    No it's usually not on over here, ATR have no deal with Churchill Downs. I think Racing UK might have shown it in the past but don't think they showed it last year.

    Isn't the Breeders Cup being held in Churchill Downs this year? If that's the case will ATR not be showing it?

    Have any idea what sires on should be looking at when considering horses pedigree for this race?

    When the Breeders is on at Churchill ATR do show it but think that's because it's a separate deal with the company behind the Breeders Cup. BC is on in Keenland this year anyway which is an ATR track in any case.

    I'd say you'll get a link on the kentucky derby website on the night.

    It says on their TV Guide ATR are showing Churchill Downs so i presume theyll show the Derby. I would be surprised if none of ATR or Racing UK showed it live even if their stream is robbed straight from NBC.

    My mistake then. Must be a recent thing as they definitely didn't have Churchill in the past.

    A joke alright...they'll probably show some prerecorded race in Fairgrounds at that time now. Maybe Racing UK have it but ATR is nearly always the channel for American racing.

    Actually sounds like Racing UK are showing it reading this


    http://www.racinguk.com/news/article/34770/kentucky-derby-pinstickers-guide-2015


    That's where I saw it last year and they just used NBCs pictures.

    any actual picks?

    American pharaoh out to 3s now with pp, I got on at 11/4 2 wks ago.
    However I also think there's ew value in the 14/1 that ladbrokes are giving mubtaahij, they're also paying 4 places.

    Think American Pharoah should edge this. Will take it up near the home stretch and kick clear. Dortmund is more a battler but these type of horses are what win this more often than not. Still fancy AP to have too much speed and avoid the need for a battle. I would like Mubtaahij to do well but feel he will flop and finish midfield.

    Tighter than I thought. But good to see him edge ahead. Good chance for the Triple Crown.

    I'd have him as slight favourite for the TC alright.

    On a more serious note, that race looked a bit of a slog fest. I watch very little dirt stuff, but Jeez, they were crawling through that last furlong or two. Did first three from first bend fill 1,2,3 spots? (I hate when that happens!)
