Saw elsewhere the Derby PP draw is 4-5 Eastern, so double check.

Miraculously, I do. They took over from Versus. If you had Versus, you'll get it.

That's what is meant by undercard.

It is going to full day of surfing the channels for me. HRTV, TVG, NBC, and NBCSN are going to be focusing on the race.

Also saw an ad on HRTV for a new simulcast channel on DISH for $50 p/month in addition to your regular programming. You get up to 50 tracks.

I watch very little TV and when it comes to contemporary gadgets I'm definitely "technologically challenged". Comcast cable comes with my condo and I thought it was limited to Channels 2-69 with none of those HBO, Showtime ones included. I have no idea what all these variations on HD mean, but apparently lots of odd channels are available, hidden among the potential 800 + channels. So I googled NBC Sports and was delighted to discover that Comcast carries it here as Channel 730.

It used to be Versus and has been showing racing off and on for a year now.
