NBC Sports has all three Triple Crown races

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know alot about the horse racing industry, but the sport is big here in Iowa with the success of Prairie Meadows and Paddy O'Prado, finished 3rd in last year's Kentucky Derby and is owned by several Iowan's.

Today, NBC Sports announced it reached a multi-year agreement to be the TV home of the Triple Crown. According to a press release, NBC will televise all three legs of the Triple Crown and the NBC Sports Group (NBC, VERSUS & Comcast SportsNet) will present 25 hours worth of Triple Crown coverage. In addition, expanded Kentucky Derby coverage, including the Kentucky Oaks will be found on VERSUS.
