McQuade Says Fans Can Watch Both College Football, Breeders' Cup

ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 will telecast coverage of Friday's and Saturday's Breeders' Cup races at Churchill Downs. ESPN VP/Production Mike McQuade said, "We have 35 cameras, one airplane, over 200 people and great on-air crew in place. ... Churchill Downs is a beautiful but massive facility, and so that presents a logistical challenge."

He added, "We are aware that people will be watching college football and checking in on the races. We will keep people updated on post times, and so the beauty of racing is that it is an event that is over in about two minutes. So for those watching college football, they can tune us in, watch the entire race and be back to their game in about the same time as a commercial break" (WASHINGTONEXAMINER.com, 11/3).
