Who will host the undercards?

With NBC picking up the Belmont after a few years absence, they also picked up the Black-Eyed Susan card, Derby undercard Preakness underard, and Belmont undercard. This goes with the Oaks (which they aquired two years ago), Derby and Preakness. This year will be big as they are moving the Oaks (and their undercard which they have not been showing I belive) from the woman's channel Bravo to Versus. Some people may have not heard of Versus before, but they have heard of it's predasessor OLN (Outdoor Life Network which I believe is still used in Canada, because they don't show hockey). This is a station that was brought into the fold by Comcast when they bought NBCUniversal from GE. Reportly the station will be renamed after the channel to combinsante their expanding coverage of other sports. Which begs the question, who will host the Oaks undercard, Black-Eyed Susan, Derby, Preakness and Belmont undercards?

The following are the possible candiates.

Erik Kuselias- a relateve newcomer to Versus, he also works at the Golf Channel. Comes from ESPN after host/filling in for certin spots. He's more of a football guy, but the next guy down that same road.

Cris Collinsworth- an odd choice you may say? But his Sunday Night Football cohort has done horse racing telecasts, plus he worked on Madden with Tom Hammond a few years ago. NBC sent him Bejing and Vancouver to do fluff pieces. He might be better suited for a different spot, but still.

Gary Siebel- the recently fired TVG harness anyalist, but he has worked with NBC on Hambo telecasts.

Mary Carillo- Super Brat's (John McEnroe) childhood friend, of course Tennis is her main sport, but she has hosted Westminster (something that former horse racing anaylist Charlise Canty did when she was with NBC, although she was a sideline reporter) twice for USA, and has done fluff pieces like Cris did in Bejing and Vancouver.

Al Michaels- He's no stranger to horse racing as he had done several telecasts when he was still with ABC. He returned to his "roots" last year when he went to Vancouver for the Olympics, and with the NFL lockout going on, might be fun to see him doing a horse racing telecast again.

Donna Brothers- Would be nice to see her not in a horse saddle all the time, although I'm sure she doesn't have a problem with it.

Kenny Rice- The most logical candiate as he has hosted Hambo and the Eclipse Awards. He and Donna will still be able to fulfill their regular spots though.

Kenny Albert- Dad is the one and only Marv Albert, but Kenny holds his own. He hosted horse racing coverage when Fox had it on. He's more of a hockey guy, but with the playoffs starting to wind down they more then likely won't need as many people, thus he'll be avalible.

Someone from HRTV whose name is not Gary Stevens- yep I went there. He'll more likely be the analyst for part of the cards though before NBC takes over the coverage.

Bob Costas- Although he's used in more of a Brent Musberger way when it comes to horse racing, he's going to be there anyway.

Tom Hammond- Hey if he can handle it, great! The reason why I decided to post this is when ESPN did the undercards, their main hosts didn't work the entire underard. It will be interesting who they choose weather it be him or someone else.

Most likely: Kenny Rice, Donna Brothers
Want: Kenny Albert, Al Michaels, Bob Costas
Would Laught at: Cris Collinsworth
Won't happen, but would be happy if ESPN would let him go on just for one day: Kenny Mayne (cuse he's Kenny!)

Edit: Laffit Pincay III and Randy Moss will be the hosts for the undercard. Laffit is not a big suprise, but Randy a little bit since he works for ESPN. I'm wondering though if they let him go, but I don't think they did because he covered the reaction from Minn. when the Lynx drafted Maya Moore earlier this month.
