NBC Sports’ Britney Eurton on Her Biggest Fear Covering the Kentucky Derby
Britney Eurton, a TVG horse-racing reporter whose father, Peter, is a former jockey and current trainer, admits she’s still a little nervous making her Triple Crown debut for NBC Sports for the network’s five-hour Kentucky Derby broadcast this Saturday.
Her biggest fear? Falling over on air. “That would be the most embarrassing thing ever,” she told TheWrap, pledging to wear wedges over high heels.
Still, Eurton (above right with actress Elizabeth Banks) said she’s confident that she’ll make it through the 144th annual event. “This is probably the two most exciting minutes in sports and having grown up in the industry, it is something I’ve been following my entire life,” she said.
