In fact on the turn the whole field is obscured for several seconds by the mammoth box structure that they have erected on the infield. This is a critical part of the race and you won't be able to follow you horse making a move in the derby so that so drunken people in boxes can have a blast.

The ESPN producers must read derbytrail. Now instead of showing the section of the race that is obstructed by the tents, they cut away to the blimp shot for those five seconds which helps but still is disorienting to follow. As soon as you find your horse in the overhead shot they cut back and you have to re-adjust.
