Can a NEARSIGHTED BROTHER get a break?

Just saying

I mean

the headons of the stretch run of the turf sprints at BEL must be shot from Linden Boulevard.

No money in the budget for a zoom lens, NYRA?

P.S. Have your crew check out the KEE site, and the replays in particular, for the right way to do things.

I actually agree, and it seems that NYRA tracks are the only ones in America that don't have a zoom angle in addition to a pan during the race.

Not only that, but if you're not going to have a zoom angle, at least have the accurate first four runners at the bottom of the screen. In yesterday's sixth race, the numbers took about until halfway around the turn to show up, and then they were completely wrong. How the hell am I supposed to know if my horse is near the front? Every track in the country should have Trakus, there's no reason not to, but if you're too cheap to spring for it, at least be accurate in your primitive presentation. It's not that difficult.

the numbers not on the bottom of the screen bother me as well. especially with a big field and Durkin still working his way through the field you've got horses past the half way point on the turn before any numbers go up, and they are often wrong.
