Can't we just leave well enough alone?

Like an idiot, I except improvement in service to accompany improvement in technology. This usually is the case EXCEPT when it comes to horse racing; unfortunately.

So, KEE couldn't leave well enough alone, as their race video and camera work was just about the best around, and had to give us the KEE LOGO at the top left of each replay. Well, the intent must've been to situate it at the top left of the screen as they got the 'left' part correct but located it more center than top. So, the LOGO blocks the view of the horses on the outside. Lovely.

Now, NYRA, constantly experimenting (they seem to feel the need to switch the rear view of the stretch run for the headon) have now resorted to the QUARTER screen for replays. Yeah, we can't show a replay without showing the odds for the next race and the payoffs for the present race. WTF, what's next? no replay?

Just when the technology is at a point where we can finally get good video, we seem to be phasing video out completely.
