I think this is a really cool idea, although I am not exactly sure how this will help handicapping the horses that are working out there. Anyone care to expand on this?

Are they going to make the Stewards aware who is working out and how far they are going or are they just gonna give a video feed to the track and let everyone see a bunch of brown horses running about?

This would be great if they had a graphic showing who was working, who was working the horse, how far they were working, etc. Of course it will just be a shot of the track and whoever is on it.

I knpw the BC is a special event and I dont know how all venues host the event . At lonestar during Bc preperations Mike Wronna was at the mike pointing out various horses when they were on the track. This helped a novice like myself. If S A would do someting similar it could assist some of us.

Obviously it won't be perfect, but we always bitch about racetracks not trying anything new, and at least SA is trying something with nothing in it for them for the fans benefit. I'd say they deserve kudos for at least trying.

I think like the article said they will have to tinker with the system until they get it right, but with this and calracing.com, which offers free race replays of all races, they have taken tremendous strides that other tracks haven't. Whether you love or hate poly/cushion, they are at least attempting to make racing safer for the lives of jockey's and horses.
In other track developments, Churchill has found a way to further rape their customers at the Derby with their high-end Derby packages.

We talk about all the beautiful and quality tracks but Cal is the most fan friendly of all the jurisdictions and So cal more spacific. Love or hate Cal racing, they are always trying to improve the product with new ideas.
