I love watching the replay of the NYRA last race. Since they go right to simulcasting after the race, they don't show the replay, so, when CALRACING gets it, the headon is a full screen rather than the 40% of the screen we're accustomed to (the masses must see those odds).

No matter how many races I watch, the difference in perspective between the headon and the pan shot never fails to 'amaze' me. For example, in today's 6th at HOL, Candy Pull 'lacked room late' per the charts. You can't really see this in the pan shot; however, the headon shows not so much that he lacked room late but rather than he didn't have a clear run very UNTIL late. 11:1 on him.

Anyway, if you watch the pan shot of today's 9th at BEL, it appears that Nuclear Meltdown is stuck in traffic much longer than Queen of Fashion, who appears to get clear earlier. The headon shows the EXACT OPPOSITE: MN gets clear before QoF does.

I can only imagine how much easier this game would be with exact data and quality video.

From the pan shot, I AGREE. From the headon, I DISAGREE.

Next, I'll be telling you I'm a paraconsistent logician.

Let's face it, to that point, they had both gotten inside trips and it was just a matter of which got the clear run first.
