Have you been to Keeneland or seen the Woodbine simucast?

It is far from annoying, give someone that is actually watching the race the opportunity to find their horse.

I've been to Keeneland tens of times and i've watched the woodbine simulcast quite a bit. I just dont care for them at all with the bouncy thingys, i do however like when they just post the order in a straight line.

Just my opinion, i can understand where your coming from completely, if i had the option i wouldnt have them.

The Woodbine simulcast signal is horrendous. They've taken up half the screen to put up the chicklets that not only bounce around all the time but switch over every time a turn is made.

I love what Keeneland and Del Mar do and Woodbine could immediately improve their signal by following suit.

I agree, keep them on the bottom of the screen and all is well.
