The worst part is the freaking start shown from ground level. you can hardly tell if your horse broke good or bad then have to try to pick them up when they change the angle going into the first turn. The blimp angle is interesting if they show it afterwards and you can see exactly what path your horse was in because you already watched it one time and know where to look. Otherwise it was awful. I'm sure that they think this is appealing to "new fans or the general public". It's 'cutting edge'! It is a fuc kin joke!

And someone should tell them overhead shots showing that half the parking lot is empty is probably not a good idea when you are trying to showcase a 'big event'.

I think that a lot of complaints that are made concerning the game or BC are sometimes misguided or unrealistic but the coverage of these races on ESPN is really close to unwatchable.

Why is it a Joke, it was a great Day of racing.

As far as Track records these are some of the best horses in the world in there respective divisions.
And do you really think if SA would have had there old dirt track they would been running any slower. SA would have had the track as hard as the the Santa Monica Free Way. Oh I forgot it was like that everyday anyway. IF you remember 10k claimers would run 108 and change everyday on the old dirt track.

THere were great story lines every where.

The track is simply too fast. Look at the times from the first 2 races which were not the best horses in the world. Read what I said again. If this track was a dirt track and the times were this fast people would be absolutely freaking out.The filly sprint was won by a dead closer who won by 4 and they shaded 120. The only filly I ever remember shading 120 ever was Melair and Ventura while a nice filly aint no Melair.
