Default Track announcers - pet peeve

First peeve: Track announcers have lost the ability to verbally describe a horse race. You don't know what's going on unless one is watching it at the same time.

If you're just listening to a call from the top of the stretch, good luck figuring out what is happening, who is holding on, who is passing who.

Second peeve: at Kee today, the placements weren't even announced, or who the photos were between, or who was up at the finish. Very disappointing announcing today at Kee.
