1. Can not see the horse (shown from path/tunnel entering track , not track)

2. starts before bugle call to the post

3. often skips to next horse before finding/showing number on screen

Definitely needs improvement.
Best product in the country, probably the worst post parade coverage.
Someone's nephew runs the cameras perhaps? :rolleyes:

Agree Tom. Great racing product. Great track handicappers.Maggie is probably the best in the paddock. Actually do a pretty good job after the post parade of the warm-up gallops.

But if you tune-in to catch the post parade, you will miss the first couple horses because it starts before the Call-to-post, and you will be lucky if you see most of the others. Frustrating at times.

Same can be said of the Post Parade at Beulah Park. The horses running are always blocked by the outriders. River Downs does the best in Ohio, they have a camera on the infield and you can see the horses as soon as they get on the track.

That infield camera is probably shorting out the timers! :lol:
