I thought of that too, if not a full outfit. Why not a helmet cover that matches the saddle cover.
Something to make the horses more identifiable to fans.
I'm not buying all those excuses, Astro.
It's not just when they turn into the stretch that we can't tell them apart. It's on the far side too.
Do fans have every riders colors memorized? The driver colors is mostly useless to people watching that aren't "insiders".
The sport is not about promoting the DRIVERS. Attempting to make it about them has never worked. How about all the similar colors drivers wear? I can't tell who's who when Tim and Trace Tetrick are in the same race - and Cory Callahan is in there to boot.
So if you need four or five of every color to accommodate for the over-sized drivers, then have them available.
It's something that can be done. I'll drop the wheel disk idea, unless someone could figure how to do it safely.
Remember, we want new people to follow this great sport. Not just traditionalists. There's more room for everyone.
