Drone at Belmont?

Is that a drone shot they are using at the start of the races on NBC?

Anybody there see it?

That is the best shot I've seen.
Love the angles on the backstretch of the tuf races, too - really good view of the race, and you get the sense of just how massive the track is!

NYRA should open the piggy bank and buy one to use everyday.
Just don't let the timekeeper touch it!

On a serious note. Gulfstream has used a drone for the last two Florida derby’s
I’m so amazed how more tracks dont use the new tech.

I don't believe it was a drone. There was a helicopter overhead following the horses around.

It's true, the meet at Gulfstream never ends...

But on the other hand the races at Gulfstream never seem to start. (Every time I look it's always 0 minutes to post.)

What do they run, 30 races a day?
It seems every other race is from GP.
