Why doesn't Tampa have a head-on for their turf course? Using the one for the dirt course creates an angle that is possibly deceptive. They do such a good job there, and run plenty of turf races, you would think they could spend the $1000 or so it costs to mount a camera in the correct spot.

$$$ that's it. They would have to build camera towers and buy cameras. I am sure they think what they have is fine, but that is what separates a good track from an average track. The little things. Another thing I found out the hard way last weekend is they don't pay consos on the pick 6 if someone hits it. I had 5 of 6 and got a left with a little piece of paper with a lot of numbers and a bar code on it. Probably my first and last P6 I play at Tampa.
I digress, you are right that infraction was very late, but....the swerve was pretty bad. I thought it was the correct decision.
Your buddy that liked the 1 horse saw something I didn't. I thought he needed the lead and I knew the 3 would send at all costs. The 1 ran a huge race.
