Simply put, it needs highlights. Or a simple rundown of the field prior to the actual replay (which might be better because it could give the conditions of the race as well).
No dear one, I'm not saying I have these powers of foresight of which you speak. What I meant was that horseplayers in general are not idiots..... if someone is talking about a race none of us need dumbing down. I appreciated the simplicity of just showing the race(s).

Arrows / highlights are fine, they work. My point is only that it works either way. Just my opinion... you can tell me to stick it wherever you see fit.

GPK Sir? Damned right he looked suave.

You know, and I'm sure others here do too, that I was the one to nail Andy to a cross and rip him to shreds when I thought he wasn't visually as natural, well-dressed, well-spoken, etc as he is here.

Andy looked mahvalas. Deal with it.
