I understand why announcers can't give any information at all about the status of a horse, but why can't they report on what we are all seeing on TV? I was watching the race on HRTV, and you could see during the running of the race that something had happened to Wanderin Boy and that he didn't finish, and then when they showed the replay you could see that the jock had jumped off of him. Why couldn't Jon or Millie acknowledge what was just shown on their broadcast?
