This is pretty laughable. All but three tracks still use chartcallers to get their data; most of the Cali tracks, and the Meadowlands, have stopped showing full headon replays, and tracks like Pimlico don't have enough zoon lens cameras to go around -- NYRA had this 'problem' until recently, as well. The 'game' or, more precisely, those controlling it, could really give a **** about catching up with the times.
YET, the game is a lot better of than it was before for those playing it. More tracks means more options. And, the last thing that's making a comeback is gamblers going back to the track to bet. The interesting thing is that I could care less what happens to AQU or BEL, or even SAR. It's nice not being held hostage by my 'local' track(s). Plenty of other places to play. And, the degenerate arm pullers could hike it over to Jersey or start sniffing glue (assuming they aren't already).
