Can't they make a simulcast room somewhere in the grandstand to accomadate players who want to play multiple tracks.
I know the idea at Saratoga is to be outside , near the paddock , walking around , but, sometimes it's frustrating not being able to see "all races" in 1 spot

That's an interesting question. I think it's simply a matter of where you position yourself for the day.
The Carousel 'Tele-Theater' has the multiple TV's with the simo broadcasts all day long because it's the post-race day site for wagering until 7pm. It is the best venue on track for simo players. After thats, most of the jumbotron TV boards have 3 TV's on either side that feature out of town broadcasts.
The 'umbrella' stand TV units, (known as the TV trees by admin), all have one TV designated as a simo, and by my Barbecue I switch it to whatever the best action is that afternoon (MTH or AP typically, DMR later) or whatever people specifically are looking to watch. (The PGA Championship is historically shown on that TV every year as well).
So, the point is that while the facility isn't exactly ideally built for simo, there are pockets where it's pretty well handled...
