How is NOT putting up the photo of a very close finish IMMEDIATELY AFTER the race a NON event?
MTH, more often than not, focus on the winner of the race as it gallops out and then makes its way back to the paddock area, RATHER than a replay of the stretch run. This can be very infuriating when the finish is very close. NYRA is very good at replaying the stretch run (a few times). However, even when slowed down,
sometimes, due to the angle, it's not exactly evident which horse won a particular race. This is where the photo comes into play. Of course, when it comes into play 45 minutes AFTER the fact, it's basically of no use to anyone. As it's not really a MAJOR task to put a ****in' picture on a website, not doing so is thus an 'event'. We pay our money when we bet; the NYRA employees really should then just do the job they're being paid for.
It's not like we're asking for some major s h i t: like, actually having them do mic checks before they broadcast. I mean, what would a NYRA broadcast be like if we didn't have to constantly adjust the volume: Serling is ALWAYS too LOW, relative to Blewitt; and both are too low relative to Durkin. Clearly, this is not 'someone's job'.
