Thumbs down

When you watch the races from Churchill today, in order to actually catch a glimpse of your horse on the backstretch, your eye will have to deal with, satellite dishes, towers, trees, bushes, and tents, all of which obscure the viewing of the race at some point. In fact on the turn the whole field is obscured for several seconds by the mammoth box structure that they have erected on the infield. This is a critical part of the race and you won't be able to follow you horse making a move in the derby so that so drunken people in boxes can have a blast.

I find this terribly irritating but not surprising as this industry seems to never think about the customers experience.

They should rename it the most exciting 1 minute, 55 seconds in sports to allow for these obstructions.
