Watching race replays

It depends if you are trying to concentrate on specific horses or not. You can get a lot of notes in two or three watchings of the pan and a couple viewings of the head on but if you are trying to concentrate on specific horses it's hard to watch more than two or maybe three. It also depends how much actually happens in the race.

It varies quite a bit. There are times when I am just concerned about maybe 2 or 3 horses in a race. But there are times (mostly turf races) where I have no vested interest in the actual outcome of the race, but I am watching the replay in hopes of spotting troubled trips, etc...for future plays. In cases such as that, I will rewatch the race over and over, concentrating on only one particular horse per time.
