Race 2 from Belmont had 17 "Takes"(changes of cameras) for the race. 13 of them were before they turned for home. When Durkin screams that a horse checked into the turn you never saw it. Morons found a way to ruin the coverage. Move over, I am puking too.

one second you're looking at the pan view, then a quick cut to the view from space, then they are heading right at you, next the moving truck shot for about 3 seconds. makes your head spin. they have the right ingredients but they need a director that knows how to watch races. they should have one live race structure, and then a different one for replays.

I'm hoping they show Big Brown bucking in the stall during the far turn of the 3rd. Maybe show P. Diddy posing like a douchebag at the sixteenth pole.

Remember that ESPN is not here to present a simulcast feed. They are here for entertainment. Anyone outside of our horse racing circle enjoys the cool angles, cuts and unique perspectives.

Yep, give a 14 to 23 year old a video recording device these days, and they'll likely produced similarly flavored work. For whatever reason, that's the preferred style at the moment, and has been for a few years....

My mind is exploding.
And I see an industry guy is defending this debacle. Shocking.

Maybe it's just our ignorance to what others think of the game? Or what they're looking for?
I haven't seen a race yet, so let me toss that in here, however, this dying need for the typical pan shot by racing fans on ESPN is lame. How about this -- no viewers -- no ESPN -- then how would we feel? There would be no camera angles to show.

I just know that a friend of mine who has a brother not at all interested in racing made comments about how he could get into it more with the cool camera angles they showed for Dubai's racing coverage.
