Andy, do you have the technology to insert arrows or highlight the key horse?

The picture quality on my computer is lacking a bit, and that combined with my color blindness makes it difficult for me to follow the key horse.
I would assume others may have the same problem (computer monitor, not color blindness).

Hopefully we will highlight in the future. It's not always easy but we'll figure something out.

Very interesting. I would suggest giving more detail of the horses in question as on some computers (speed) it's very hard to distinguish cap color and location in the race. Slow motion is excellent used on first race. Arrows would be good.

Also, listing horses on screen at the end with name, trainer, and jock that day would make it easier to keep track and record info for future.

Otherwise very useful horse racing information.

Thanks Andy

Adding text and graphics (arrows and such) to video is pretty easy, once you have some familiarity with it.

There are tons of programs out there that will do this.

www.videohelp.com for everything you conceivably want to know how to do with any form of video.

A lot of LAZY mofo's here. How about actually firing up a BETTER replay and watching the race again with the comments of the experts in mind?

Last thing these guys need is to be editing video. Should be enough that they're sharing some INVALUABLE information (and techniques).

I just watched part 1 and maybe I'm in the minority but I don't think it needs arrows, highlights, etc. Either way. The people who are watching this know where to look..... like I said though either way.

You looked suave. Good interaction, very natural, open and honest hand gestures. Sorry for being the visual type but if I'm distracted by something I find annoying, I'll tune out.

Well done, Mr. Serling. You have the official seal of approval from the pretty horsie squad.

Your dream come true, I'm sure...
