The purple saddle towels are a pain in the a$$ to follow, but it's really no worse than trying to watch European races, especially Ascot where the numbers are microscopic and the saddle towels are all the same color.

so much for hammerle's influence and all the emails sent to him.
this just shows the disreguard the BC has for fans and players.

I dont understand why they are so stubborn with the saddle towels. I mean it is seemingly a minor issue that virtually no one outside of the BC offices seems to support. I understand when people say that they dont care about the people watching the races, it certainly rings true but I dont know why they wouldnt change at least for the positive PR? Lord knows they need some.

The BC marketing guy who did the Blood-Horse Q & A on that site Friday claims Trackus will solve everything. This completely ignores the fact that only a few tracks now have that technology, not all viewers care for it, some people prefer to watch horses rather than "chicklets" and that not everyone in attendance will be able to view a monitor even if it has Trackus (check the temp seating at recent BCs to verify this). The bottom line is that they just don't care.
