And if they show an angle other than behind the pitcher in baseball, you almost cant follow what is going on. But these genius directors feel the need to switch angles 10 times during the race. Why not give us different shots during the replay of the race since they have 30 minutes between the races and the actual race usually only takes 2 minutes to run. Having the races in HD is a obvious plus though.
It is almost like they feel compeled to show angles from down low to try to show how fast the horses are going (ala auto racing). Nobody cares about that angle. If they want to play around with the angles do it during the marathon and maybe the turf. But I do not need to see 18 different angles in a race that is only going to take 68 seconds. Chuck is right, show them after the race. We want to see as much of the field as possible from the normal perspective, period.
