Blimp cam is great for a replay, after you have seen therace. It gives you are great view of who was really where without the distortion of the pan shot. Jumping back and forth from pan to blimp is a nightmare.
In the Derby, the blimp caught the start of MTB's move and you can see his entire move. Watching the regular shot he's not visible until the top of the stretch when he goies around West Side Bernie (?) and ducks back in.
Same with the Preakness. You see MTB and the Lukas horse moving together than they separate as MTB goes outside and FP goes in. You just can't get that perspective from a pan shot.
