Too bad the computer rendering and CGI that is so present in movies like Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, all the recent science fiction titles, is not quite up to being able to accurately render a horse race from scratch.
One could conceivably pan the empty track and superimpose the virtual horses (with real jockey closeups and placement in shots) and make it look good. I don't think they are quite there yet with living things. Inanimate objects of all sorts can be done and look as real as anything else. In a couple of years, this issue could be moot - there would be no potential for injury and nothing for the "animal rights" people to complain about, and yet we could depict horse racing from any angle, in any scenario onscreen.

Great story. The whole situation is a real shame! I've watched every episode and although I thought the first few episodes were a little dry, I think the show was really starting to gain momentum. But, in the end I think it really came down to ratings. If I wasn't a race fan, I'm not sure I would have watched it.

I wish this show could somehow get a mulligan. They wasted so much time on some pointless storylines and lame characters. This is hbo-did we really have to wait an entire season to see a sex scene and someone getting killed?
I think what we saw in the last two episodes is what I expected to see throughout. In the end, it was too little too late.

Wasn't crazy about the scene theft from Indecent Proposal. That movie is 20 years old already!
