Look at the silks of your horse, those kind of help.

Want to lend me some binoculars? What if I have multiple horses in the race? It's a little annoying to have to try to ferret out the silks of 3-4 horses and then attempt to follow them all, whereas with Trakus or colored saddlecloths, I could see right away where everyone was.

BINGO

Do away with TRACK ANNOUNCERS -- they're about as accurate as chart makers --

and invest the money in TRAKUS. Watching races is EASY when the NUMBERS on the screen are ACCURATE. With Trakus, you don't even need the colored cloths.

Time for the industry to CATCH UP WITH PRESENT TECHNOLOGY (and thus gain some desperately needed ACCURACY).

Why isnt TVG using trakus at KEE this year? I guess, like everything else in this game, it makes too much sense.

Thanks Danzig, some people can be a little slow to catch on around here.

and wet!

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.
