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.
