BC Voting - COLORED SADDLE CLOTHS :)

[PatCummings]

If using "chicklets" the Keeneland/Del Mar model would certainly be best. I completely agree there.

What is the issue with OTBs not playing sound? Even on track simulcasting areas should play sound. It is the two biggest days in American racing and you don't get sound?

Talking about colored saddletowels - if you are sitting at an OTB and don't have personal TV in front of you, with the lack of clarity in these signals anyway, your chances of clearly seeing the saddle towel colors is limited. I'm not saying it wouldn't be some help, but I think it can be a bit overblown.

many OTB's don't get sound, but Pat, i dont care how loud the volume is up, when you have lots of people in an enclosed/inside area, you can't hear the announcer, plain and simple, unless its somebody screaming at the top of their lungs, which nobody wants to hear anyways.

I'm not saying colored saddle cloths are a bad idea but...you should be able to recognize a lot of these horses just from following them throughout the year. Horses don't change equipment very much. They tend to be wear the same shadowroll, blinker, etc. that they always wear.

But how is someone new suppose to know what the hell is going on. Alot of people go to the BC because it is 'in the area' and they heavily market the area when it is there.
