Fair to say those on-screen graphics are having “teething troubles”.

The 1.35 Warwick running order graphics had the wrong colours for No.3 and the order froze after 15 seconds, so were wrong for almost the entire race (if anyone was taking notice).

I guess RTV felt they had to copy SSR and introduce them, but offer no benefit for the vast majority of viewers. If we have to suffer this additional annoyance, RTV should look at moving that whole row of graphics at the bottom of the screen down one line.

It just re-inforces my view that broadcasters seem to have lost the plot when it comes to how they present live racing to the viewers. They seem happy to clutter up the screen and obscure the race itself, but can’t bring themselves to provide a full screen graphic for the result and SP/Tote returns, when we would be missing nothing for a few seconds.

....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.
