You’ve no idea how long there is to run, the 3.10, the 5.00 and the 5.35 yesterday were good examples.
The camera closes in on the horses racing and all you can see is them and green grass, no signposts on how far they have gone or is to go. Even Richard Hoiles resorts to a general "coming up to halfway" or "coming to the closing stages" No wonder if he’s watching the same pictures we are.
They need to get some distances superimposed on the pictures like they do in France or Hong Kong, lengthen the shot or narrow the track as it is totally unsatisfactory not knowing how far they have gone or there is to go.
Totally agree.
A truly awful course for the on course spectator and tv viewer.
Last year on the far side practically all the furlong posts had disappeared so no one had any idea, whatever size the fields that side, including the jockeys. BHA promised to get it sorted out after complaint. Then there is the twilight zone times they split into 3 groups. Truly appalling.
