That 1st race. Close up on the 1st 2 over a fence, ignore the rest of the field. The fav falls and you’re now looking at one horse running away from the fence, whilst out of view, the stricken horse causes mayhem behind. Dont ask me what actually happened because we never saw it.
Zoom out and show the field ffs..

I am loving these drone shots from the moon, how anyone can make out the position of the horses and who is traveling or not is beyond me. If this is the future for chelt and prob aintree and the bigger fixtures well I am going to have to find a new job Scared

Too many different camera switches breaks up the continuity of the race, the drone shots are worthless.

I want to see races as I would watch them as if at the course.  One view.  None of this multiple cameras, and on the flat this cr@p with a car with a camera on the top collowing the field around.
By all means have the cameras for replaying incidents afterwards but this "dramatic" focus on the top 2 or 3 at the expense of the rest of the field....

My beef is that when there's backlight (sunshine) they set the camera exposure to the overall scene

rather than the horses. As a result the runners are silhouetted and the silks hard to see. An

amateur photographer would do better.

Agree entirely the drone shots are just an irritation, and the only time they should be used is after the race has finished.

the chopping and changing is infuriating.
