All that's needed is a correct result called - that's all i want - no songs, dances or chats - just call me the quartet in the correct order and i'm happy

i'llkeep my 1000x straight line ticket just for you Scotia - i really don't care who calls just as long as they get the result correct - somtimes the race callers have me in tears on the highway when i phone for the official result only to find that my horse (called second) was not even a dirty fourth - the looks i get from the other drivers when i start hammering my steering wheel is priceless!!!

I think the point here is that it is important to understand the punters priority which is a "picture" of the race and the result.Not artistic content or entertainment.
On that point is anybody else pissed off at being shown beautiful close-ups,on camera +-200 out at, whereby you lose all relativity to other horses running on,or other placings.Keep that for the replay!

must say i saw the backend of a field the other day and had no idea what the camera man was trying to do - i have no interest in watching the rear-end of horses - lost my focus on the race completly

Would've worked for me, my horses normally at the back,could've seen their actions, never see em from the front.
