Title: Oaklawn Drone Footage
Post by: BitPlayer on April 08, 2025, 07:07:18 AM
Kudos to Oaklawn Park for adding a drone replay of the race at the end of the head-on replay.  In addition to the benefit for trip notes, drone footage can help stewards adjudicate incidents on, and coming out of, turns that were \"blind spots\" in the past.

Should be mandatory, the more angles the better. In Hong Kong, there replays are pretty good too. They show a stand-a-lone gallop out video, they have a video of just the leaders, and one at the gate that shows a great angle of all the horses at the start.

Horse racing being a visual sport along with data, you would think the racing heads would get on board.
