I like the specialness of all purple...but for the fan...this is the right call. Good for the BC.

This is good for the people on-track.

But for those watching on TV, there's one more step imho, and that would be to add Trackus on the bottom of the screen. No matter what color you're looking for, be it silks or saddlecloths, they are hard to see in full fields around the turns.

thanks.
And remember...Things work out best when you make the best of the way things work out.

Am I the only one that when the chiclets are on the screen you forget to watch the horses? Perhaps my fascination will end eventually.

Seriously bright development that should be rewarded with hoo-rahs. Let's keep these positive changes going.

Don't think you're the only one. Those chiclets are hypnotic.

There is nothing worse than watching a race and NOT knowing who the hell is winning. It's hard enough to handicap this game, but don't make us guess which horse is on coming on late because they all have the same color saddle cloth.
