in general
My first suggestion to whom it may concern, is the video coverage of the races. (this also applies to T-breds) With the internet, you can pick and choose which track you are inclined to play.
Some tracks offer beautiful TV coverage with all the horses “viewable” form start to the finish line. These are the only tracks I play.
Other tracks appear as though they are trying to hide something with the cameraman zeroing in on the leaders from the top of the lane home, totally eliminating from screen view the remaining 7 to 10 finishers the entire length of the stretch. As far as playing those tracks go, to me, they don’t exist. Point: Do things right, tracks, do things right!!!

It’s something that does annoy to an extent when you are betting on one horse which is trapped away and the caller has missed it, and good camera work can mitigate that problem.
I can understand why they focus on the leaders more often than not, but occasionally the cameramen/women do get caught out by the “swoopers”. We’re quite lucky in New Zealand in that respect, I feel - with the camerawork nicely blended between giving the field full coverage and providing fresh new angles.
