Broadcasts need to show every horse in the warm-ups and post parade

One of my pet peeves that I have when betting from home is that I don’t get to see all of the horses warming up. What I would like to propose is that every horse have a camera fixed on them during the entire post parade and warm-ups. Today, the cost of cameras is not that expensive.

The feed would display the view from all of the cameras at once, much as they do in the NFL Sunday Ticket package. It would be even cooler if you had the option to enlarge the specific view you’re interested in and switch between them, but that might be asking too much. Just so long as I can see all the horses warming up, I would be happy.

I suggest using the tracking technology that is available today so that you wouldn’t need eight plus cameramen, but the process would be completely autonomous. For example, I believe that Woodbine Mohawk Park has trackers in every saddle pad that allow them to show the exact position of each horse on the screen Like drones use trackers to lock in on a target, the cameras can do the same.
