Not at all. But the sport is about the sport, not individual horses.

By all means show close-ups etc once the race is over and digested but if we're going to deepen our appreciation of how a race has unfolded we need to see it. We need to see how the runners finished in relation to each other.

Even f1 coverage shows the first few finishers taking the flag.

(There's too many close-ups in football too, but that's for another thread although it's maybe the same duffers in charge.)
