As for the coverage, the slo-mo re-run of the finish is a help but they really should have clearer pictures, as they do in cycling and athletics, and they should go right through the field. Even the ten-bob-each-way-just-on-this-occasion punter deserves to know where his/her horse finished.

They're not good enough at calling them home either. On one or two occasions the first two or three got mentioned crossing the line then nothing, just focusing on the winner. Either that or just a list of names with no meaningful context.

And the traditionalist in me wants the winning owner-trainer-jockey sequence resurrected.
