Is it just me or is there other people that would like to see video replays of horse workouts ?

Hmmm. I don't know how that would work. They DO tape works of Derby and Breeders' Cup contenders. TVG has a show at that time called (drumroll).....

The Works.

I don't think it's plausible to ask that every horse working be taped. Would it be helpful to handicappers and owners? Absolutely. But trainers are sneaky.

So trainers are sneaky eh? Well as a trainer I would welcome videos of workouts. Unfortunately as a trainer I am way too busy to hold the video-cam when I have one or two working. I am nervously watching what is going on all over the track as my charges make their way to the break-off point. Hoping that some idiot rider or trainer or horse does not ruin things by galloping slowly too close to the running rail while my charge is picking up speed or is not running loose the wrong way into their path. Oh yes please video workouts for me and will someone please dispense some Prozac near the clockers stand while we wait!
