This is something I have not appreciated as well as I should have in all my years of handicapping/playing. Being a better race watcher/replay watcher is one of my goals for 2024.

I think about a mile race - we get 4 calls of the second half of the race, and essentially NONE of the first half (consider the run-up before the timer starts as part of that first half). A lot goes on there, and of course much goes on between calls.
