Sam Houston wants you to see the pole with the fancy gold lettering that says "FINISH", in case you missed it the first time. Then, they finally get around to showing you the winner being ridden out, and only after awhile, they show a replay of the finish. But not in slow-mo, especially when there was a photo for a placing. Real speed.

On a side note, TVG is also guilty on a replay of failing to show the entire finish in close photos for 3rd, for example.

We KNOW who the winner is, and there is nothing garnered from showing THAT horse galloping out.

Gulfstream and Laurel, we DO NOT CARE how much money was bet into the pools. Show the replay, already!

I very much care how much money was bet into the pools. I hate that I can't find that information online shortly after the race.
