They're Watching You!

Santa Anita Park has developed and installed a state-of-the-art video surveillance system that enables close monitoring of the track's entire stable area on a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week basis.

The new surveillance project, the most comprehensive system at any North American race track, is now fully operational in conjunction with opening day of Santa Anita's 2016 fall meet Sept. 30.

With more than 1,900 stalls in Santa Anita's stable area, well over 1,000 high-definition video cameras have been installed in order to closely monitor human and equine traffic in and out of individual stalls and barns. The control center utilizes the best technology available, with the capability to zoom in each of the HD cameras by a power of 25 in order to display and record in complete detail. The video footage from each camera is stored and available for detailed subsequent review to ensure full transparency in the barn area.

Okay, so I have a question.......isn't it about time that we got better camera coverage during races around the turns and especially on the turf course where judges can never determine if fouls were made because of camera angles installed in 1917?

Eh. The cameras only matter if a human is manning them and willing to dole out repercussions on the other end of it all.

I guess if they installed 1000 in the stall areas,they can strategically place 40 around the inner and outer rail of the turf cource.
