VZ,
Since off-track handle accounts for 90% of a track’s total, the most atTRACtive app with the biggest bang for the buck, both for builder and bettor, has to be the “binocular”—similar in concept to the “magnifier” in Windows.

It would allow the viewer to zoom in on any portion of a full-field display image to isolate the horse of choice and display an enlarged image.

It is entirely do-able using high-definition,internet-streamed live video and replays. What are they waiting for, an invitation?
