Who actually shows up for Qualifiers other than owners and horseman? Heck, you can't get more than 100 people to attend for live races.  But if they're doing it right before live races then I might say Yes.

Absolutely. I follow the qualifiers at Scioto and there is no sound and the drivers are not required to wear colors and it is almost impossible to follow a certain horse not to mention you have no idea about the fractions until the race is over

I think it would be good practice for apprentice race callers

Also, the video eqpt they are using is not good enough to distinguish saddle pad colors except right in front of the grand stands so they makes it even more difficult to follow the race.
