If a horse or jockey get hurt and the bettor doesn't want to watch, then that decision should be the bettors, not the track who are allowing stewards to make decisions that impact the outcome.

The same thing happens when a horse has an issue loading up in the gate before races also. Usually the camera pans away from the gate and you as a viewer do not get to see the whole incident. Sometimes the horses act up in the loading gate and you dont get to see if its serious or not.
