What does a charter do?

Charters are the people who observe horse races, describe race call outs, and record statistical data of the race to use for publication. They use a formula to compute race completion times for all except for winning horses. Their binoculars are used during a race to view distance markers along the tracks and call out the horses' numbers, positions, and related data for other workers to record. They must have good communication skills, computer skills, and a good understanding of the horse racing industry.
