Responsive to the patron selecting the image, the image is saved and the patron is provided with an opportunity to view the saved imaged subsequent to saving. A system and computer for providing the method of conducting the pari-mutuel gaming activity is also disclosed. In the pari-mutuel gaming activities described herein, a patron is enabled to create multiple 'snapshots' of a race.
