Has the Saturday BC race schedule been released?
 

There is a social event that starts at 6pm EDT that day and I am trying to figure out how much of it (the social event) I will have to miss.

TIA.

The exact order of races has not been set yet, but the post times are listed on Equibase under "Entries", then "Race dates & calendar". First post is 10:15 PDT, 12th race (Classic?) is 5:35 Pacific/8:35 Eastern.

Really, they are going to blow through dinner and early evening on Saturday East Coast time? That seems odd. If it was the Friday schedule I would be less surprised.

That is one of the reasons why they pick that location, the time difference makes it able to run (with no lights) but be in a prime time slot for the classic.

You look right:

This is pretty much the same as every BC that has been on the west coast. They can't really start at 7:00am at the host site so the east coast can end before dinner.

Typically they start in the 3-4 PM Area EST

imagine handle is better on the west coast hosting days as a whole. 7am start times gotta be brutal for those out west when its on the,east coast

Handle is best by FAR when the event is at Churchill.

I think they may have an eye toward televising the BCC in PRIME TIME for half of america

I swear one year at Hollywood we started at 10 AM. I think we got there about 7 AM. that's Pacific Time. In later years they start later.

for sure, like 1998 I remember getting there very early.

so ahh..where you going ?
