As for the "two-at-once" races, I thonk it's a terrible idea. They'll have to add to the gate crew(s), use two starters and I have no idea how they will use the patrol cameras. And what happens of a horse gets loose in the post parade ?

Love Calder's innovation. It likely will go well. But I'd rather not see them do this.
