I would think aggravation caused by closing the pools prematurely would far outweigh the aggrevation caused by the pools closing late once in a great while.

Agree with Chuck on this. There were numerous gate scratches at Saratoga this summer and at other tracks on a regular basis. Handle drives the game and having a favorite scratched at the gate after the windows closed would have a huge impact.
