When I first moved from NY to California, NY still had the rule that the wagering closed with 2 horses left to load. Well that I guess applied to only NY wagerers. I was often able to cancel wagers at the Del Mar facility, after a start delay due to a horse breaking through the gate. I doubt that was possible at the live track in NY. Nobody should have that type advantage unless all can have it.

I also remember the days at NY tracks that the Daily Double closed 2 minutes to post for race one. Much bigger crowds back then and no problems or mass complaints.
