Is 6:40 really that much later than 6:15 or 6:20? Really, what's the big deal?

And getting out of Belmont would be a pain no matter what time the Belmont and last race went off, so I'm not sure what you want them to do about that.

We're four days away from a Triple Crown possibility, and you're griping about post time for the Stakes being 20 minutes late?
Great, so there is only 40 minutes between races. That is better than 1 hour. Why does the Belmont need to go off at 640? The Breeders Cup Classic doesn't go off that late. I'm not condoning that the Derby is at 615, I'm saying 640 is way, way too late. 615 is just way too late. Why can't they start racing at 11:00am and have the Belmont go off at 530-540? What would be the big deal? Does the feature race at Belmont usually go off at 640? Does any NYRA feature race go off at 640? The Travers goes off at 540, right?
