I was interested in races from Gulfstream and elsewhere that were going at the same time... I watched them later. You have to see it live or somehow the result is going to be different? Hawthorne got off late. It happens. Had there been a National tie-in broadcast, they could have balanced the starts differently. Otherwise, EVERYONE STICKS TO THEIR SCHEDULE to make it most easy to accomodate widely at OTB's and on broadcasting entities.

But if you are at an OTB or at home trying to bet it sucks. If tracks, half of which have the same owners, staggered their 1st post times ,races would not run into each other. It's five minutes, 10 tops. They can't afford that?
