Is it really a ploy of the track or is this problem a product of them having to actually deal with full fields on a consistent basis for the first time? Obviously it takes longer to get 12 horses to the/in the gate as opposed to the 5 horses that they have had to deal with in the past. Just seems like there is a small adjustment that has to be made to get things right.

Tampa has admitted to delaying races on purpose to avoid post times in NY or Gulfstream. It makes sense for them to do that, not sure why Mth would do it other than milking the $$.

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other because I'm not as talented as Fats and usually keep my wagering to two tracks at a time, max (usually just one).

Horseys should be taught to approach and load in dressage style


In this way, it would vanish all problems as the loading would be neat and orderly...and pretty..
