It would be better if they put the actual silks like they did in the first race, and put the odds in between instead of on top. Alot going on.

Apparently that's something that will gradually be worked in as the meet progresses. They will only have the silks in for Races 1,5,9 today. When they don't have the silks in the database they should just take them down because it's annoying.

Is there any reason to have any faith in the timer for these races?

I'm a fan of this.. Didn't bet but watched most of the card and it was refreshing to see a turf course that didn't resemble Tom Coughlin's face.

Yes, Trackus.

Same with Tampa.

Does Equibase now use the Trakus charts, or do the two report different times?

They report different times.

I'm going to watch and note the reported differences between all distances.

For instance -- if there's 15 races at 8f on the turf -- I'll have the difference between the two timers. Same at 9f on the turf etc.

The silks are ridiculous.

That will be quite the project with the plethora of rail positions used.
