You're not the only one that thinks that about Joke.
Practical Joke in the mile is frustrating, "the mile" is frustrating, perhaps around 1 turn but these phony mile races at tracks that arent big enough to run a 1 turn mile are silly. The whole year at so many tracks they run 1 1/16, 1 70yd , 1 40yds they get to Nov and they just start the clock 12 seconds into the actual race. I really dont get why its necessary to deceive people

I 100% disagree, but maybe thats because a mile has always been two turns that the tracks I have played.
