It’s silly because there is LIVE racing on.

Any Saturday or any of the other 7 days of the week. The days are all running together

You can watch it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgP1I6VChg8

The graphics are pretty good, but did they bother with the running style of the horses? Whirlaway came from 10-15 lengths back in both the 1941 Derby and Preakness, but they had him in the first flight in this sim.

I did like the fact that Whirlaway gave a solid bump to American Pharoah on the final turn.

Funny thing I just realized. You can watch both live racing and take a couple of minutes and watch a virtual one and, and, wait for it, go back to the live racing. A person can get up and go to the restroom and miss two minutes of live racing and nobody thinks it’s silly.

But you’re right. We were all irrevocably damaged.

Normally we have 10-12 tracks running and 7 of them at the exact same time.
this one was not overlapping anything at OP, so it was pretty easy to watch it for a couple of minutes.

Easier then most any other day.......

Not sure what that has to do with the post. I will say that I did go pee and watched the virtual race and watched Oaklawn. Amazing.
