How do you think trainers would react to this new idea?

Are you running the rest of the card with the normal times in between races or will the entire card be run like this?

Whatever they want but I would assume that normal time would be ok as I want to-get this in while I have fresh eyeballs manythat are not horse racing fans but will get in for the action.Tell us all why it is a horrible idea?

I just asked you questions Jim. I didn’t give my opinion on if it’s a good idea or not.

Logistically it could never happen. If you run the 1st at 11:30, it’d be impossible to run the 2nd 20 minutes later. By the time the race is run, made official, pictures taken, jocks get back to room, etc it wouldn’t leave them enough time to get back to paddock to get a leg up again.

Trainers and owners won’t want to run in these races as the horses running in them will be at a disadvantage. They won’t get a proper warm up or at least the same kind of warm up they are used to.

I get where you’re going with it…I just don’t see how it could work time wise.

Ok I hear you but do they not speed up when weather is imminent? You get what I am trying to do... Start at 11?... Heavily advertise this with Fanduel and Draftkings. I think you easily double that guarantee.
