As for the "two-at-once" races, I thonk it's a terrible idea. They'll have to add to the gate crew(s), use two starters and I have no idea how they will use the patrol cameras. And what happens of a horse gets loose in the post parade ?

Love Calder's innovation. It likely will go well. But I'd rather not see them do this.

And waht about jocks? You are going to need 20-24 riders and there aren't that many talented riders down there as it is!! Whose going to ride these horses? Exercise boys? ten pound bugs?
I don't like it, not a bit. And how will they call the races? Sounds like a cluster**** to me.
