Totally wrong as usual.

The electric timer is specifically NOT mounted on the rail ... because horses bang into the rail all the time ... and that would trigger a false reading. The timers are on separate mounts which are sunk into concrete for stability.

Another useless post from a ditsy dame.

Name calling...tsk, tsk.

Are you saying that no track in america has a rail mounted electric timer? Now, do your research before you answer so that you arent made to look the fool again.
