Whether it's Saratoga, Belmont, Aqueduct, Mars, or Jupiter I'm still gonna see people at a few windows when that bell sounds.
Not so fast. When I'm at Saratoga, many times I watch the horses walk past me by the clubhouse hedge. After they pass I make my final decision as to what I'm playing. Most of the time I use the SAM Machine in the Jim Dandy Bar, therefore I have time to make my wager and still have time to get to the rail. Many people wait longer. It's not the fault of the track. When you have 25,000 people at a track, a large % of those people are inexperienced, dumb, stupid, etc. when it comes to placing a bet. That slows lines down.
