Why do they do this?

The 10th race tomorrow will go off at 5:45 pm. The 10th race during Belmont's fall meet on an average Sat. last year went off at 5:47pm.

An extra minute per race... that's brutal. How we will ever deal?

No wonder why the featured race is often relegated to taped status on TVG.

I think they should move that last race to 6:03 pm and avoid the taped status? What do you think?

I think Alan should be appointed Horse Racing Post Time Czar where the tracks have no power to overrule his decisions as to what time any track can run a race.

What happened to your note about 10 race cards? I was writing a response?

Or maybe TVG should show that race live rather than some crappy claimer at Del Mar.
