If NYRA starts the card before Del Mar, how exactly are they starting the races on top of Del Mar, why isn't it the other way around?

Or did Del Mar schedule their 3 races on top of NYRA?

You realize that trying to hold off starting races around other racetracks is not as easy as you are implying it is, Hammerle has talked about this a number of times on Steve's show. Even if you try to do it unforseen delays can place races on top of one another.

This is another ludicrous complaint about nothing.

.....I know!!!!!! It was really interfering with my Hoosier Park action too. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. Alan, why dont you go do it. Now, I know we might not hear from you for several weeks. We will all be waiting for your return.

I'm guessing neither coast really gives a $hit about what the other is doing.

Saratoga takes way too long time between races. Why not just adopt the Belmont post times?

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?

Your incessant bitching is getting very, very old. Stay at Pace Advantage for a while.

These are the post time they should use. But I assume for greed, they won't.

I'm pretty close to making an "Alan's complaints" thread and consolidating everything into there. It will probably be 400 pages long.
