The benefit of the 11-11:30 draw is of course that the complete overnight & PP's for the Derby Day card will be available much earlier in the afternoon as a result. Churchill will likely be moving these draws to Monday & Tuesday next year providing extra day for capping of the weekend.

I'll carry the Oaks Draw audio Tuesday, but won't cover it the way we'll cover the Derby Draw.

Good move. It's a lot to get through in what amounts to 40 hours between Wednesday when the card comes out and first post for Oaks day.
