While they are at it they need to get a better Morning Line maker.

GP 7th winner goes of at 5/2 of a 15-1 Morning line... How can someone be so far wrong? How often do you see something like that happen in New York or So Cal? I can't remember an instance

Green Gratto on Monday was similar. But yes, it is so much more rare in NY.

Green Gratto going of at 5/2 was a result of the other speed in the race scratching and the bias that was going on at the Big A.

It's clear that Post Time is merely a suggestion. Gives everyone plenty of time to order a Mojito or a Caipirinha at the Tiki Bar on the track apron at the eighth pole before placing a bet. Notice how horses always wait in front of the Tiki Bar for 2 turn races.
