GP Post Time, is it just me ?

[Flatterer]

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.

They use post times like a dog track uses post times. I know it drives me crazy.
TVG has the real post times so when I'm watching them it's easier. Yesterday the official post time of the last race was down to 0 and TVG said the race would go off in 7 minutes and that's exactly what happened

Noticed the same thing. Getting very, very annoying. It's almost as if the shot callers of horse racing think they can alienate their base and be ok. Problem is the base is all they have. Then when the base is trying to get others involved in horse racing, it's tough to justify this nonsense. People don't want to wait and wait for one race. This isn't the 80's.
