You would think the smaller tracks would schedule their races 10-12 minutes after the larger tracks, and monitor/adjust during the course of the day.
MTH and GP are both trying to stay off SAR. MTH is on TVG, so is SAR, so it's more critical for MTH to stay clear... but yes, in general, most tracks clearly don't give a hoot.

That makes sense re: MTH/SAR. I guess I'd rather see MTH overlap with GP than SAR. Good job calling MTH by the way! I was skeptical after Collmus left after ~ 20 years

No GREAT job calling. Never could cash a ticket at Mth over the years but this year BINGO. Has to be the caller.
