I think its funny that the Illinois Derby is held in such high standard that the Wood should delay their post, how about Hawthorne once they were late they might have delayed a few minutes since they were not on time to begin with?

I happen to agree, basically, with the orginal poster's contention that these races should not be run with any overlap. However, a serious attempt was made to do this yesterday, and the Illinois Derby going off four full minutes after their scheduled post caused yesterday's situation. Being that the Wood had already been moved to accomodate things, I just don't know what more we could have done, especially in light of our live broadcast encompassing two races. I wish the Illinois Derby had gone off in time for both races to have been seen live by any single viewer.
