Also, it has to do with the betting machines. Alot of times, they may only be able to handle one 'extra' bet in a particular race over what they're normally programmed for.
Arlington's a good example of it this year.... they added a pick 6 this year.... and due to that they switched the mid-day double from race 5 to race 4, so that they don't start the same race.
