We also moved our Wood post a number of minutes so that there would not be an overlap with the Illinois Derby. However, in doing so, we left ourselves very little room to show the Carter should there be any delay in either the Wood being run, being made official, or the Carter being run. Had the Illinois Derby gone off at the scheduled post time, there would not have been a problem, but if we had waited for their " new " post time we might well have run into one. We could have scheduled things differently, and run the Wood earlier, I suppose, if we knew the Illinois Derby was going to break at 5:18, but that was not the scheduled time we were working with.

Instead of pointing fingers, and laying blame, maybe you need to think this entire thing through again.

Not looking for a fight. As a customer I had an issue, raised it and the responses I got kind of disappointed me...

PS.. If I wanted a fight, I am in the wrong bar and picking it with the wrong people....
