Monmouth has appx 25 min between races as opposed to 30 min for Belmont.

Why?
Tim Saratoga used to be the worst when they had post time at 1:30.It would drag on forever.I guess it takes time to bring the horses in from the barn,for the valets to clean the jockeys tack and put the lead in the saddle.Who knows why.Just think on Derby day they have minimum of 45 minutes in between races.
