Saratoga takes way too long time between races. Why not just adopt the Belmont post times?

The 10th race tomorrow will go off at 5:45 pm. The 10th race during Belmont's fall meet on an average Sat. last year went off at 5:47pm.

An extra minute per race... that's brutal. How we will ever deal?

No wonder why the featured race is often relegated to taped status on TVG.

I think they should move that last race to 6:03 pm and avoid the taped status? What do you think?

Or maybe TVG should show that race live rather than some crappy claimer at Del Mar.

Your incessant bitching is getting very, very old. Stay at Pace Advantage for a while.

These are the post time they should use. But I assume for greed, they won't.

I'm pretty close to making an "Alan's complaints" thread and consolidating everything into there. It will probably be 400 pages long.

Why is the Sword Dancer scheduled the same day as the Arlington Million? Is this also hard to avoid scheduling simmilar grade 1 races on the same day?

good point about the sword dancer/arl million, only one of many times that similar races vie with each other for entrants and attention. it's too bad that racing still competes with itself, instead of working together to compete against other interests.
