Is there any reason to have any faith in the timer for these races?

I'm a fan of this.. Didn't bet but watched most of the card and it was refreshing to see a turf course that didn't resemble Tom Coughlin's face.

Yes, Trackus.

Same with Tampa.

Does Equibase now use the Trakus charts, or do the two report different times?

They report different times.

I'm going to watch and note the reported differences between all distances.

For instance -- if there's 15 races at 8f on the turf -- I'll have the difference between the two timers. Same at 9f on the turf etc.

The silks are ridiculous.

A little extreme. They are simply unneeded. US bettors quit caring about silks when unfied saddle blanket coloring came in. Use on or the other, but not both.

That will be quite the project with the plethora of rail positions used.
