Default Why do they do this?

NYRA once again schedule last 3 races right on top of Del Mar.

If NYRA starts the card before Del Mar, how exactly are they starting the races on top of Del Mar, why isn't it the other way around?

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.

Or did Del Mar schedule their 3 races on top of NYRA?

You realize that trying to hold off starting races around other racetracks is not as easy as you are implying it is, Hammerle has talked about this a number of times on Steve's show. Even if you try to do it unforseen delays can place races on top of one another.

This is another ludicrous complaint about nothing.

I'm guessing neither coast really gives a $hit about what the other is doing.
