Among the 10 or so ideas that the Dist. 1 board reviewed last w/e is a suggestion to allow horses that draw outside to draw inside in their next race from a random draw for post 1 - 5. Conversely, horses w/ an inside post will draw outside in their next race from a random draw for posts 6 - 10. About time there's a procedure in place instead of constantly penalizing horses by using the lo-tech / no-tech algorithm program of the USTA. It's certain that horses on the outside are dramatically disadvantaged. If there's a genuine basis to work toward fairness for all of the horses, well - why do they even need to debate it? This logic is so overdue that it really oughta be set to motion tomorrow !
The reason it is brought up is the fact that many including myself think that at times, the draw is rigged. Ask some people that race at Yonkers and get back to me.
Caddy ... With your data from a year, what was the final % 1 - 5 vs 6 - 10 ?
i was at a district meetingwe shot this down faster than any other rule change talked aboutin face we went as far as to ask why people still even brought it up its ridicoulous
if you're so inflexible and disinterested on debating toward the betterment of the sport -- you're not doing a representative job. So ? why bother to not serve? You call RIDICULOUS <> what's ridiculous is continuing a flawed system ... and it is flawed .. if you don't understand technology - or - have some craving to cling to an out of date methodology -- your time has passed by
Remember you heard it here first. Why not have everyone bet via a program number (chosen alphabetically maybe). Freeze betting. Let actual final odds appear on the tote so no one can accuse of past posting. THEN have an open draw in front of the public for post positions, and then start the race.
Seriously, did you not get to lead the line enough in elementary school? It all evens outWhy create a problem where their isnt one?
pretty sure any owner or trainer can go watch any draw live if they wish?
