Speed be damned!
I would try to maintain a more forgiving cushion.
No more rock hard speedway.
If you want a fast record, go elsewhere.
Let's try and save some knees,pastern, and sesamoid bones.

I have done my share of talking on the track. The vast majority of it has nothing to do with the upcoming race. You may well be talking about the gal hanging over the fence by the finish wire, but talking before the race looks bad.
I once as a teenager told the guy that was to follow me out behind the gate from the back tier that " This horse makes bad breaks".
Rodney Rice spit some tobacca juice and mumbled" Just remember kid I will be on the top and you will be on the bottom".

No! Crucifixition with nails, not rope. Possibly hanging with baling wire so you got to watch them mess themselves.

Sounds great, just trying to keep to the typical 20 minutes in-between races! Lob off 6-7 heads, have a beer and hot dog and move onto race 2. ngc3
Welcome back Kooter I thought we lost you to old, famous horses, I was ready to hop in my Delorean and bring you back. ;D

You are so right but it will never happen, i.e. Ron Burke
-
Perhaps it would be wise to just due away with 1/2 mile tracks altogether. it is so easy to get things done on 1/2 milers. Another thought that can never happen is to draw for drivers rather than allowing the drivers to make self serving choices thus allowing the best horses to always have the best driver with the best post which always = $2.60 payout. Of course trainers would throw a fit and that idea would be tabled rather quickly but it is fun to think about. I'm kinda' sick of watching Bartlett or Brennen roaring these 2/5s around Yonkers. Key word here is watching. Track is basically unbetable unless you are great at exactas.
Just a bad thought!
-
No need to list stable name, and trainer. You had to have a responsible trainer listed or be there yourself. Didn't matter if it was grand circuit or overnights. It also meant the % went right to the stable, not one of the
Vaughns or Jack Smith. Now the trainer only has to have someone sign in now. In the winter I would leave horses up north in the winter, I had a deal to split the % only way I got it was to do the stable name thing.

Good idea. Like when they strapped little monkeys on top of greyhounds at the dog track.

Freestate tried drawing starting positions after the post parade and then announced them to patrons and drivers.

Tough to bet a Daily Double or a pick 4, right?

If I owned a track, I'd sell it as fast as I could. Too much bullshit. Invest in THC stores, a lot of bullshit but you can make your money back and not have to listen to all the pissy bettors or horseman.

For the benefit of the on track better and the state vet.
You most warm up a mile in 2:40 or faster.
Back in my Pompano Park days my wagering (I didn't say gambling) buddies and I would never ever bet a horse we didn't see warm up a sound good mile.
There was an elderly couple that kept notebooks on when, how fast, and who warmed up each horse.
They each had two/three stop watches and would time every warm up last guarter. We could go over and ask them how fast did this horse warm up last week when he got beat, how fast 2 weeks ago when he won, and how fast tonight.
They also kept notebooks on how different stables warmed up their horses. Did the 2nd trainer, the head dr/tr, or a groom do the warm up, and could you get a clue from that.
Did they warm up freelegged to a jog cart or full racing gear.
Anything out of the usual he would know about, and what if anything that meant for tonight.
.
I don't know how many state vets still do it, but some would mark off on their program each horse as it warmed up. If the horse didn't look ok, you got a visit when you came in.
If I was still wagering, I would want to see warm ups. At lease know the state vet was watching.
