I'm for it BUT call it what it is. Just a way to shift and maintain or perhaps increase their absurd
'MILK TIME'. They push going to midnight most nights. Alot of it due to these apparently unrealistic
guarantees. Don't think we need to go 10-12 minutes past 'POST TIME' to 'SEND IT IN'. 11.wp

Gabe loves the drag

Pompano(RIP), Chester, Lexington, Hoosier--whatever Gabe can do to delay the races, he is all in

I'm a Prewitt fan on most of his ideas. But don't most tracks drag??? Pretty sure all major harness track do this. Looking at the trends in our Industry betting down at just about every track accept Hoosier where Gabe tookover. Has to say something doesnt it?

The time the race goes off is key to the handle. Especially when other tracks are running at the same time. Gabe's success has always been to monitor all the tracks using many computer screens, when he sees an "open spot when other tracks' races have been run"/THEY GO. It's been one of his keys to success for years.

I like Gabe, he's good for the sport, but wherever he goes the drag is looooooooong. Even with the new starting time, expect an 11:00 pm finish at the earliest.

I like going a couple times a year just to watch in person and of course all of LBJ week..but I hear ya, the drinks and food at home are cheaper and better as well. 1st race went off at 5:42 which is common, 10 or 15 minutes after post time, but the 2nd race didn't go off until 6:11..lol
