Post time is to get the noobs watching. All real handicappers know exactly when the race will go off

Waples made most of his money as a driver based on slots purses. He has no clue how to generate handle. Back when on track handle was purse money, it was a regular occurrence that the starter told drivers take a turn long lines at windows

Question for all you geniuses. If you had a taco stand that closed at 5pm. Looked out at 4:55 and had 50 people in line, would you close and say sorry we don’t want your money?

Post Time and Off Time are two separate things, though someone somewhere fucked that up.

Post Time is the time of the Post Parade.

at Mohawk and M1--post time is 20 minutes before race 1


 zero minutes till post for 10 minutes is the standard for most other races

if there is a large mandatory pool--then that adds another 5 minutes or more
