Hollywood Casino at The Meadows will become the first harness track in North America to offer live video of the post position draw for each race card with a dedicated YouTube channel.
“We are pleased to offer this service to our owners, trainers and the general public,” said Michael Carter, Meadows director of racing. “Years ago, everyone could come to the race office and watch the ‘shaking of the pills’ for the draw, but as with most things these days, everything is now done on the computer. This improves transparency and allows so many more people to see the process take place as it happens. Plus, now you won’t have to wait for the full draw results to be posted and you can find out a lot more quickly where your horse has drawn.
“We’ve been testing it, but it will be official on Friday (April 10) when we draw for Wednesday (April 15),” added Carter.
Viewers on the Meadows YouTube channel will be able to see in real time the actual post positions assigned randomly by the United States Trotting Association’s eTrack Racetrack Office System.
While the exact time of the draw can vary by day based on the review and verification of entries for each race card, viewers can subscribe to the channel to receive an alert on draw days when the live video begins.
The Meadows Post Position YouTube channel can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@TheMeadowsRacing.

Long overdue. While it's different because of the process, and jockey agents, LOL, the t-breds have been doing this since the pandemic. But even before that, the t-bred draw was always front and center. Clockers would show up, professional handicappers, sometimes some owners, and others.

73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2 look at the draws!! 5-6-7 horse fields. No one enters because the whole draw is fixed. Very easy to see how the game works there. Way too clicky for newbies unless you take nothing but power there. Hopefully this helps them fill races and be more fair!

Idiots will no longer be able to claim its rigged! ngc3 ngc3 ngc3

Most of those 5 and 6 horse fields are late closers that were split into 2 divisions. Try again.

Lumpy live and in person

Since everything is in place, then use it to broadcast live footage if multiple claims are entered too.

This is definitely a step in the right direction -- showing all horses entered, dates, reason excused, AE, handicap positions, but sound would help as some of the moves (excused, dates, etc.) are not totally clear without a verbal explanation.

I agree that the explanations should be voiced. I think that when they have more entries than needed, they will eliminate a horse by date if the trainer has 2 entered.

Has anyone watched yet? I’m curious what it looks like watching a computer do the draw. Spinning circle in middle of screen?

I have watched it. Saw my horse draw the 4 hole Fri. Once they have the entrants listed, it’s a split second after they click DRAW until the horses are listed in post position order.

Do you think there is any way you could tell if the draw was “fixed” like some claim on here?

If by a long shot there is manipulation, it's definitely not at the race office level. The draw outcome is is now certified to be nothing more than " THE LUCK OF THE DRAW" IMO!🤞🤞🤞

Always has been. Before the computer draws the only ones complaining were the ones to lazy to go witness the draw. Sadly now we got $2 bettors that ain’t smart enough to bypass a race complaining on the internet

It is called work. No horses on track at YR, M1, PCD, etc...
The $2 bettors use to be plentiful & drive handle.
You sound like an snob....SMH
