Then why aren't they shut off a couple of minutes before post? Everyone is complaining about the late odds changes and so many 1/5 and 1/9.s There has to be more to the story

they (CAW) accounts for 50% or more of the handle and they bet after the bell

race 3--0 minutes till post started at 7:14

race went off at 7:21

Savior is very serious about doing it ngc3

It was stated on the broadcast last night the reason for doing this is they want everyone out of the building and going home or somewhere else by 11pm.

race 14 went off at 11:29pm

i guess that is considered trying

all night it was 0 minutes till post for 7 minutes--i think that is an improvement

why have a press release when it is all lies?

They said 11pm evacuation is the goal after the gradual reduction in drag over the next few weeks. Not last night. Something about
letting  younger people get out of there earlier to allow them to go somewhere else at 11pm.

ok thanks for the update tmbz1

they are setting lofty goals since they have been obsessed with dragging and handle for a long time

according to their own business model-eliminating the drag will adversely affect handle

since half the money doesnt care-maybe they are deciding to try

i doubt we see any race 14's going off before 11pm-but we shall see

Why do they need a gradual drag. Just post parade 7 minutes to post and race at zero. That’s the goal in 3 weeks. Do it now what is the purpose of doing it 2 minutes next week 3 minutes next just do it

they dont need a gradual drag-shows how out of touch they are with the bettors

Jason and Savior are conflicted as usual

similar to when they announced matinee cards then changed their minds
