Why?
« on: May 19, 2023, 06:56:48 PM »
Why do some tracks show miles per hour along with the normal fractional times? Completely useless info for horse racing and handicapping. So until they mix nascar and horse racing together please stop with the mph readings!

Good question, we all understand fractions, final times, and using Hoosier Park as an example, I did call and was transferred to an Emily, in marketing for the track, I left a vm to please respond with the answer - why they do it.  From my perspective high 20's mid thirties is not very impressive in mph!  Thanks Easy Irv!   ;D

New people to the game might wonder how fast they are going.  I'd like to see top speed on some leavers.  It doesn't hurt anything.  Find something else to bitch about!  Starting to sound like the crybaby horsemen when the handouts get lower!  tmbz1

15za.bd Harness Racer's was the WINNING ANSWER as I suspected!  15za.bd

Emily called back from Hoosier Park and explained that the GM meets with all the staff at times, gathers feedback and looks to make thoughtful implementations.  So they got a new graphics package for televised racing because many customers to the casino who were new fans of harness racing wanted to know in MPH how fast the horses were going and were the opposite of us more experienced and didn't understand fractions as well.

Thank you EMILY, she's awesome, such great professional, friendly people I've spoken to racing at or working out of Hoosier Park this last week, and previous weeks too.  Coincidentally I spoke to her cousin this week, Tyler George LOL!!   ;D

It is a little unique to show MPH, but as its already been said here. It is to promote speed for the non-betting, or slightly inclined to bet crowd.  Not really a bad thing.
