I Can't Take it Anymore
« on: August 22, 2019, 09:35:12 PM »
almost done with racing. Watching  drivers back down second quarters, esp at Yonkers racing is nauseating.
So----I know that there are a lotta reasons why this wouldn't work, but how about a rule that the second quarter can be no more than one second slower than the first?
I the best interest of mainting the pace of the race?
Thoughts?

sounds like you are frustrated because your closers are having difficulties gaining ground in the lane

staring at fractions won’t help

IN THOSE SHITTY 8 HORSE OR LESS FIELDS THEY SHOULD MAKE IT A RULE THEY MUST BE 4IN, 4 OUT BY THE TIME THEY CROSS THE WIRE AT THE 1/2. NO ONE PULLS THERE UNTIL WAY TOO LATE AND THE 6TH, 7TH, 8TH HORSES HAVE NO SHOT.

YONKERS ALWAYS WAS A DUMP AND STILL IS IMO.

Have more aggressive drivers. If the pace is slow pull the horse and go around. It's that simple. I know a lot people bash Merriman and Wrenn at Northfield (I realize they usually get first choice on the best horses) but they are either on the lead or they pull and maybe get parked for a half mile or more but they give their horses a chance to win. If the horse has enough it wins if not it wasn't going to win anyway.

Agreed, more than 2 seconds slower than the first qtr should be a fine.

Change drivers percentages to 2% at high purse tracks   They won’t just wait for right spot then! Drivers these days have no competitive spirit they just count there

They should strap thoroughbreds to the sulky, would be much more exciting.

 my 5% from Yonkers ends up being much more than the 2-3 other tracks we race at, every month...
