240k matched at the off in WRD and another nice move pre off :)
Nice one, WRD's been good tonight. :)
If your using live pics has there been a noticable decline in the crowds trackside these last 2 weeks?

Giving the situation the US is facing these next few weeks im really surprised they still have racing going

I have SSR on so I know when a race is imminent but don't really watch. I'm not even sure if there is a crowd now.

Given the president they've got, nothing that happens over there would surprise me. Bet McDonald's hasn't closed, there'd be rioting on the streets by now. :lol:

:shock: Looks like the US have switched to standard times - 15 minutes between each race!

Sam Houston's the most reliable race track, always off about 25 minutes late. :)

Its at least useful to remember that BF live video doesn't require a bet on US races and you can watch the long prerace build up and allowing for feed delay you should be able to close out sensibly.

Not that I was watching, but SSR decided to have a commercial break with about two furlongs to go in the last at WRD. I looked at the clock and it was only 21:53.

I'm well used to the fact that they switch from US to Australia at 2 a.m. precisely regardless of the stage of the race, but there's no excuse for switching 7 minutes early just to show a Nicky Henderson documentary that's probably already been shown 20 times. :?

fantastic suspending on those remington park races, maybe better not offer in running on 2 furlong races in the first place, not suspending one race before the 1 furlong post 3 or 4 days in a row lol

10-race card at Will Roger Downs 19:15 - 23:45. Standard half-hourly race times - won't go off on time but at least you can do other things in between. :)
