Delmar and Emerald still not final for Sunday

What is so hard about getting post positions and morning lines up at least 24 hours in advance?

good question. I really think it should be mandatory to do entries 72 hours out instead of 48 hours, but thats just me

Still trying to convince trainers to enter?:rolleyes:

They are on Martian Time in California.

Delmar was finally up around 3pm PDT. They had the entries, just seems to take them forever to go final.

No excuse not to have this stuff out at least 48 hours in advance. There are a few tracks that have it 4 days in advance :bang:

And, we're lucky to get the scratchs before the 2nd race.

Here's another one that gripes me. Why do they keep on calling it dirt in the race conditions:

1 1/4 Mile Dirt. Dirt? I wish it was dirt.

I wonder if Best Pal, Missionary Ridge, etc., would have won on this other than dirt surface?

And, we're lucky to get the scratchs before the 2nd race.

And we're lucky to get the final odds by the time they hit the 1/16th pole.
