Yesterday, the horses in the 9th race didn't get to the gate until 9 minutes after the clock hit 0 minutes to post. And when they finally did, I noticed that the horses at Oaklawn were just entering their gate (Oaklawn was on time, as usual). I don't know if that was a coincidence but it almost seems like GP planned it that way. Regardless, delaying their starts until well after the 0 minutes to post time is the main reason why I won't play there anymore.

Gulfstream does it too often for it to be a coincidence. They even did it on World Cup day with Meydan.
