When I frequented DeD years ago, they never started a race on time. When they announced post time, everyone knew they had at least five minutes to get their wagers in. That's if they didn't back the horses out, which happened quite often, adding another 5 or 10 minutes before they were off. I'm sure this was to get more wagers in.
