The only good thing about Gulfstream is that when it's post time I know I have plenty of time to put my wash into the dryer and not miss the race.

I don’t find the results believable. Due to overlapping post times people are sitting on enough capital to generate $400 million in churn? Annual handle is around $11 billion. I don’t find this believable. Also agree w other posters re competitive aspects. Maybe if the NBA and NHL better coordinated their game schedules, viewership would increase for both of them, but they (arguably) compete for the same viewers so why would they be compelled to coordinate? They may but they aren’t compelled to do so. And there are those pesky anti trust laws that might get in the way.

Why will it never happen?
Because the tracks do not care.
NYRA is never going to wait on a race at another track, even if it is the Big one at Mountainaire - which should be run at NIGHT anyway!

It makes no sense to gt them talking when no one can get them thinking.

Racing is a minor league business at very level.
Even the Great Saratoga took back seat to College softball at ESPN.
