Title: New seminar start time
Post by: TGJB on September 02, 2016, 12:28:15 PM
Evidently it\'s a 12:30 first post this weekend, so we\'ll move up the seminars at Siros to 11:00.

Last post (the 12TH!) is 6:55. What are these people doing?

I\'m from the Albany area. In the old days (for me, late-70s) I recall 1:30 pm first post and 30 minutes between races. That was when they were still saddling them under the trees.

They should chop the meeting to 30 days and run 5 days a week IMHO.

I hear that 5 day thing a lot. If you live in Albany you can go five days if you like. When you\'re not home and paying rent to see the races for a two week timeframe, Tuesday\'s at the Victoria Pool is enough. I remember one year being no days off, drinking heavily back then but pretty sure.
For those on vacation, like myself, hopefully it stays 6.
Back to the seven cards a week, it might have been during the August only days of 4 weeks.
