US racing

[Iron]

I was just trading the 19:39 Beulah, and was a bit surprised when it was suspended at 19:35 (and not reopened!).

I knew that US races sometimes suspended a bit before the off - possibly due to the TV delay - but not 4 minutes before the off!

What the heck is going on with that?!?

PS I'm pleased to say that my bet won, so that has reduced my annoyance a bit!

US Racing works on a MTP system (minutes to post)
so you need to keep an eye on that,
the race times are just a very rough guide.

It actually quite a good system when you get used to it.

Thanks Freddy.

If I'm trading a US race, how can I tell when the race is going to start?

Thanks Freddy

BTW, are the US races generally ran at a faster speed than ours over the same distances? They seem to be, although maybe that's just the effect of the camera.

I've No idea Jeff my interest in horse racing ends the moment the race starts
