Title: NYRA Question
Post by: BitPlayer on August 16, 2010, 07:37:43 AM
Anyone know why NYRA runs their post parade (at least the one shown on TVG) from right to left, so that the pony obscures the runner?  It doesn\'t make any difference to me, but my Dad likes to look at them in the post parade, and, given his results doing so, I\'m not arguing.

They usually have them go right to left up to the eighth pole and then they turn them around and go left to right unobstructed by the pony.  TVG is just showing you the initial walkout.
