You can add Irvine to that list.
Just a couple of notes,
All these changes to place between the 1st and 2nd races which turned out to be 40 minutes, no explanation was given why.
As late as the sixth race (two hours after the first race ended) horses were coming on the track for the post parade and scroll at the bottom of the screen still listed two of the drivers as TBA. One was finally changed during the post parade the other while the horse was scoring down. It's probably not a surprise that the handle for this race was $57000 less than the race before it and $42000 less than the race after it.
I think Northfield really dropped the ball tonight, with The Meadowlands cancelled they pretty much had the online betting community to themselves and all they did was give people a reason not to bet. If harness racing is going to survive the racetracks need to do better.
End of rant.
