2020 Kentucky Derby

yup once a yr.. but they use the other gate once a yr too. the issue is that the timing of the gates will be more consistent i would expect and it will be easier to pull out of the way with less pieces that have to work together
 
I saw that. Long overdue, Always such a mess when the horses are starting in the first couple spots of auxillary gate, so many times the break dead left.

What's funny is I couldn't tell you the name of the horse that was put up as the winner last year but certainly remember Max Security
 
thats why i wondered why it took so long to fix.. i mean really what could it cost 1-200k?

But they don't have to pull it away during the race, as the race starts in a chute. It will be a bit more fair for horses that previously would be breaking from the stalls where two gates come together.
 
i didnt think they started on a chute. its in the corner of the straight away i thought.
