Most tracks these days have off times 5 or more mins past the listed post time. They do it deliberately to allow more money to be bet.
ESPB website had post time at 6:24 P.M. EST all day long, complain to them.
I have no clue who "ESPB" is. I've been betting horses since before most people here were born. These days I print my info from Brisnet.
Equibase, which is the official database for the industry, also has the Post Time as 6:34. (See here)
But thanks for playing.

Good grief, it was a typo, ESPN. You have way too much time on your hands, I was just stating what I saw on their website at the time.
Only winning bet I made out of about $50 worth, half of them $1 superfectas, was a $4 exacta on 18/10, which paid $34,30 for $1. So I wound up ahead about $75-80. Better than nothing. I had win bets on FROSTED and FIRING LINE.
That’s the only bet I won as well - the $2 exacta. Broke even on the day though. Actually won more money phoning in dog bets (my buddy was at the Kennel Club) earlier in the day.
Greyhounds????Are there still greyhound tracks? In Phoenix 33 years ago I used to go to Greyhound Park for the first year we lived there. Made a little money just by betting on the rail dog. It was a very funny sight: before every race, the dog handlers, looking very serious and dressed in blue jumpsuits, would come out with each of their dogs on leashes, and stand up on a little hill by the rail fence, separated from the spectators, under harsh spotlights,and all this while a loud sprightly instrumental version of the theme from “Bridge on the River Kwai” played on the P.A. system. You had to be there I guess but it was weird.
