I am watching this too. You would think someone might have tested the thing before the first race.

Finally got horses backed out of the gate....still nada. To fill the void 20 minutes after post time announcer tells people to wager early...as the horses walk in circles waiting for the gate to be fixed.

The horses have already been loaded and backed out twice. They are now going to try again. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
