Agree with you Shaun but even if other states follow suit it only works and benefits (in my view) for the following scenarios:

- Non-major race days where the gaps are large between races (i.e. not wednesday and saturday in particular)
- mainly favors patrons at the venues and even then it only favors those betting solely on the venue they are at.

Anyone trying to bet on all or multiple venues on a saturday with all meetings having 30 minute gaps would go nutty without a bot. As it stands currently you generally have about 3-4 minutes between races on saturdays so to shorten that further seems crazy to me.
