start times as follows
4:32 pontefract - 2m 6f
4:38 ffos las 2m4f
4:55 yarmouth 7f

there is a 17 minute gap between ffos las and yarmouth . i understand that epsom was abandoned which would have run at 4:45 , but why can't the starters be on a WhatsApp group , or watch the racing on their phone so they can hold back the start of the ffos las race 2 minutes . it really is not that difficult.

am i missing something ?

2:33 perth, 7 minutes later 2:40 at salisbury , 15 minutes later 2:55 york .

salisbury goes off before perth finishes

there was plenty of time for salisbury to wait until perth finished

with york having 35min gaps there's no need for non-standard race times

what i don't understand is why  someone at the BHA isn't in charge and monitor the situation

all the starters could be on a whatsapp/telegram group or something and be told to wait 2 minutes, or that it is ok to go off on time. ffs even just have ATR or RUK on their phone and monitor it . when there is not much time between races it's understandable, but in this situation above it is clueless

This happens every day, it's even worse on the dogs. Races being delayed purely so they clash with other races. It's not an accident, it's obviously done on purpose.

Indeed, it happened yesterday, all bloody day!
