Yes and yes - I've been going to bed really early and forgot again, and only just got home.

Is it just me or is the time until post time getting longer? It was two minutes to go and now it's five? :shock:

The suspense is killing me on some of the stakes races..... :D

when results time comes people get excited and start clicking and refreshing eager to see what they've done and it slows the servers down because there's so much activity at one time, if you notice this happens almost every results night. I generally wait until about 10-15mins after results so I won't be adding to the interference

It counts down, 2 mins to go, 1 min to go, and when it finally reaches 0, it starts processing the info...
While its processing, the timer now goes back up again. It still says xx mins to go, but it really means xx mins past time.
It usually takes about 5-6-7 mins to process the results before they are released.
