It use to be Maryland law , thoroughbred racing day time, standardbred racing at night. Not sure if it has ever changed . However laurel doesn't have lights to race at night
At Laurel they normally run Thursday-Sunday so that would cover day working. Since it is daylight savings time the post time is later 1:00ish so they run a little later.
Because the horses are sleepy.
