We have received extraordinary support this year from our horsemen and our horseplayers,but we're starting to see some disturbing trends.” said Meadowlands’ Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir. The first weekend of the month saw the only two $4 million handles of the year in North America, as on Friday (March 3) an industry-best $4,519,050 was put in play, while the next night (Saturday, March 4) saw wagering total $4,062,855. Since that time however the handle has been trending downward as it has not reached $3.2 million since April 1st.Meadowlands handle April 7: $3,071,224.

This is surprising as the Saturday cards are better than the Friday cards.
It was a weather cancellation half way through the card (4/22/23), maybe take a nap now.
