Betting on The Big M’s live product was $3,621,862, extending the track’s streak of consecutive Friday and Saturday night programs with $3 million handles to 34.
“That ($3.6 million) is a huge number,” said Settlemoir. “Equally important is that on Saturday, on-track handle was also up significantly over last year. That tells me that dragging the post times as long as possible is really good for our bottom line."
