In the scope of things, that number is not good
To all of the doubters here, the proof is in the results. Total handle--------$5,051,261.00!----------last year, the same night, the handles was only $2,413,614.
HOW LOW WILL THIS WEEKS HANDLE PLUMMET, WILL THE GURAL ASS KISSERS UNION BE ABLE TO COME EVEN CLOSE TO LAST WEEKS PHONY NUMBER? I SAY NO. ANYTHING LESS THAN 7 MILLION IS A COMPLETE FAILURE AS LAST WEEKS IMEPETUS WILL HAVE BEEN WASTED. NOW I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN PLANNING THEIR EXCUSES FOR A WEEK NOW... CHEAP CARD.... LATE IN THE MONTH... SPORTS BETTING HAS BASEBALL TO TAKE FROM RACING... DID THEY ENTICE ANYONE TO BET THIS WEEK OR WAS IT A ONE AND DONE?
Total handle was $2,759,620.00 with 13 races. Last year with 14 races the handle was 2,480,291. 16W's skull is full of obsession. Where does he come up with $7 million this weekend?
16W lives in an alternate reality. When did a followup weekend to a major stakes weekend not drop off? Does Churchill downs do the same handle the weekend after the Kentucky Derby? Last night did $100,000 MORE than last year did. In addition, you seem to forget that this year there is basically ZERO on track handle due to the virus. The PACE night usually gets around 10,000 people and I always go so I can tell you that personally. At a low $50.00 per person per night betting, that took away around Half a million in handle for the PACE night last week. In addition, the Hambletonian usually gets 15,000-20,000 people on track, which would add and additional $750,000-$1 million in handle that day, which will not be available in 2 weeks due to the limited patrons allowed. People who come out for the Pace and the Hambletonian are not regular bettors and the virus has caused a reduction in their participation in the betting this year. You need help, to be so obsessed with Gural in this manner.
Total handle was a hefty $3,065,942.00 tonight vs. $2,294,097 last year. That is a 30% increase which should show the doubters the facts. Last year the Hambo was on the Saturday program so do not expect the Saturday handle to top last year's different card.
Last year there were carryover nights that did more than this year on random dates too. Bottom line is little tracks increasing their handles by 20% from $300,000 to $360,000 is nice, but it does not compare to the volume of betting the Meadowlands does as this constant bashing of the best betting track in North American harness racing is ludicrous at this point. You hate the top grossing track, go ahead. It makes NO sense.
