"We need to do at least $3 million in handle every night," said Chief Operating Officer and GM Jason Settlemoir. "We will continue to lengthen or shorten the "drag time" between races as we see fit, as long as we can hit our handle target."
More drag arriving soon. Handled only 2.7 last night.
Coming off a weekend where neither night was able to top $3 million dollars in total handle, another troubling sign has emerged. "We carded 26 races this weekend and we could only fill 12," said Racing Secretary Scott Warren. "I've asked Mark Ford to appeal to the SBOANJ membership to support our entry box. There are just too many New Jersey horsemen entering at Chester and Pocono before dropping into our box."
As with the drivers, is the next step trainers must contractually agree to race exclusively at the Meadowlands or face expulsion?
At least the trainers can still have a shot at their 5%. Gural expects loyalty from his drivers & then shits on them by filling race cards with armature races while this loyal drivers sit in the change room.
