It looks like that race handled just short of 250k. I'm not sure of The Meadowlands takeout percentage, but just using round numbers 20% takeout would have raised 50 grand for Hunter's family.
this is inacurrate
Elite Turf Club and other rebated sources are not donating their rebate
also there exists state taxes on every dollar wagered, which are not forgiven for this race--along with site fees and ADW fees
I am not badmouthing Gural here--it is a wonderful gesture for the Myers family
but you cant just look at the handle of the race--skim 20% off and look at that number
every wagering dollar is sliced like a pie-with small percentages being consumed by various, little known entities
still a nice gesture by Gural
