Weekend handles
Interesting stat I read. Tampa Bay Downs out handled Aqueduct on Sunday. Gulfstream almost tripled the Handle at Aqueduct. Santa Anita Doubled it .
This must be alarming for the folks at NYRA, or is this the new normal ? |

2017 Aqueduct Fall Meet All-Sources Handle: $250,376,535 2018 Aqueduct Fall Meet All-Sources Handle: $137,213,915 That is an enormous drop. Looking at some articles and past NYRA financials, the handle has almost always been in the $200m-$260m range. Can bad weather explain it away? Or is it simply more trainers moving their operations South for the winter? The flip side is that total NYRA handle seems pretty consistent. I think Saratoga hit a record high and Belmont was up there too. |

In 2018, 193 races were taken off the turf for all of NYRA. I couldn’t find specific numbers for Aqueduct. I wonder how many of the cancellations were due to them simply getting used to the new inner turf course. I guess we’ll see. Too many factors to suggest this is the new normal, IMO. |

And that doesn't take in to account turf races that were in the condition book, or on overnights as extras, that were not used in anticipation of rainy forecasts. |
I was more about yesterday. I could see on a Big day of racing, but on a regular Sunday to see Tampa handle more was surprising. They handled more than Oaklawn too which also was surprising.
