Hegarty: August Handle down <3%
Matt Hegarty reports in DRF this a.m. that the anticipated summer wagering decline wasn't all that bad...
http://www.drf.com/news/article/98124.html Wagering during August was $1,389,600,847 compared to wagering of $1,428,242,200 in August of last year, a decline of approximately $39 million, according to the figures. The figures seem to contradict anecdotal evidence that racing is suffering from a dramatic midsummer decline in business. |
Whats up at Belmont?
Wed Sunny 72 Attendance 3,280 on track handle $708K Today Cloudy 70 Attendance 2,659 on track handle $669K(with c/o of $202K) Did the Florida Marlins management take over Belmont? Will wait for the September numbers on CNBC, Rick Santelli will be releasing them from the paddock at the end of the month. |

You mean NYRA tracks aren't the only ones with low attendance? It's hard to tell since they are the only ones that still release the numbers. I'm sure the other tracks don't release them because they don't want to embarrass NY. |

By the way you left Keeneland off your list. |

And Presque Isle and Mountaineer have slots....which I'm sure don't affect attendance. Does Suffolk as well? |
