Hegarty: August Handle down <3%
Matt Hegarty reports in DRF this a.m. that the anticipated summer wagering decline wasn't all that bad...

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.
