the pools are probably up less in % terms than the purses , no question about that , but the higher purses have helped various barns that cannot be disputed

as i said , my guess is that of 10 people that go to yonkers , there are proabably about 3 out of 10 that go there for horses , 6 go for the slots and 1 goes for the food ... the couple that go for the food most likely throw small bets into the pools , bery meaningless , of the 6 slot players , my guess is that maybe 1 or 2 of those will play numbers in the races , again small amount into the pool .... the vast majority of the pool will come from players not at the facility (no counting barn $$$$)
