good news for oaklawn. average daily handle/attendance was down, but total handle/attendance was up. it pays not to miss days. |
That's actually bad news. Considering the investment they made in having their races televised by TVG and the immaculate weather they had, being down in any category is bad.
Oaklawn is a very poorly run racetrack for the simulcast bettor. Limited menu of wagering options, late draw for entries, poor post time management. At least HANA loves them...
