All kidding aside, take a look at the daily handle, the actual numbers, and every Saturday as well. Each time I would look at last year's numbers as we waited for this year's final tally, I was taken aback by the kind of numbers that we were up against.
Fair enough but wasn't last year the first year they did the Friday opening and the record number of days, which is why last year was up so much on a % basis?....The per race totals as I watch finishing totals look much less than the mid 2000 pools I used to see in terms of win place and show totals. Maybe people are playing more exotics and multirace wagers. I'm sure that's part of it.
