Well with things like Derby Barbie, the Over/Under, and Matrix wager, how could you avoid betting on Churchill? All of the elements are there.

Oh, I thought you meant not betting AT ALL... I'd hate to have to stop betting on any track at any time that I wanted to...




.....but I don't have a gambling problem

looks like the handle from the 5th race was about 35K, in the 6th race it went up to about 55k and the 7th race it went down to 25k or so. these arent exact numbers, just me adding up the chart totals. but apparently there was a noticeable difference.

Mutuel Pool: +76%
Exacta Pool: +147%
Quinella Pool: +62%
Trifecta Pool: +92%
Superfecta Pool: +60%
Overall Pool Bump: Plus 96%

We had about a 77% jump in handle from race 6 last week. From race 4 today we had about a 450% pool jump. It appears HANA members and other bettors showed up a little early to bet race 5 as it had larger than average pool numbers. Further, Will Rogers overall handle for 11 races was just below $250,000. The HANA/Mayo race alone represented about 20% of the entire cards handle.

I should have said it was a great post.

every once in awhile I have a lucid moment.
