OMG, GP really screwed up putting its Derby on Sunday!

The focus of the GP Operations team this year was to have a bigger weekend than FL Derby weekend in 2010. Their focus was never to have a bigger Fla Derby DAY because the 2010 number was huge. Now, little did they know that the GP signal was going to be more popular this year than it has in years because of new wagers, some low takeouts, good weather, etc.

The point that I made in this thread, and before, was that they shifted the focus from an individual day to a weekend. Judging by how well they did on Sunday, they would have beaten the 2010 mark handily if the FL Derby had been on Saturday. The "Ladies Day" card would have done roughly 70% of what it did and they would have gotten a FL Derby day record and a FL Derby weekend record.

Based upon what again? Your original post mention three canceled races that could not have possibly equated to $7.5m (or more than, based upon your "projection"), so now you have dropped that. You are fabricating imaginary totals for race days that did not happen because, apparently acknowledging that what was achieved this year was a clear success is apparently unacceptable.

NT--candidly, I expect better out of you. We have idiots here, and you are not one of them. Is it that hard to give the devil his due and move on?
