Steve- is the must pay day for GP known? It has to be either the end of the main meet coming up soon or the flip of the FL season in June, right?

Funny you ask.. Came up again on twitter as Welsch updated that no decision yet made. June 29 by statute is when meet ends but they are considering an earlier 'forced distribution' closer to the more traditional end of the winter meet.

That's what I thought... From a business perspective one would think the earlier date makes sense since focus would still be down there. I would think either 4/5, 4/6, or 4/12 would make the most sense, as to avoid Palm/Easter Sunday so NY players can get involved with the arcane laws still on the books.

If the jackpot carries until then handle could be in the $20 million range.

Florida Derby day would definitely get a lot of money in the pool.
