Truthfully I was a bit surprised at the interest shown in the bet yesterday.
I suppose the fact that Belmont had the high quality card had a lot to do with it.......apparently people really love the P-4/5.
I'm only guessing here,but I imagine the bettors just took their P-5 money and shipped it to GP/MTH/WOOD etc. when they couldn't play the wager they wanted.
In terms of the other ADW's, I would guess the players weren't pleased about being denied the chance to play the bet.
I'm thinking the NYRA left a lot of money on the table,and probably didn't score a whole lot of points with some of their more loyal bettors.

All true. If you are looking to build an ADW to compliment the best circuit in country you need to look to the future. Yes guys come to OTB's with X dollars to have fun and bet a few hundy for the day, all true. I think Andy is right its a complicated issue that has +/-'s, give it time IMO and see how it plays out
