Memorial Day Weekend + The Industry
Equibase released data today showing wagering performance in May for the entire industry. Overall, the industry was down -8.27% but is slightly ahead of the -8.37% for the entire year.
I ran some numbers (using pool sizes, so somewhat crude, although not too bad) on Memorial Day weekend (Thursday thru Monday) and despite a lot of ups/downs with individual tracks, handle was slightly-up at about 0.45% overall for the weekend. So, perhaps we're turning a corner and with some good momentum, and are in position to have a good Belmont weekend.
