That is simply not true. You will get far more casual players money having a 4 day lead in. That is a lot of time to promote the carryover, for people to handicap the races and for syndicates to form. The fact is that they had no idea if they were going have a carryover. There is just no demand for the day after the Belmont. Based on the numbers there wasnt a huge demand for Belmont day, let alone the next day. And comparing Saratoga and Belmont is folly. They get 15k on the Sunday before the meet even starts. Complaining about something like this is petty.
