That will negatively impact how they do for the day. Last year's Fla Derby day handle was huge and the on-track business was very good.
Nick, I'm not arguing with you, but I really don't see what the difference would be. For the people who go/plan to go just to see the race, is having it on a Sunday that much of a difference? I guess it could affect people who are traveling in for the race and have to be home for Monday, but I really don't think we are talking about that big of a number.
