You are correct. This was astonishing news as they lost a ton of handle on JCGC day with the small fields and prohibitive favorites.
Quite frankly when this was announced, I was stunned.
I figured that the hit the they took on JCGC day would surely hurt them badly.
Guess people like this dirt racing stuff to bet on after all.
Wonder how the Empire racing boys will try and spin this? Their attempt to spin the handle gain at Saratoga was to say that not enough people were shopping on Broadway. They actually said that, to reporters!!!!!
How do you figure they will spin this one?
