That is an enormous drop. Looking at some articles and past NYRA financials, the handle has almost always been in the $200m-$260m range. Can bad weather explain it away? Or is it simply more trainers moving their operations South for the winter?

The flip side is that total NYRA handle seems pretty consistent. I think Saratoga hit a record high and Belmont was up there too.
Forgetting about the weather, why don't you look at the number of days. Likely that 2017 included December and 2018 did not.
