Louisiana Downs had a sizable increase in handle mid-meet last year when more attention was paid to post times. There are a lot of bettors out there whose only criteria for betting is which race is next.

During their meet Tampa stays a good amount of time away from GP and Aqu and their races are almost always isolated in terms of competition. The fact that they are an early signal helps a lot because the east coast simulcast players who start their day with Aqueduct have Tampa just a few minutes before and immediately start looking at their races. They often end up staying with them the rest of the day.

I don't know.

These type of degenerates are typically very small bettors...and there are some places that even they won't play.

It's pretty sick to think tracks would put effort into playing games with post times for them... when they're not doing things that would be much more to their benefit - and MUCH more to the benefit of the sport overall.
