![]() Great interview with Randy Sampson on ATR today. Its time to see if Canterbury can show the country that reduced takeout will significantly increase handle.
Canterbury has raised the bet. Are players gonna fold, call or raise? Its time for players to put there money where there mouth is. |

Thanks for listening. Was pleased to get Sampson in advance of their season and herald their widespread initiatives promoting their product at all levels. Hope they have strong results. One sidebar that we didn't get to Thursday was this enhancement to odds presentation: 10-Second Odds Updates: In conjunction with United Tote, Canterbury Park will offer win odds that update every 10-seconds when there is less than 10 Minutes to Post. This change will provide Canterbury Park and its customers the most real-time win odds in North American horse racing. We believe that this advancement in the tote system will greatly benefit customers as they will constantly have access to the most current win odds.

![]() Post script from last night.............attendance on track of 7,439 bet $243,802 but the total with simulcast money was $840,999............beautiful evening and the crowd turned out. Most seemed more interested in food and beverages but regardless the folks at Cby are pretty happy with the start and it was fun hearing the "roar of the crowd"..........should be a pretty fun meet all summer.

![]() I'm not as high on reduced takeout as the magic bullet as others but the opposite was absolutely true with CD's inane decision to raise takeout "because they could" after adding the September meet. Handle tanked.

![]() I've never even look at Canterbury before but I'm going to play for sure just to do my part and they are rewarded for helping the players out.
