My perception is that Oaklawn would lose more of its total handle by running without live fans than, say, Aqueduct might since OKL has much larger crowds who tend to bet with both fists.

I share your question about the rest of the TC and the BC. Churchill seems to be actin like the 800 pound gorilla it is by setting the Derby date and letting everyone else figure out how to dovetail into that schedule. In fairness, there may be discussions occurring behind the scenes on these precise topics.

Thanks. I knew there was a way to do it. As for the $242k, there is a small area in the casino that has some self-service machines. I imagine the bettors there were out of town folks that didn't have the Oaklawn Anywhere Account wagering set up or no other internet wagering account which seems foolish to me, if you are serious at all about playing horses.
