He either needed one or isn’t much horse. Depending on the field I’d be interested in playing against him. Of course I bet the runner up that day.

Yea everyone made a big deal about beating that horse by 20 in the workout. However when Maggie interviewed Mott he said he tried blinkers on that horse and when he took them off she worked in 47 next time. So it wasn't a really fair comparison but most firing on the World Beater didn't know that.

EMD, the track, was bought by the Muckleshoot tribe about 5 years ago, the tribe owned the land for about the last 20 years
From Equibase - handle for Mile day this year - $2,265,152 - 11 races
handle last years Mile day - $2,231,933 - 10 races (Sunday)
I have nothing official, Wednesday cards seems to have higher handle with the 2:15 pm local post, partly riding coat tails of Saratoga and others
Thursday, with the 5 pm local post, seems to have reduced handle

In the beginning of the meet, there was talk of adjusting to weekend racing, so i guess they're happy with the handle
