INT: You’ve said you need to double handle to sustain these purses of a million a day. What are the realistic chances of that?
That’s not what I said. My projections were soft, 20% to 25% increases. What I tried to allude to is that Saratoga is still the best in the country. We looked at the model–$13 million in daily handle at Saratoga). We are at $3.2 million. Somewhere I said can I grow toward that Saratoga number. Can I double my number this year? I don’t know. We made very soft projections just to maintain where we were: 20% increases on live handle, 20% on transmission of races, and that’s adding two or three races per day, ans assuming our field size will increase from under 7.5 horses per race to 8.75 or maybe nine. Instead of pissing on it lets see what happens. Getting the trainers and jocks behind it is already a huge start. I will save the thread and revisit when the meet is over. |

A simply astounding performance. Should be a wakeup call to the industry including that in NJ. I understand it is possibly a one shot deal, especially with the state's problems. That said I am hoping other tracks do similar meets.
