Keeneland Fall Meet - Poly, Trakus and Beer. OH MY!

[todko]

PointG5,

I've heard a lot of people say the same thing. In every racebook I've been to people have said they quit playing the poly. Turfway reports handle up. I wonder sometimes if they are telling the truth. I was there on KY Cup day and the crowd looked really small to me. Smallest I can remember.

Maybe the poly will prove so hard to handicap that bettors will leave horseracing. I hope all tracks don't switch.

And you're right . . . some horses just don't run on it. And it's tough to tell how shippers will like it.

I think the handle has increased, because they have missed less days due to weather...

Keeneland should be a good barometer, because the quality of horses and the meet, we'll see how the handle is there...
