yeah, but like someone else said....its good creative managment. making excuses and getting screwed by the state or other entities (like NY and NJ) are going through, during tough times to boot.......that ship will sink or die a slow death! i'm actually starting to think that there are forces against horse racing selling the excuses like yours.(they are doing better because of A or B) who cares????....they are doing GOOD business $$$$$....instead of crying, try to emulate what a winner does. we USED to be the CAN DO people... if i said this in Ny too loud they might commit me......we actually had an assh6le up here walk out when it was time to vote. i don't even care which side he took, this spineless loser walked away!!!! this is the age we live under people!...they always sell US (the people) a sob story...please don't buy into it. i commend them for doing well.....why can't things get MANAGED right here?????? thats what people should be asking and LOUDLY!

Um, I don't think they gave that as the reason why they did it, I just know that for the first time evah, you were allowed to bet Woodbine (TB and Jughead) in Vegas, which is obviously a heavy market when it comes to horse wagering.

Its common sense that this is a valid reason for the increase

What's the reason for the 7% hike in 2009 handle over 2008 ? No Vegas factor there .

What about the fact that their field sizes and the depth within their fields were solid. Whether it was one of their crappy 10kN2L claiming races or a high level allowance. They had an ass-ton of nice, deep bettable races.

And was it just me, or were they put in the AM DRF a lot more than in past years?
