Change can always be hard to handle particularly when institutions are benched for new voices and traditions are put on hold to follow new strategies. With about a third of the season down, the fortunate weather, good attendance, a successful well protected Racino and some new operational polices have seemingly contributed to Oaklawn experiencing about the best meet you could have in these times. Of course it's hard for me to be objective.

Oaklawn does incredible on-track business. That is a huge feather in their cap. On most weekends, 1/3rd of their total handle is on-track business. That's huge.
What they do poorly, however, is mis-manage their post times so that they are constantly in conflict with another major signal. This severely hinders their total handle, because you're already up against it when you start 1.5-2 hours after the major east coast signals. Most people don't realize it, but a place like Tampa out-handles OP on weekends 1.5-1. It's more of a personal gripe, but I hate that they draw 48 hours out. Give people a little time to look at your cards. All in all, they're having a great meet and it's nice to see purses going up in times like these.
