KEE Handle

[tiggerv]

They need to stop signing these stupid exclusive wagering deals with the TVGs of the world. There are 12 states that can't wager online at Keenland through Twinspires and Xpressbet. I don't really want to fund another account so I decided to pass on Keeneland because it's such a short meet knowing I will have to suck it up for Del Mar which has the same problem.

i like the fact that they have fairly decent size fields good grass racing and nice betting format with .50cent tris and pick 4 its just the economy thats affecting handle

Interesting that this wasnt mentioned as a reason especially for the out of state losses

I know some of those states couldnt wager on Keeneland last year (Keeneland was unavailable for KY residents through twinspires/brisbet). I wonder if thlose 12 states were allowed to bet into the pools last year or not.

I wonder how far down the handle would be if they compared the dirt racing and the grass racing separately. I wouldn't be surprised if the grass handle is actually up a little bit and the dirt handle is down more than 17%. While I'm not a heavy gambler in any sense, I know that this year, I've not wagered a single dollar on a Keeneland dirt race. Combine that with less than $200 wagered on a SA dirt race and I was able to do a few extra things with the money saved. So on behalf of my family, thank you junk track.

I think the weather has been unfortunately not in their favor as well, both Saturdays were pretty miserable and those are typically huge handle days at Keeneland.

Was there Ashland Day and didn't see a lot of "players"... just a lot of drunk college kids.
