The pots at CT are good enough to make money with, especially if you are hitting at 42%. At Beulah you can be 100% and lose pretty much all your money.

3/19 total purses for 8 races at Beu -36k
3/17 total purses for 8 races at Beu -32k
3/16 total purses for 9 races at Beu - 38k

What's scary is they average $1.5 million or so in total handle on Mondays and Tuesdays. I guess people really will bet on anything!

At face value they are

Why anyone would choose to be there is a mystery to me.

Fn ridiculous that horses are used to compete at such disdainful levels.

That's what I'm wondering...what is the draw for guys like that to race there. I understand the people who have been there for years but these other guys...I don't get it. Do you think it is just to get some numbers in the win column?
