a big crowd showed at del mar yesterday, but how was the handle?

I would be willing to wager that the handle was better than any Saturday of the meet so far. Isn't that the point? To increase handle?

absolutely! i haven't seen any of the numbers, i'd imagine handle was higher than a normal saturday. however, racing needs to find more than a horse running five times a year to get fans to show up.
