Well after 14 races a total of $152,200 was bet for the night. That’s only $10,870 per race which included Superfecta pools under $1,000. Having never owned a racetrack does anyone know if this is a losing proposition or can a track make any money with these betting amounts?
Going to VD for 50 yrs Way better than any other harness track in NY People are great there Never had a bad expience there Say what you want but it will be a very sad day when it goes away
for nearly all tracks -- the business model for a harness track is to operate purely for the subsidies given to horsemen to get what owners really want.... Casino's or in Jersey's case, a slice of the pie from casino's in AC...
They lose money on horse racing--but they must race to keep the slots goingsame for Tiogaif they cared about racing-they wouldn't race when everyone else does, but Gural's theory is to create more foot traffic for the gaming side of the business-so they race on weekendshandle means nothing-they could increase handle if they raced on Tuesday and Wednesday nights--but his "foot traffic" would decline
Tioga purses pretty good Go to shithole in Buffalo draw 6-7-8 good luck Morill Kevin inside good luck Race against the many no goods up there good luck Get your horse not to be crippled on that track good luck And most of all don't question any of the stupid things they do Still waiting for someone to give me ONE good thing about that place
