Title: For all of those here on horseplop that moan, groan, and--
Post by: rainman2 on June 18, 2024, 02:19:24 AM: complain about the racing at Yonkers, please read the results from the card on Monday 6-17-2024.
1st to last in quite a few races was less than 8 lengths.
Feel free to read the results and post on this thread.

It must be down 30 to 50% in the last couple of years. Makes it an unbettable product. The other night they did $11,800 in a race...holy shit that's like C level handle.

Those tracks definitely qualify for an F rating

Yonkers does nothing to promote their business product and doesn't need to as long as that free money keeps coming in!

They've lost a lot of handle by closing the betting several seconds earlier than before.

About a month ago I saw a .10 super pay $0.84 there ngc3
Idc if the top 4 run in betting order,a $1 super should never pay $8.40.
Yonkers is a joke, Faraldough hasn't done it any favors.

Is this intentional? Are they even aware of this? Do they even care?

Looks like someone didn't read the charts from Monday 6-17.
Was it an anomaly?
Probably was, but the racing was good for a change. Almost like the 1970's and 1980's!
