Title: Meadowlands Saves thier Future .
Post by: Locked in with pace on January 17, 2026, 06:21:54 AM

Friday night had one of the worst cards ever. Low-class horses, I mean non-competitive horses at cheap fairs, ship in and win.   They handle $2.8 and give out less than $150,000 in a 14-card program. The NEW Meadowlands has arrived

At least 90 percent of their handle comes from ADW's and other off track betting sites. Meadowlands charges between 4 and 5 percent for their signal, so on a 2.2 million dollar handle at 5 percent it comes to $110,000 which doesn't even cover purses. Some of that money also goes towards other expenses.
