Title: Harness Racing is Thriving

Oak Grove Crushes Handle Record  tmbz1

Gamblers showed up with incredible enthusiasm for the blockbuster day of stakes racing at Oak Grove on Monday, which featured just over $600,000 in purses. The 15-race card easily became the biggest betting day in the six-year history of the track with $873,180.47 wagered, besting the previous handle record from last year of $582,666.19 by 50 percent. With the seven-figure milestone one day in sight for the budding track in Southwest Kentucky, Oak Grove wishes to thank all of the drivers, trainers, owners, bettors and the entire Oak Grove racing and broadcasting team who have been instrumental in the track’s stellar growth over just six years and continue to share a belief and vision in the ever-improving racing product at Oak Grove.

That handle brought in less than 50K in betting revenue. It is not sustainable and that means anything but thriving.

About a 2% maybe 3% return on online vs 10% or more live handle. Take the welfare money out of racing and see what you have...
