Title: Meadowlands handle is getting worse
Post by: BrokenHeadPole on August 01, 2026, 08:10:45 AM
What is going on? Big-name drivers are back and nowhere near the $3 million nightly handle that they reached for so many days earlier this year and last.

The Big M is irrelevant, save three days a year. Looks good on the nefarious goof that runs the place.

Post time should never be before 7pm. The races drag on to long. It is a poor product on most nights. Winter was always the best time to make scores at M1.

I left out the CAWs money. You are right on that.

Name another harness track that handled any where near what M1 did Friday night.

  How about naming a track that actually shows a profit just from harness racing? No state subsidies handouts, no casino welfare, just harness racing. We eagerly await your reply.

   We, is every other PERSON, who actually is capable of independent thought, who isn't desperate for attention. You are not one of those. You are just a sad, pitiful and useless. How desperate you must be to get someone to actually notice you, that you come on this site, and spew bullshit with every post. Please continue posting. It gives me something to laugh about.

Above talking points aren't true.

I'm guessing you're not watching because Drivers at The Meadowlands give very few holes except for 2-year-olds.

2026 chalk percent of winners at The Meadowlands is (40.7) percent vs Hoosier Park (45.9), Phili (46), Meadows (48.9), Monticello (48), Mohawk (46.8), Northfield (46.2), Oak Grove (48.7), Plainridge (48.6), Pocono (44.7), Saratoga (47.9), Scioto (44) and Yonkers (46.2).

To be Fair, negatively....... .... they do run cheaper horses most of the year and the driving colony are not "A" drivers a lot of the year, also the handle has been down this year.

You have a warped sense of reality. An industry which cannot support itself does not have a long term future. How old is Jeff again?  Who is going to replace him? Will they be as willing to subsidize racing?

Speaking of the topic. Handle getting worse. It's not name another track beating it. It IS getting worse.
The MULTIPLE reasons have been mentioned and discussed at nauseam. Point is that it's no longer
and will never again be 'THE MECCA'. Gotta get back to eating my cake. ;D

The point is the industry is dying, not just M1. All tracks are down and will continue that trend. Only jerkoffs like you single out M1. It will always be The Mecca. An example would be when you invite several of your homo mongoloid friends over for your monthly circle jerk party. YOU are always the the one all the others want to be with, as you drool the most.

All-source betting on the 14-race program was vigorous, as $3,487,210 were pushed through the windows, the second most prolific night of wagering at The Big M in 2026, behind only Meadowlands Pace Night ($4 million).

First of the month....handle ticks up everywhere.
I guess it's the "Social Security checks arrive" theory if that's still a thing.
