The Meadowlands average handle is three times that of Hoosier. That says it all.

Sports Illustrated article September 1980 was about the Hambletonian moving to NJ and They'll miss the cornfields.

It actually went Syracuse, Lexington, Syracuse Lexington and then Goshen with a year at Empire City and back to Goshen before heading West for 24 years.

why do people still think handle is a factor?

half of harness racing handle is CAW-so the tracks make about 1-2 pennies per dollar because they give these CAWs monster rebates

this obsession over handle being relevant is illogical

It is a strong indication of interest and reach. Try taking a marketing class. Hoosier is a third tier track.

interest and reach? ngc3

it is way too late to create any new interest--any  interest that remains is mostly gray haired men over age 60


reach?--nobody cares.........han dle declines year over year for about 10 years now

handle at M1 and handle at Hoosier are equivalent----they are meaningless

is that difficult to grasp?

Is it true people in Indiana carry those composting-camping toilets in the trunks of their cars?
While I agree it is quite efficient, I don’t think it’s for me.

Not that 'Concentrated' at a racetrack smart guy. Go to Hoosier, You'll understand.
It would be like a gang in one of your crime ridden towns but strangely peaceful, observant.

My bad then. Sorry to stereotype. Six of one, half dozen of the other for the most part when you would put them side by side.
No offence mind you , just who they are, Always been cool with me. Had some do our roof recently. Respectful.
Still think they'll be eyeing you. If they have a banjo and/or a gun I'd be for steppin'  ngc3

Surprisingly Dover (and Harrington) may at times and almost covers its nut on an avg purse night.  Just the right balance of inbred horsemen and gambler following in cracked out loser Delaware  ngc3

I think it might be an East coast thing. Like you have an argument with someone and they insult you.
You just say." Well you can just to Dover," Or your wife would tell you: "The way you treat people,
you're going to Dover." ;D
