$250k a race is better than most.  You're not likely to move prices much with a $20 win bet on 20/1 or less.

$3000,000 handle  is the breaking even number.

Guess they don’t make any money even though it’s only open 3 months

300,000 I meant.  That’s what the Gm at the meadows told my wife Jean a few years ago.  If they handle that. Is only a break even for the track to turn on the lights.

Their break even depends on how many old ladies spend their ss checks at the slots...horse racing has zero to do with their bottom line.

Terrible handle. Nfld, Big M, Mohawk, and Hawthorne is the only 4 you can bet
