cumberland new wagers

[chief yogi]

i see when i get back to maine cumberland is adding a pick 6 and pentafecta.   with no handle why bother adding more wagers to further dillute pools. pick 5 was lucky to hit 500 and supers were the same. im not playing.

  anyone at the past weekend qualifiers? wondering if the boat show was still in the grandstand? any running water in the grandstand? bathrooms? no tresspassing signs installed? road and parking lot paved? clubhouse open?

 on a good note the purses look better so hope all racing have a great season. looked like pleanty of horses ready to go.

Lol it will never happen with out sports betting.Is anyone still talking about a new track?

It looks like sports betting is going to happen here in Maine. I'm hoping that once the legislature approves it, the investors who have been talking of bringing a new small facility will get it done.

In correct.  The way the idiot Governor wrote the Bill, 90% of the sports betting goes to the Indians.  The OTB’s and tracks get screwed.  Natives to get 100% of theon line revenue... leaves almost nothing for the rest.... sad... but typical of this woman.  Bring back Paul Lepage y’all!!!

First Tracks must have some long-range plan. I'm sure they fully know what has already been legislated. Time will tell. Meanwhile, Cumberland has kept us racing but would be nice if they made the place more fan-friendly.

You don't like the boat show?

Over/Under Handle projections for opening weekend? With 12 races each day I'll go under $90,000 each day. Tough to bet with many horses not showing a race line since December.

hard to say total handle. on track 3000 off will depend if they decide to torture everyone in the paddock by going every 30 mins. if they really drag it out off track might hit 60000. if they run them faster then id say 59000 off track. a lot of cometition on friday  night.

I say even money there will be torture

[chief yogi]

i think thats a great bet at that price. hope the lights work.

We were all wrong: $108,000 for the day. The last race went off at 7:00  and handled $23,000.
