Breeders Cup wagered over $180,000,000 over 2 days anyone know what they bet in the Breeders Crown?

Just shy of $8mil, and upside down to their purses, muchless operating expenses inclusive  .  About 4.4% of what the T-Breds did, in other words the latter did almost 23 x's the handle. 

Fucking disaster

Televising the Breeders Crown on a third-tier channel from 8p-11p on a Friday and from 7:30p-11p on a Saturday probably doesn't help with viewership and/or handle.

I get that it's apples and bowling balls, but $180m vs a fraction of that is indicative and reflective of a lot.

Why make this thread?
Did you just realize the difference, or did you think others here had no idea?
