She had no visible excuse but the other Burke horse who beat her easily was being driven by Dexter for the 1st time and really improved,
Two year old filly from the 10 post parked to the quarter on an off track.
Total Nightly Handle: $3,444,103.30 which topped last year's total.
Once again all bets are time stamped. No one is betting after the bell without getting caught

Gural is on record that the doors are closing if they dont get the casinoThey could do 4 million a night every night. They would still close.He has no meaningful handle on imported signals. The vast majority of the live handle is from adw retail accounts and CAWs. The current business model doesnt work. Apparently even with the sports business. The true description of it would be whatever the polar opposite of "thriving" is
The Hambo Society better be careful. The Meadowlands and Woodbine are the only tracks that can truly garner interest nationally and with handle. All the peeps love the Red Mile because the farms are there but the handles are atrocious and isnt the place a dump. The Meadowlands is the best track in the world and horsemen should be grovelling for that casino to get it back to its glory...and it will never return to what it was in the 80s and 90s but easily it should be the dominant track
FanDuel's operations at the Meadowlands consistently generate the majority of New Jersey's sports betting revenue. However, specific "profits" for the Meadowlands Racetrack are complex, as a percentage of the revenue is used to cover the racetrack's operational losses and contribute to horse racing purses, rather than being pure profit for the track itself. Meadowlands/FanDuel Revenue Snapshot (NJ)Overall Market Dominance: FanDuel, which operates online and a physical sportsbook through the Meadowlands' New Jersey license, is the leading operator in the state's highly competitive market.Monthly Performance: In January 2024, the Meadowlands (with its three online partners including FanDuel) set a record by surpassing $100 million in monthly revenue.Annual Revenue (2023): Profits (revenue) for the entire Meadowlands operation from sports betting surpassed $458 million for the year 2023.Retail vs. Online: The vast majority of revenue comes from online sports betting. For example, in December 2023, online revenue for the Meadowlands was $49.3 million, while the physical (retail) location contributed around $1.8 million. Racetrack Allocation of RevenueThe financial arrangement is critical to understanding "profits at the Meadowlands":In 2024, $2.5 million from sports betting revenue was added directly to the horse racing purse account.An additional $11.5 million was used to cover the operating losses of the racetrack for the year. Therefore, while the FanDuel-powered operation is a massive revenue generator in New Jersey, the Meadowlands Racetrack itself uses a significant portion of this income to subsidize its horseracing operations, not generating a direct "profit" for the track as a standalone business in the traditional sense.
Fanduel profits about 300 million a year at the Meadowlands. Best estimates are Gural gets 15% about 45 million a year. He’s making money even with the expense of the racing. Fanduel can exist without racing at the Meadowlands but racing is just a write off on Gural’s tax bill. His threat of closing the track without a casino is just a threat.
