Hoosier Park
« on: November 30, 2025, 06:11:28 PM »
According to Gabe Prewitt, Hoosier Park's handle is up 30% in handle on a year-to-year basis.

What specific strategies are Prewitt and Co. using that can be replicated at other tracks to at least stem the downward trend in handle?

Any numbers to back that up?  Seems like a big jump.

Thanks for posting that.  That’s a decent increase considering harness racing as a whole is way down.

I've said it multiple times but Jacob Rheinheimer is exceptional. They've phased out worthless commentary from Chamberlain, making the on-air product more appealing.

The horse stock they had this year was much better than year's before, specifically the 2 year olds. Also some of the grand circuit horses came to Hoosier at the end of the year and had difficulty beating the sire stakes company.

The racing has never been more uncompetitive, in my opinion, because of how horrid the driver colony is. Single file racing to the far turn with 5 or 6 favorites stealing wins per night via joke fractions on the lead because everyone on a horse 5/1 or more is racing to get a check - never to win.

On nights where David Miller, Dexter Dunn, etc are in town, Hoosier's cards compete with the Big M in terms of parity, competition, betting product, and overall quality, but those nights are too few and far between.

Clueless comment. He won less than 10% of total races at the track this year.

CAN YOU IMAGINE NITWIT HALFWIT BRAGGING ABOUT 61K IN A SINGLE RACE BETTING POOL? .PLACE IS 1/2 EMPTY ON THE RACING SIDE. THE CASINO IS FULL THOUGH WHERE 61K PER SECOND IS BET. YOU'RE LUCKY IF YOU GET A PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY CUT BACK ON HOW MANY THEY PRINT.
RICK MOORE SCREWED THE PLACE UP SO BAD IT MIGHT NEVER RECOVER.
THEY LET TRACE HAVE THE RUN OF THE TRACK. NOBODY CAN CHALLENGE HIM OR HE CRIES. JUST WON HIS 14TH MEET, AND HAS BEEN LEADING DRIVER 11 IN A ROW.THIS ONLY MEANS THE OTHER DRIVERS SUCK.

What percentage of the races he was in did he win?  Had to be at least 25% at Hoosier.

However he did it, wherever the money comes from, those numbers are great...consideri ng every other track is easily down 20% or more over the last few years.
