Tioga Handle

In half the races the handle was less than 5k.

How do they stay open?

   The track supports the casino and vice versa .  And Jeff Gural may help out if its needed.

Even you can't be that stupid.

I don't believe there's any tracks that actually cover the cost of racing ? Look at Shenandoah which only handle $50,000 - $60,000 a day. The cost to race is probably $15,000 for International Sound, United Tote, Roberts, Judges, Starter and Driver, Track Crew and Paddock Crew. % for online wagering is very low compared to 10 or more % for ontrack. Harness Racing needs to be very thankful for the welfare money from the Casinos.

Do you think that there would be casinos at the tracks if it wasn't for the tracks lobbying for it?
