HAMBO HANDLE JUST SHY OF $7.5 MILLION AT BIG MSaturday, August 2, 2025Total handle on the 16-race Hambletonian Day card Saturday at The Meadowlands totaled $7,464,087, up slightly over 2024, when $7.427 million was pushed through the windows in North America.“And after the foreign entities are added to the total, our Hambletonian Day handle figures to be in excess of $8 million for a fourth straight year,” said Big M Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir.A crowd of 17,696 jammed into the mile oval as on-track betting totaled $851,826, an increase over last year of 8.2 percent.“Great weather and the usual great Hambletonian Day card led to a big day of wagering on-site,” said Settlemoir. “We appreciate our faithful fans, and, of course our horsemen and staff for putting on another great show.”Wagering on the Hambletonian itself saw a slight increase as well, as $1,172,046 was wagered on the 100th edition of America’s Trotting Classic, an uptick of 5 percent over 2024.
thank you for this good news! Most of these losers don’t even own a horse and the ones that do are probably Monticello bottom class stock. How many times do I have to say,,, that if you have a good sound racehorse, you can’t help but make money!!
How many times are you going to repeat the same useless drivel?
This is all great news! I keep saying this over and over,, if your horse stays sound and you have a good horse you can’t help but make money in the business.
Your stable consists of a mule and a 3-legged goat, but I'm sure you make money.
His point is that harness racing is thriving on Hambo Day. The rest of the year when handle is down doesn't count.
