The Meadowlands average handle is three times that of Hoosier. That says it all.

why do people still think handle is a factor?

half of harness racing handle is CAW-so the tracks make about 1-2 pennies per dollar because they give these CAWs monster rebates

this obsession over handle being relevant is illogical

It is a strong indication of interest and reach. Try taking a marketing class. Hoosier is a third tier track.
