So now Harness Racing Fans on the East Coast know how the Harness Racing Fans in the Midwest felt 47 years ago when the Hambo was taken away from DuQuoin  !!!

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.

interest and reach? ngc3

it is way too late to create any new interest--any  interest that remains is mostly gray haired men over age 60


reach?--nobody cares.........han dle declines year over year for about 10 years now

handle at M1 and handle at Hoosier are equivalent----they are meaningless

is that difficult to grasp?
