Hoosier Park
« on: Today at 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.
