What the Nation is saying about Wagering on U.S. Racing Continues to Plummet...

Handle down $200m in June is a steep decline... but if you cancel 4 cards at Churchill Downs, Hollywood Park, Golden Gate... that is about $100m right there... plus run one less race a day at several tracks... and what do you expect??? This goes to show that if there is good racing, and stuff to bet on it, the players will fire through...
