I hope they find a way to keep Fort Erie open. There's a lot of history at the track and plenty of horsemen (and horses) to think about.<BR/><BR/>I'm also hoping a few Canadian readers might take a peak at the interview with Alex Brown on my Triple Dead Heat blog and help out a few race horses in need!<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-63264266495401768332008-10-22T12:22:00.000-04:002008-10-22T12:22:00.000-04:00The Pick 6 situation is pretty funny at Woodbine.W...The Pick 6 situation is pretty funny at Woodbine.<BR/><BR/>Who are they kidding?<BR/><BR/>Woodbine is NOT the big time, no matter what people who work there tell themselves.<BR/><BR/>They would be better off lowering the take on the pick 4 to under 15% like they had in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-84921211041252613222008-10-21T11:15:00.000-04:002008-10-21T11:15:00.000-04:00RG, I didn't write the article, but tracks range f...RG, I didn't write the article, but tracks range from anything between 12% live handle to over 50% (as in the case of Woodbine who owns their own ADW).<BR/>I'm not sure what % LA Downs gets live.<BR/>But live handle is probably 5 times as valuable as ADW handle to a track like Fort Erie for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-84865476947850832852008-10-21T10:35:00.000-04:002008-10-21T10:35:00.000-04:00I wouldn't call a 6% increase in on track handle m...I wouldn't call a 6% increase in on track handle modest for La Downs. I don't know for certain but I would guess that a dollar increase in on track betting carries a lot more bang than a dollar increase in simulcast or ADW wagering.<BR/>If anyone could tell me for a typical track with $100,000 wagered in each of the three categories, on track,simulcast and ADW what % in each category goes for purses, to the state in the form of taxes and is retained by the home track, simulcast sites and ADWs.<BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-60752668365956912702008-10-20T14:40:00.001-04:002008-10-20T14:40:00.001-04:00hEY, JAKE THE RAKE COULD HAVE RIDDEN HAWLEY'S MOUN...hEY, JAKE THE RAKE COULD HAVE RIDDEN HAWLEY'S MOUNT AND WON...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-18049584600164182752008-10-20T14:40:00.000-04:002008-10-20T14:40:00.000-04:00hEY, JAKE THE RAKE COULD HAVE RIDDEN HAWLEY'S MOUN...hEY, JAKE THE RAKE COULD HAVE RIDDEN HAWLEY'S MOUNT AND WON...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-43349371832668883872008-10-20T13:25:00.000-04:002008-10-20T13:25:00.000-04:00Wasn't like Sandy was on Ghostzapper, he was the m...Wasn't like Sandy was on Ghostzapper, he was the mild 5/2 choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-35724832435759476892008-10-19T20:21:00.000-04:002008-10-19T20:21:00.000-04:00Im giving the Sand man more credit,Sandy Hawley wo...Im giving the Sand man more credit,Sandy Hawley worked 'Catch the Luck'<BR/> in a 1.00 h for samson farms prior to his legends romp.
