Meadowlands Saturday1/5/13

[Dolfan]

On the wagering front, it was an incredible night at the Meadowlands as the 12-race program produced a total handle of $3,501,092, a percentage increase of 28% from this same day one year ago

Any theories as to why there was a 28% increase?

Jeff Gural and staff..full fields and the A-B-C classifications

I think somebody has a money tree somewhere , how in the hell did the Meadows handle over $1.2 million on Weds and $1.3 million on Thurs.

have to think Yonkers being closed adds a few bucks to the handle but the racing has been great with full fields and huge payoffs

the lack of 1 - 5 favorites certainly helps

Yonkers closed - that makes sense but wasn't YR closed last year 1st weekend?

Do you think ABC classified is the "fault" for driving away MacDaddi - uh, I mean 1-5's?
