This a Twitter post from o_crunk yesterday (Sunday):

"SAR handled $19.5M yesterday, their lowest Saturday handle since 8/11/2012. Every day this week has been down 20% y/o/y at SAR. DMR handled $21.6M yesterday for their big Pacific Classic card, a marginal increase over the same card last year which handled $20.8M."

In fairness, the unexpected storm Saturday decimated field sizes (even some MTO's did not start because they had not shipped up from Belmont), and the year-over-year comparison is affected by this having been Travers week last year. Interesting that, even with the storm, Saratoga handle was only $2 million less than the Pacific Classic card.

Going forward, I wonder, even after the pandemic, how many horsemen will decide not to ship up to Saratoga from Kentucky now that purses there have slots support.
