Box,

Good point.There are management info systems that racing execs look at. They can compare hub to hub flow handle from different time periods.They can monitor batch/computer generated wagers very closely, whale watching.As you know, wagers come in from all over the world these days thru a hub(a pool integrity concern imo)

Tough to get past recent handle trending down at SPA, Del Mar, Kee, Belmont meets along with other smaller venues.Breeders Cup handle was up and Del Mar did well with its initial fall meet replacing Hollywood.

Good news for players is that Gulfstream Park expects it's coming winter meet to be it's best ever with over 5,300 stall applications, a record.Several stalwart NY outfits bailing out of winter Aqu meet in favor of GP portends horrific quality at Aqueduct.
