[Derby] unsurprising drop in racing handle
You might believe from what you read on the Internet that everyone is playing Will Rogers and Fonner during this epidemic when so many tracks are closed, but you would be wrong. "With only a handful of tracks still racing due to the coronavirus, wagering on the sport took a huge hit in the month of March, falling by 22.58% over 2019 figures. A total of $731 million was bet during the month, a $214 million drop from 2019 figures. The numbers were released Friday by Equibase." https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/coronavirus-impacts-march-thoroughbred-economic-indicators/ _______________________________________________ Derby mailing list Posting: Derby at lists.derbylist.com Sub/Unsub: http://lists.derbylist.com/listinfo.cgi/derby-derbylist.com
