Saturday (May 1) night’s handle at The Meadowlands was a sensational $4,451,363, to come within $100,000 of the track’s biggest night of action during 2021. It’s not a coincidence that the big action occurred on Kentucky Derby Day, which, for many fans, is their favourite day of the year to come out and play.
Betting at The Big M was huge by a historical perspective not only last Saturday, but all of last weekend, when one compares the numbers to 10 years prior.
During Kentucky Derby Weekend 2011, The Meadowlands’ wagering menu offered only one bet with a low 15 per cent takeout. Over the course of those 23 races, total handle was $3,304,912, good for a per-race average of $143,691.
