Bill Shanklin on his Business of Racing website said before the meet if it fell more than 8.1% they'd lose money. I don't know where he got that figure.

Analyzing this data isn't overly difficult, imo. Occam's Razor is usually fine.

Handle overall, per race, and by entry at Keeneland is down. Keeneland raised takeout, and the theory, as well as...

Crunk's data, or Jeff's under the link he posted to Belmont, can be analyzed to smooth out weather etc. You can see Belmont is up nicely...

Crunk's done a good job this meet - in past meets too, but this one is obviously drawing more eyeballs.
