Darin Zocalli tweeted that handle was $8.5 million with a few more countries left to report...

I cross checked the handle figs posted on thebigm.com and ustrotting.com and they match.
Reported all sources was just a hair under $7 million.
There were 6 races where the total handle was over $400k, two of $500k, two of $600k topped by the handle on the Hambletonian of $880k..
According to this link, the announced crowd was 20,774..
Gural and co made a BIG mistake charging 5 bucks to get in plus whatever the parking fee was. The weather was cooler than normal and that could have drawn more fans had the admission been and parking been a bit less pricey

There was no parking fee. They've always charged $5 to get in. Charging another $10 for the fixed seats outside you can argue though. And I would agree with that. Although if you get their early you can easily find a bench or table to sit.
