One of the articles PA posted in the news section is about the record total handle of over $100 million for the Kentucky Derby.

Would be tough to figure out CD's take, but from the WPS, EX, TRI, SUPER pools, there was 91,040,814 bet on the Derby. That is not including any Double pools, pick3, pick4, or pick6 pools, or the futures pools.

...and the Special Admission & Reserved Seat fees, parking fees, sales of beer and the ever popular Mint Juleps, food, ....

With 160,000 plus on track, I'm sure they did real good this year!

All the seats are OWNED by whomever had them the previous year which translates to BIG BUCKS..better to watch it on the tube
