I could not find the mutuel handle for (Interstate wagers .. or State based
betting parlors in Arkansas ? Showed a total handle of about 2 million bucks on Saturday. So what am I missing here :bang: In today's world ..the
2 mill would be listed under Chump Change.

Also not listed is their handle on their instant racing machine, Friday it was $1,150,974, I don't think this total includes their slot and video poker totals.

I figure their handle totals will be down a lot this year, because Oaklawn joined Tracknet. Oaklawn's best simulcast customer last year was Youbet: but apparently Oaklawn doesn't care about Youbet or its customers.

Also I figure Oaklawn's on track totals will be down also. Oaklawn seems to think its local Arkansas horseplayers are their birthright instead of customers. Oaklawn went several years excluding its horseplayers from its player reward program that it provided its instant racing-slots customers, they just recently included the horseplayers. I figure Oaklawn's second-class treatment of its local horseplayers will be reflected in its on track handle.
