opening day handle between last year and this year looked very close to me. that should be a major disappointment to Keeneland management. the field sizes looked bigger and new withholding rules took effect.
i believe that not only will this takeout hike effect Keeneland, it will wind up hurting the whole industry from all over.
Keeneland needs to be a showcase meet in order to generate interest in the game so that horses are bred and sold. if by the end of the short meet you see a 5% decline in handle it will tell you that the game is in big trouble thanks to the people in this game that make the corporate decisions.
