I would have preferred their racing on Friday and Saturday nights and close on Wed for their four day race week but we will take what we can get.
Afternoon racing on Saturdays never really worked out when they ran double headers. It was back then when the racing meets paid a fee to the then owners of the track, Global REIT, a percent of the handle on Saturdays for their rent. There was no stipulation in the agreement that what would happen in the event of two race cards being run. The Meadows paid the percentage on the slowest day of the week (Matinee) while their best card, Saturday night, was not taxed at all for the rent.
