@ShaunMorash No one cares

Garage charged me a pick up ‘early fee’ not listed in the ap. And now this trip home. Literal insanity

@1MinutetoPost Funny

1. Lower takeout 2. Eliminate Rebates 3. Upgrade the Tote 4. Remove direct access/Batch betting 5. Offer better on-track promotions/rewards

@atTheTrack7 @Jackpotkimm Then I missed it , my apologies

@davidhaaker1 @Jackpotkimm $10-$12 Million is my estimate for their typical on-track handle, this year with 5,000 people it was substantially less, which was the point I was trying to make.

Industry touts talking Preakness handle. 🤤

@atTheTrack7 @Jackpotkimm 12 million. 5 k on track attendance 2400 per capita. , you sure about that ?

@Jackpotkimm They moved the race and had 5,000 people on-track as opposed to 50,000. At $100 Million in handle, about $10-$12 Million is probably on-track. Being down 1% really is not bad.

@InsideThePylons @garypaljr The only guarantee is that they are just chasing welfare money at oak grove .

@garypaljr Really going out on a limb with that $50K guarantee? Nothing more racing than under-promoting a pool at $50K when it’ll for sure be $75K and might get to $100K.

Running it back tomorrow at Oak Grove with a $17k guarantee and a $50k guaranteed pool. Study up!

@GregReinhart Are you serious?

I know social media and message boards tried to write the eulogy for the Takter stable last year, but it appears they're going to be just fine.

@BergenBrennan Too late , the party is over

Monmouth Park announces it is reducing its horse racing takeout on all Pick 3 and Daily Double wagers to 15%. Pick 3 takeout was 25% and Daily Double was 19%. #njhorse

@atTheTrack7 @GregReinhart @TheMeadowlands You have a job to do and I respect that . I didn't personally attack you .of course it's your option to block someone after you post publicly and some rando speaks the truth

@davidhaaker1 @GregReinhart @TheMeadowlands Keep that kind of reply off my timeline. Thanks.

Handle at @TheMeadowlands is up $3.2 Million across the first four days of May. May 1: +$714k May 2: +$708k May 8: +$886k May 9: +909k

@SOAofNY Race 6 Tanuya devil

Will Jason Bartlett get career driving win 12,000 tonight at Yonkers Raceway? If you think so, take a guess which horse he will get it with and we'll send you an autograph SOA hat (3 winners will be selected randomly). You can look at the entries at racing.ustrotting.com/waag.aspx or look at the free program provided by us and the Empire Report race selections at soaofny.com

@atTheTrack7 @GregReinhart @TheMeadowlands Wow 3 million 2 days week , that's so great that now Jeff is begging his drivers and politicians for help .hope everyone enjoys the beer this weekend. Hopefully no one will be drinking while intoxicated

@GregReinhart @TheMeadowlands Ah right, post drag experiment was this time last year

@DougKass @CNBC Pathetic show !

So sick and tired of listening to these panelists only discuss their winners and watching moderators offer up their congratulations - as the network and "talking heads" polish up their images and try to improve their brands. One such panelist, just on @cnbc spent most of the time congratulating herself for her recent investments. But, what about $ZTS which she has bought all the way down... falling from $130 in January, 2026 to $77 today? The shares have fallen from $115 to $77 in the last week!!!! (Go to the Jan 7 2026 @HalftimeReport Final Trades and Recap as evidence). That is the benefit of not timestamping ideas. Emphasize the positives and ignore the negatives. I call B.S. Again. @KeithMcCullough @SamofAmerica @HedgeyeDJ

@harnesstimes @TimK1111 Pathetic matinee yr handle , as you pointed out , doesn't matter

@TimK1111 Doesn’t make business sense but they’re not in the business to make a profit or anything close.

My thoughts on Yonkers Raceway having 3:30pm post times on Saturdays for May and August. I think it’s good because it busier during the afternoon when you got NYRA, Monmouth, Gulfstream and Churchill Downs running. After Yonkers some drivers go to the Meadowlands and race.

@harnesstimes @SalVal69 @Hennigracing And mostly 2x a week at the meadowlands for less than 50 weeks

@davidhaaker1 @SalVal69 @Hennigracing Right I’m not buying that. They have 8 races on Opening Day and run 50 days.

🚨 All hands on deck, NJ horse folks! Governor Sherrill’s 2027 budget slashes the Thoroughbred purse subsidy from $10M to just $2.5M. This threatens Monmouth Park and NJ’s entire $4 billion equine industry — 13,000 jobs, $160M in taxes, and 176,000 acres of preserved farmland. Contact Governor Mikie Sherrill NOW at 609-292-6000 and tell your legislators: Restore the full $20M purse subsidy! It’s not just racing — it’s jobs, agriculture, and our heritage. #SaveNJRacing @Steve_Byk @MonmouthPark @DRFGrening @RepoleStable

@harnesstimes @SalVal69 @Hennigracing 13000 jobs to race a 2 shiity tracks ?

@SalVal69 @Hennigracing Good riddance. No more government hand outs.

@abusacca @MickBransfield 2 nd reason is probably illegal and they don't need to do it anyway

The combo example is excellent. The second one I have been saying all along that the best example of need to hedge is for a state regulated sports book. They take tons of wagers (moneyline, spread, totals, props, and parlays) and then can use the prediction markets to hedge their exposures

SIG's CFTC comment includes two actual examples of hedging on Kalshi sports contracts. Full letter below.

@GregReinhart What a rush

Burke duo tag teamed Race 4 at Oak Grove like the Road Warriors

@HorseToWatch @CraigMilkowski There is not going to be an inflation point , the tracks are in bed with the c a w s , it's that simple

T O Elvis was dazzling, and anyone who watched his last race can’t be surprised he just did that. But hopefully this race serves as a needed inflection point around the lack of regulation of CAW wagering, because that was as egregious as you’ll see.

@handicapper53 @Cangamble @Pullthepocket The rake was high

@Cangamble @Pullthepocket They tried exchange wagering here in NJ on 4NJBets a few yesrs ago There wasnt enough interest It died quickly

The only solution for growth when it comes to horse racing is much lower takeout rates and exchange trading on WPS. Horse racing is not only missing out big time, but it is dying under the status quo.

@BackAftaThis @JimmyMiting I'm sure Mike f made that parlay. Ask him how much it paid.

@JimmyMiting Imagine putting $10k on that? You could retire lol.

Anyone know what a Sixers/Blazers ML parlay paid tonight? 😳

@capjack2000 You mean they take bets ?

@davidhaaker1 If you shop lines you now have one less book to use.

Well this sucks...
