For several years, The Meadowlands has been touting their nightly, weekly and yearly handle, which for 2024 averaged $3 million a night for the fourth time in the last five years, by far the biggest number in the sport in all of North America.
Although those numbers paint a rosy picture, they’re not the only elements that contribute to the finished work of art.
HRU spoke with Meadowlands president/chief executive officer Jeff Gural to get his thoughts on how 2024 went at harness racing’s top track…
“I think from a betting standpoint, we’re continuing to see a slow decline in our handle, mainly on-track and on the import side,” Gural said.
