Where are the horses?.....Full fields needed to boost "handle" ( the American term for tote turnover)

From Geoff Gural, saviour of the Meadowlands:

The bad news is that because all of our income is derived from wagering and horse racing we need to continue to generate handles of over $3 Million dollars every Friday and Saturday. In order to do that we require full fields and since we are only racing two days beginning next week essentially we need 250 horses each weekend to fill both cards. Last weekend we had twenty-five fewer horses racing over the weekend and as a result our handle declined by $508,000.

Have no idea what the Bellino's would have paid for Polak but he's recouped around $30K first up and I think the Nth American's will be looking at purchasing more horses at the moment with our dollar so low as previously mentioned.
