Meadows sets all time handle record

Hollywood Casino at The Meadows set its all-time, single-card handle record on Thursday, July 2.  Boosted by a couple of carryovers and guaranteed pools, along with high east coast temperatures that resulted in a lower number of tracks racing for the day, The Meadows handled $1,686,400 for its 13-race card.

The previous record was $1.53 million, set in July of 2023 on Adios Day.

“We would like to thank all of the horseplayers that made us a big part of their day,” said Michael Carter, Director of Racing.  “And a huge thank you to our horsemen for making this card happen today.  We know it’s been a difficult couple of days for everyone, but we greatly appreciate their help and perseverance.”

The Meadows will be back in action on Friday evening at 5:10pm, with a 12-race card featuring Pennsylvania Sire Stake and PA Stallion Series races for two-year-old filly pacers.
