"We are excited to share our good fortune with the horsemen and are hopeful these positive trends will continue as we head into our bigger races."

There has been a 42 percent increase in attendance through the initial 16 days of racing and a 40 percent bump in on-track handle. Off-track wagering has gone up 47 percent.
