While the state government talks only of raising all sorts of taxes and fees, it's nice to see Canterbury thinking of it's customer base. Good for the 'hometown' track!

i'm definitely going to pay more attention to them this summer. It's a nice track, i'm glad they're rattling cages to get people to take notice.

Plus, its Grunder's summer home

I love the place. The only knock against was a real problem with horse population last meet. I hope that improves this year. Take out is meaningless when you are running 5-6 horse fields (though the turf races seem to fill).

Great interview with Randy Sampson on ATR today. Its time to see if Canterbury can show the country that reduced takeout will significantly increase handle.

Canterbury has raised the bet. Are players gonna fold, call or raise?


Its time for players to put there money where there mouth is.

Mark..

Thanks for listening. Was pleased to get Sampson in advance of their season and herald their widespread initiatives promoting their product at all levels. Hope they have strong results.

One sidebar that we didn't get to Thursday was this enhancement to odds presentation:

10-Second Odds Updates: In conjunction with United Tote, Canterbury Park will offer win odds that update every 10-seconds when there is less than 10 Minutes to Post. This change will provide Canterbury Park and its customers the most real-time win odds in North American horse racing. We believe that this advancement in the tote system will greatly benefit customers as they will constantly have access to the most current win odds.

Field size averaged 7.98 horses in 2015.
