50% takeout = 21% growth in handle!

The racing is very popular in Turkey, there is no doubt, and Beyer's comment about the jackpot bets is spot-on. Watch win pools in Turkey and they are literally a massive joke - almost no money. Pick six pools are by far the most popular, and good field sizes. Plus, they have Trakus.
If you've never seen racing from Turkey, you won't understand it, but the action translates. This is the 22-deep field for the Gazi Derby, the biggest domestic race of the year there. http://youtu.be/neIwYgsCxTs

It's a 21% handle gain from the same takeout level they had before.
They're all betting the pick six like it's a lottery.

HANA still ranked them ahead of Saratoga.

This is where Beyer shines IMO. His racing knowledge and experience isn't limited to the US.

" The International Federation of Horseracing Authorities calculated in 2009 that the earnings of the average horse in Turkey exceeded the cost of his upkeep by 18 percent. Owning racehorses is a winning investment."
