Sporting events being conducted without spectators are something we’ll be talking about for generations. The first industries to see this transpire are the UFC, NASCAR and horse racetracks around the country.
As we highlighted last week, many tracks around the country reopened this past weekend. The results were nothing short of amazing as tracks saw handles increase at record levels. It’s another indication that bettors are back and willing to come out strong following the COVID-19 shutdown.
While the only noise you can hear are horses, hoofbeats and the track announcer, the handle numbers reveal sizable audiences around the country were interested in wagering on the races from the comforts of their homes.
