ya, other than the fact the race that Hands On won had a purse the size of the total daily distribution at River, and Delaware River has won more money in his career than River Downs gives out in a season. So they are real hard knockers, not the sad type you see running at Beulah and River picking up a couple hundred bucks to run 3rd for $2,500

Just reading the Beulah & River Downs charts is saddening. :(
