Gulfstream Spring/Summer Handle Up

Racing at Gulfstream

Gulfstream Park's Spring/Summer Meets, which concluded Sept. 29, boasted a $50 million increase in total handle over the previous year. Total handle for the Summer Meet was $369 million, compared to $345 million in 2017, while the Spring Meet saw a $26-million jump from the previous year. Total handle over the meets was $783 million.

“We're pleased with the way our Spring and Summer Meets continue to attract horsemen throughout North America and bettors both on-track and online,” said Gulfstream General Manager Bill Badgett. “With the Florida Sire Stakes and Florida summer racing program continuing to grow, and with more entertainment options throughout the entire year at the facility, we're excited about the future of year-round racing at Gulfstream as well as this fall season at Gulfstream Park West.”

Racing returns to Gulfstream for its signature Championship Meet beginning Dec. 1.
