Lebanon, OH — The 2024 meet has been a successful one so far for Miami Valley. The entry box is strong, field size is averaging nine-plus, 14 races a day and the handle is up.

Bettors have been tuning in as MVG’s handle is currently up $3.3 million over 22 cards compared to 2023, which was the strongest year in MVG’s short history.

Just a short while ago, back on Jan. 17, a new all-time handle was achieved, reaching $870,833. Now, just two weeks later, after flirting with the handle record again last Thursday, a warm Sunday afternoon set the stage for a truly exciting accomplishment, the first million dollar night at MVG in its 10-year history. A grand total of $1,087,501 was wagered on the 14-race card.

The Sunday card saw plenty of value as only three betting favorites came home winners. It’s a common theme at MVG, as only 40 percent of the betting favorites win. Solid horses and a very talented driver colony, one that has its top four drivers separated by only two wins, lead to very competitive races.

You can watch those races every Sunday through Thursday with a first post of 4 p.m. Visit us on the web at Miamivalleygaming.com for more information.
