Assume the TVG cash register jingled with other US web-based platforms which pay TVG a respectable fee on every bet they handle from Churchill Downs. From Churchill's press release: Fans who gathered at Churchill Downs and at racetracks and simulcast outlets throughout North America wagered a record $99,348,706 on the Derby, which was won over a sloppy track by Someday Farm's Smarty Jones. The wagering total for the Kentucky Derby itself rose by nearly 13 percent from the 2003 total of $87,968,037. Total betting on the 12-race Kentucky Derby Day card at Churchill Downs rose by nearly two percent to $142,775,857 from the previous North American record of $140,379,426 wagered on a 12-race Derby Day program in 2003.
