There is plenty of good about this meeting...but that doesn't preclude some from questioning certain things. We all learn from criticism.

No doubt. What I have heard from industry sources that isnt being talked about in public is the negative effect that Monmouth is having on the other meets handle. Since CDI refuses to publish handle figures it is hard to determine exactly how much Monmouth has cannibalized their handle at Calder, AP and CD. But I heard that the overall betting at those places isn't down that much but their handle on the CDI tracks is down significantly. The people are seemingly changing their betting habits to the detriment of the other tracks.
