There is something very interesting that is part of the reason Monmouth is giving away less money than they claimed or planned.....their races aren't filling. They have been forced to run a number of cheaper races because $80K allowance races aren't filling. There just aren't enough " quality " horses to fill races regardless of purses. Theoretically, this should put a lot of other things in perspective, as if Monmouth can't fill these races with $80K purses, how can any other tracks. The reason you see cheap racing at every track is that there simply aren't horses to fill better races.
None of this is about what was " advertised. " Like I said before, it's a great case study for the industry.
