What a role reversal!

Do drivers care if they do two turns or four turns?? It would seem not.

Staying in NJ for a moment...what does the future hold for Monmouth and also for Freehold?
drivers don't care about the turns, they care about the purse money. however i believe it takes a little while for them to get accustomed to the 1/2 mile tracks.

brennan seems to have figured it out at yonkers but i still favor the guys like bartlett and manzi who have more experience with the tighter turns and more importantly when to make your move.
