I guess you can't please everybody.

Wake me when the apologists are done.

They have NO TRAKUS and NO POLY!

Just speed-favoring DIRT

MTH can SHOVE it up their ASS!

I'm sticking with high takeout, small field, and low pool size Presque Isle, as well as Frank Carl Calabrese Park, and WOODBINE!!!!!

I wonder if he has any idea that his two favorite tracks have the most usury takeout in North America.

When you are as good as he is, takeout doesn't matter.

Just ask him.

I hope Monmouth's card for Saturday is a bit more "elite" than Friday's slate, which has one allowance race. The rest of it is Evangeline by the Shore.

Evangeline is a nice betting track!! Good full fields and if you look good can find nice prices. One of my favorite betting tracks in fact it helped me bail out on derby day.

Me too. It's not a redboard when it pays so small. I was proud of myself for placing a wager that lasted two hours for a return of 2.7-1.

I would think UN Day will be a little more "elite"...It looks like there is about 1.6 MILLION up for grabs on Saturday alone.( ~1MM in the two stakes ).

It's interesting to merge this discussion with the one also taking place about Arlington. According to that conversation, Arlington can't fill allowance races. How can they if Monmouth, with all this money to give away, struggles to do this as well.

The whole thing is a great eye opener as to why racing isn't as good ( everywhere ) as many think it should be.
