I would love to see a Monmouth backed venture use that turf course as an attraction for the Parx-based crew in addition to those from the mid-Atlantic. Perhaps this could substitute or augment the meeting held on the turf at the Meadowlands?

ACRC could easily support a two-to-three week April/May meeting leading into the Monmouth season. Also, perhaps a later season turf meeting shortly after Labor Day? Lastly, there is nothing that says that the main course could not be used also.

I would not hold my breath for Monmouth to sweep in as the savior. They arent exactly swimming in money.
The meadowlands meets are happening because they need to keep their foot in the door for when the northern NJ casino becomes a reality, IF it comes to the meadowlands.

While I enjoyed the ACRC meets lets not forget that the place is mostly dilapidated and would need a ton of work if you ever were serious about having a real meet. Fixing and maintaining the dirt course alone would probably cost in the millions.

Recent Revel buyer Glenn Straub appears bullish on Atlantic City in general buying up tracts of property...

[tanner12oz]

Revel was sold for 3% of what it was built for

[The Devil]

Alot of people will be glad the hear this

[jenroypa]

unfortunately the Press is linking Straub to buying everything. they said the same thing about Bader Field last week.
