Seriously, you guys don't like playing PHA? I think that's one of my favorite tracks to play. I think it's a great wagering opportunity.

I am having trouble determining if you are serious or not. PHA has some of the highest takeouts in the country, so I guess if you can overcome the large early disadvantage it might not be too bad.

This will be easy money because you'll be able to single the Scott Lake horse in 3 or 4 of the legs.

Also, this is one of the rare instances where "guaranteed pool" actually means something beneficial to the bettor and is more than an empty ploy to get people to bet more.

They're probably stalling in hopes of getting more horses stabled at Delaware. Seriously, I'll be surprised if they're able to find a challenging race at DEL within the time constraints that doesn't scratch down to three or four horses. And this is coming from a BIG Delaware fan (okay, maybe I've gotten a little bitter).

They're not stalling at all. New Jersey has failed to get their end taken care of... Delaware, NYRA and Greenwood got their portions done.

To me, Philly has the least interesting cards in the country, but if the goal is to just be able to survive races, then that's a lot different situation.

Well.. here's some more news on this thing...

Just spoke to John Hines at Monmouth. This was supposed to have kicked off 2 weeks ago, but there are a few niggling contractual hiccups STILL being worked out..

They expect to kick off Saturday and should have a definite answer by tomorrow. I will have Dennis Dowd (NJSEA) or Hines on the Show tomorrow at 4:30 with details of how the bet should be called to tellers ("Belmont 7th.. Special P6" or whatever...) and which platforms/areas are taking the bet...

The format of 2/2/1/1 will rotate around, so it won't always be 2 races at BEL/MTH, etc... They are seeding it Week One with the $100k but expect it blows through that thereafter..

Sounds great. Can't guarantee that I'll play, but I'll certainly give it a look and do some sort of write-up for it.

UPDATE: JUST SPOKE TO SAL SINATRA AT PHA PARK... PAPERWORK NOT COMPLETE FROM NJSEA SO BET WILL NOT START THIS SATURDAY...

ALSO OF NOTE, RACE SEQUENCE WILL BEGIN AT BELMONT 6TH...

Really, I don't mind Philly Park at all, and the 60-6 sounds like a glorious multi-race, multi-track wagering opportunity. I'm hopeful they have this in place by the time June 7th rolls around.
