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...
