I'm glad Monmouth is getting some love from the DT crowd. I grew up there, so I am biased, but it is a beautiful facility. They really did an awesome job with the BC but the rain was a real tragedy. I hope we get another shot someday. I was so fired up to be 5 minutes from the BC and then the rain came...

Monmouth is a great facility. I was at the 2007 BC and enjoyed it thoroughly (luckily my seats were in the grandstand) and was also at Lone Star in 2004. The "2nd tier" tracks need a look especially considering their seating capacity will not really matter once Avioli ruins the BC brand.

Monmouth got knocked by alot of pundits because the weather stunk. The weather can stink anyplace and anytime. They did a good job with what they had.
I like the idea of moving the Cup and letting people that support the tracks/circuits around the country see it at home.

how about the dumpster? it causes more contraversy and problems than its worth. the guy is an idiot and his board has ruined it anyway. they are going BROKE to boot. once its gone, horses will actually have to race each other more than once a year. now many times the good ones "run away" from each other for the easiest win at short odds, until the breeders cup. then half don't show because of the polycrap! yeah, thats doing racing all kinds of favors, less competition, lower payouts and a bunch of bettors that don't give a sh^t. way to go breeders cup!
