A boutique meet would be a great idea for Monmouth. Let's see it get done, however.

If only the could helicopter people in so you wouldn't have to deal with the traffic.

The parkway in summer sucks but don't worry I will hook you up with the back roads. Plus you will be staying a cab ride away with an ocean front room at the Long Branch Pier..The traffic only sucks in the morning.. Monmouth really could be an awesome boutique meet. Let SPA run 4 NY bred races 2 stakes 2 Mdn Spl and claimer turf sprint. Monmouth willtake the allowance, opt claimers. claimers and stake here or there

Believe it or not... the MTH track is pretty fair most days. Favors the inside sometimes but a lot of times it's pretty straightforward.

I'm sorry, fair?

While I don't have any statistics to support this (which I am sure I will be ripped for), and I don't really feel like spending the hours to research it, I would have to say just from watching racing there for the past 20 + years that you want to be on the lead at this place. While it's not the inner merry-go-round at Ozone Park, it is very close IMO.

If you don't have early quicks, don't bother coming.
