Dont forget the state owns the profitable NJbets which somehow seems to elude people talking about how much the tracks lost last year.

Even considering they are a monopoly

Will give you a hint cant get a good 4th starter in MLB for what they make

They are making enough to approve $16 million for an off track betting venue in Bayonne. That is Jeter money

Last figures I saw was they made between $4 and $5 million

Dont get me started on NJ betting parlors

How long have they been legal in NJ and how many are in place right now

A joke

Dysfunctional

Assume they made $4 or $5 million. Subtract that from the money the state supposedly lost on the tracks and the total is now 25% lower. We hear that racing is fighting for its survival in NJ yet a entity that supposedly only made a few million dollars statewide last year is going to pony up $16 million for another better parlor? Ok.

Sure all 17 of them

Tomorrow's card also looks very bettable. That Spend A Buck Stakes has a bevy of options, and who doesn't love $82k NJ-bred races? $75k maidens? Monmouth is so onto something.

Increasing the handle at ANY track has been extremely challenging for the last two plus years. The majority of tracks have seen a decline. For Monmouth to double there handle that they had last year in this marketpalce is unheard of.

Today was a huge success for Monmouth. They are either on something or onto something and I think they are onto something brilliant with what they have done to this meet.

100 k plus carryover on the .50 cent pick five another brilliant idea.
