So far this year it has been.

Who cares?

This 2010 Monmouth meet is its own entity and should be judged that way. Who cares about anything else?

Management at a track like Presque Isle - where table games just started yesterday - would love to run a 25 day meet again instead of a 100 day meet.

They would gladly quickly give away the fortune the state requires them to give away in purses.. and be done with racing like that.

Total pipe dream that I just pulled out of my ass time .... but I'd love to see all of these miserable racinos work together and run shortened 20 to 25 day super meets for huge money.

Have Delaware give all their purses away in 20 racing days, Presque Isle give them all away in 20 racing days, Mountaineer give them all away in 25 racing days, Charles Town give them all away in 25 racing days, Indiana Downs 25 racing days, Hoosier 15 racing days, Prarie Meadows 25 days, Delta Downs 15 days, Sunland 20 days, Zia Park 15 days, Finger Lakes 20 days. Philly Park can be the place that goes heads up with Saratoga and Del Mar and run for six or seven weeks.

Let those 12 miserable casino tracks band together and form one year round super meet that would surely generate a blockbuster brand of racing for bettors.
