Weekends at Monmouth are lovely, plenty of families enjoying a very clean and healthy environment, The 30 day meet was outstanding, wouldn't it be intelligent to revisit these extremely abbreviated meets with as bloated purses as possible without slot or government money? So 5 claimers run for 21 instead of 30 whats the harm in trying again? As you have since said bettors loved that meet, big pools, full fields, and lots of variety, I understand they used a bunch of casino money to bloat a lot of the meet and it was a fantasy but there has to be a sweet spot for much shorter meets that attract bigger fields because of larger more concentrated purses. Shouldnt this always be about building handle? Doesnt high handle fix lots of problems?
