ACRC could easily support a two-to-three week April/May meeting leading into the Monmouth season. Also, perhaps a later season turf meeting shortly after Labor Day? Lastly, there is nothing that says that the main course could not be used also.

I would not hold my breath for Monmouth to sweep in as the savior. They arent exactly swimming in money.
The meadowlands meets are happening because they need to keep their foot in the door for when the northern NJ casino becomes a reality, IF it comes to the meadowlands.
While I enjoyed the ACRC meets lets not forget that the place is mostly dilapidated and would need a ton of work if you ever were serious about having a real meet. Fixing and maintaining the dirt course alone would probably cost in the millions.
