Why wouldn't it? It only get used for one month a year. The rest of the time those damn geese are fertilizing it.

Both these tracks really need to be shut down for TB racing. Until/unless they're able to offer FAIR racing, you're not going to get many players interested in what they have to offer. Even the diehard speed-freak dirt players have their limits; apparently.

Too much other, more interesting/challenging racing being offered at other venues to keep these subpar tracks around just for the sake of having racing in New Jersey.

Take the lead; never look back; get a high Beyer. Right

True, just saying. Run turf only night cards on weekends.

I don't think that they can fill 2 nights of turf races. Also I personally don't think that they need to race 5 days a week (Monmouth for that matter as well). Maybe a solution could be to race 3 days a week. Friday and Saturday night cards along with either a Monday or Tuesday afternoon card to take advantage of NY being dark.

It would be ugly if they got a bunch of rain
