I want Monmouth to be around for another 100 years

It is a great track with a solid fan base

But I am not going to fall into trap and say all is well based on today and how blue skies ahead. Doesnt take much for anyone to write article saying look what handle is compared to last year. Anyone can do that. Just looking a little deeper

Frankly its not nearly as impressive as it appears on paper

That being said it can certainly improve. And it will need to

Because if it doesnt Monmouth will not exist. They are committed to paying out a ton in purses and need people to bet every day.

I feel confident in saying folks who run Monmouth- who are sharp- are not backslapping each other in celebration and saying al l their problems are over
Dude no one is saying that Monmouth or racings problems are solved. But your theory of people need to bet every day or their on track handle was not strong enough is misguided. It was one very successful day despite the largest non NJ batting outlet not taking any bets on the card. As for your idea that it needs to improve? Huh? If each of the remaining 49 days are as successful as today, it will be considered a wild sucess.
