From the Asbury Park Press
Saturday's total handle of $9,787,620 was the largest handle outside of a Haskell or Breeders Cup day in Monmouth's history

The previous largest handle was $9,357,444 set on opening day May 22,2010

Total handle was up 128.3%. On track handle up almost 54% and attendance was up 22.2%

We went over to Monmouth yesterday to catch the stake races. Great weather, good racing but blew the tri when I had everything but Take the Points. Still a nice couple of hours hanging with the family and watching the horses. Heading back on Monday

Some people in Joisey are coming back.

Sadly, the dude I know who lets me use his NJ account pissed through a few thousand in the last 10 days ... will be interesting to see how many times he reloads and comes back firing.

This just in:

For the present MTH meet:

29 plays, 41% win %, +137% ROI. (more than DOUBLE my money).

And I wasn't going to play this track.

This is the kind of **** that should be relevant to horseplayers. Not how many locals made their way down to the track or how much money was bet or how big the fields are or how good the stock was or how fast they ran, or how many well bred babies were entered or which of those babies' sires had higher Beyers, etc.
