Default Monmouth handle & attendance

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.

I'm sure his on track winnings more than offset those losses.

I appreciate it. And I give you full credit for being the PREEMINENT BEYERIAN thoroughbred historian.

Just to be recognized by the innovative inventor of The Fat Charts is truly an honor.

You mean those same charts that produced TWO $40 winners this past week and a $60 winner last month (among many others)?

Btw, I considered your suggesting to put pace numbers on them then decided against it given my results utilizing them as is.

Keep using the Beyers and pace numbers religiously, it suits you. Though you might actually want to go on a limb and discuss a 'live' race every once in a while.

No one cares.

But cool.

I'm showing a top selection flat bet profit for the 3rd straight year with picks I'm making 24 hours ahead of time - before scratches and odds can even be viewed.

Even with my flawed handicapping methods and all.

I don't know, but I'd pay $100 for a ringside seat with those two in the Octagon.

You're trying to use Mike the Eunuch logic on me? Is there any reason why someone who spends a good deal of their time handicapping a SINGLE track shouldn't be able to do very nicely, even with the prescratch situation? If I were watching every replay at a single track and following every horse, how many winners do you think I'd pick a week: Beforehand or otherwise? And not just me, just about anybody.

I don't doubt your ability. I just get tired of the same nonsense posts here.

I'm going to give TFM the benefit of the doubt ... and say I'll take TFM minus the points.

TFM would tap out 3 seconds before the match started .... not that I wouldn't either.

I'm here solely to entertain myself ... not you.

For me, this is like masturbation in a way.


Sorry you had to find out this way.
