But with Delaware being open year round for training doesnt that give a guy a better option? He can stay year round at Delaware and ship to Philly or where ever in the months when Delaware isnt open. Before Delaware went year round training i could see a problem with finding stalls after their meet ends but not anymore.

It's not like Delaware to Laurel or Baltimore are long ships.

Indeed it does! FWIW - Delpark charges a daily fee for their stalls when they aren't racing.

If you are stabled at Delpark year-round, I don't think you want the expense of vanning to MD to run for crappy purses. But, like you said, it does open up running at Philly for nice purses if you can't get stalls there.

Hell all the track charge for stalls now in the off season. One will get slick soon and try to charge during the meet.
and if you think MD purses are crappy try TP.
