All i am saying is three times as many people went to Monmouth and they barely beat Belmont handle

And thats not unusual. Monmouth regularly outdraws Belmont on the weekends in regard to on track attendance

Monmouth is going to need people betting to make this work. Going to the track is not enough they need people betting

Monmouth has always been able to get people to go to the track. Its a beautiful track with a real hard core crowd.

This is about their survival

Can already see from the responses here that it strikes a nerve with people. Not sure why

Not insulting anyone, not belittling Monmouth or what they are doing.

I want this to work.

If it doesnt there is no more Monmouth

People sometimes can't accept that anyone in New Jersey can do something right.

I plan on visiting M.P. at least 10 times this year....maybe even this week.

I like what they have done. Like it

And I plan on betting more this year at Monmouth

But I dont believe they will generate the necessarily handle to make this a long term viable stand alone solution. Slots is going to need to be part of it. Cant sustain the business model the numbers dont work.

PS: Probably going this weekend myself.

PPS: Have been going to Monmouth since 1982

The slots are coming most likely to the meadowlands as part of a revitilazation plan. A.C. will have to suck it up and move on.

Just think people need to think about these things and take critical eye. And not let media push something down their throats and not question

Feel comfortable in saying most want to see this work

Oh don't front. You don't have a gag reflex.
