Halfway Home At Monmouth

I don't know how much of an affect that it would have on the meet, but they have been blessed weather wise. Not sure if they lost any turf races this past weekend, but for the most part the weather has been almost perfect.

Fair enough but how much of that increase is just because of weather? For instance I've been there twice on weekends when its rained so far so it hasn't been perfect.

Let's call a spade a spade NJ (the State) gets it! NY State wants to figure out why employee A at NYRA makes 100k a year but is willing to let Union employee at OTB make 100k a year without working a half a day nevermind a full day?

The half day concept is a brilliant stroke of genious in increasing the handle.

I really am not sure, because they haven't (to my knowledge) had a card that has been devestated by weather and weather related scratches as of yet. But then again, the new Monmouth now has AE lists and MTO entries, the old Monmouth would scratch down to 3 horse fields. But the good weather has probably helped with the attendence and on track handle, but I would have no idea to what extent as far as numbers would go.
