If the intial question was good, why did you not respond like this then? If so, I would have had nothing to say.

Fair enough.

Less racing. Less tracks. Less purses...My guess just on general economic basis+horse decrease.

I like what Monmouth did, I know there is a lot to it and its not easy to just change, but I think thats the only way for NY. Look at the holiday card yesterday, it was HORRIBLE. 3, MAYBE 4 DAYS A WEEK MAX, is the way to go.

Yes and I wholeheartedly supported Monmouth....but those on this board who contend that they could only do it due to casino help were 100% correct. That is going away. And fast.

From what I can gather, they can change but they are hamstrung on a state level at least in terms of racing days...Others can comment further on this.

How about just some in general racing questions. BC has 50 cent pick 3's and 4's, what are signers on a 50 cent level? Should all my bets be made as 50 cent base, even if meant to be like 2$ or more, just punch it multiple times?
