I think Monmouth is looking to extend this meet. I am not sure if they can move those meadowland all turf dates or cancel all together and run in Oceanport. They are currently scheduled to close that first football weekend. Stay open to capitalize on the NFL. Why run those dates at the meadowlands and have their book capitalize on it.

Lets face it, Joe.
right now Monmouth horse population for dirt races is shall we say low.
The meadowlands all turf meet allows for fuller fields.
last thursdays dirt races attracted 26 starters for 5 races.
Thats pitiful.
Better to run the meadowlands meet than to run short fields at Monmouth (6 days)
and start building to get more horses on the grounds for next summer.
That means raising purses by a lot.
drazin and the horsemen are starting to reap the rewards of sports betting.
time to start putting that $ to good use.
