It was a lot of fun that Spring Meet but still they could have fixed it up a little more. I think NJ could use a two month AC meet in the Spring, really now it is all Monmouth. As many write I guess it was the owner, they did not allow njbets/TVG account wagering which is a slap in the face to their customers.

Place is a certified dump but the 6 day meet was perfect- got both horses and people "legged up" for Monmouth. For the past few years AC served as the kickoff to my personal live racing season. Going there and seeing/smelling horses, smell cigar and cigarette smoke and the dynamic characters that attended that meet was the best waist-up sensory pleasure a Northeast horseplayer emerging from winter could ask for.
Whiff good comment on the oldest TVs on the planet. The oldest TV title now belongs to the ones in Monmouth Park's Picnic Area.
Big M should pick up the April turf meet. Maybe run on Wed-Thu (Parx dark) for 3 weeks 4/22-23, 29-30 and 5/6-7. If they wanted to get ballsy maybe they run day-night DH on Oaks/Derby day too!
