Spiderman - You only scraped the surface!
The one bright light on the east coast tournament scene is Monmouth. I suspect the reason is that they run other contests as well as feeder contests to the qualifying events.
As for "You only scraped the surface!"
The following tracks no longer offer NHC Qualifying Contests.
Remington Park, Sam Houston, Portland Meadows, Laurel, Sunland Park, Indiana, Ellis Park (Brick & Mortar), Hoosier Park, Retama, River Downs, Turf Paradise, Delaware, Philadelphia (Parx) Park, Calder, Tampa Bay, Arlington Park, Prairie Meadows, Colonial Downs, Golden Gate.
The following tracks have substantially reduced the number of Qualifying spots or are considering eliminating contests altogether.
Emerald Downs, Surfside Race Place, Fairplex Park, Canterbury Park, Thistledown, Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, Beulah Park,
These lost Brick & Mortar contests are being replaced by the higher NTRA "hold" online contests. It is expected that there will be 260-280 online spots offered in 2012 and this number will increase again in 2013 if more Brick & Mortars leave the fold.
