Free admission, parking & seating. Kudos to track management.

Just looked at the opening day card. All claiming races, most haven’t won in years shipping from Monmouth with half going from dirt to turf, small purses none above $18k. This meet is not going to generate any buzz. Why bother?

10 to 14 horse fields, 15% takeout across the board, turf races. It sounds to me like something a lot of bettors will like. Tampa Bay does pretty good handle with claiming races.

When they run harness they always have free parking and admission, as well as most seating options. It is nice they do that. I think I remember back in the day they charged $1 for admission and $1 a program. Now I think they just charge $2 or $3 for a live program

Yes they racing itself isn't spectacular, but if you look at some of the past turf meets and payoffs, you can get some very good prices on horses. The 15% take only makes it better. I will take a couple stabs this Saturday after playing Santa Anita and Belmont

large fields. Lots of opps to find value.
Not seeing a problem.
Just a little more difficult to find the correct horses.
Sharper players should rejoice because there will be a lot of dead money in the pools.

I'll be on board baby! If you understand pedigree and the general nature of turf racing and are getting these takeouts it's hog heaven.

Thanks for the heads up sounds great!

After handicapping today's 2nd race I find out my ADW TVG doesn't cover the track and is probably the reason I don't recall ever making a bet there.

Agreed!

Plus now a dime super that pays $3000 will now pay $3400.

That's a HUGE difference.

I can't either, TVG is the only ADW that New Jersey residents are allowed to join.

It's raining there now, but if you hurry you can catch the last race.

There is a huge problem with reduced takeout. You have to cash a ticket for the reduced takeout to matter. Wasn't so fortunate. But at least I get to feel the joy of supporting the cause.

Thanks. I don't get it. Is Meadowlands always reported as Monmouth? These are two separate tracks, correct?

Not surprising, payoffs were decent. Looking forward to playing Saturday if the rain holds off
