Perhaps but it is a big competitive advantage to have a more permanent facility. I guess there isn't much difference between closing Oct 1 or Nov 1- at some point one has to pick up and leave or find a place to board- but man it would be nice to have year-round capabilities for 300-500 horses.
I like the Palm Meadows model. Run once per month you are essentially rent-free at worst. For Monmouth, pay $10/day off season- say $3k for the year-and get $500 starters bonus you get out if you run 6 times over an 18 week period.
