They haven't raced in about 6 months there. Everybody moved to a track that was open.

Loved the Old Homestead. It is my understanding that it has burned down.

How are the horsemen surviving? I see a few racing at other tracks but months of no income can't last forever

I was thinking that many of them were collecting unemployment plus the $600 per week extra that was being given until July , some were making more $$ than when they were racing ..

fuck them all. they can starve to death or get jobs at 7-11
We got no 7-11 here in Monticello.. Only Walmart, McDonalds and Shoprite
-
In saying they are "ready to rock' that really means they are ready to continue to bleed cash just as they have from day one. A hopeless venture, in a hopeless, poverty sticken area of NY. Zero chance to survive moving forward.
True dat, Resorts saved money by being closed

no table games?

I agree the casino would love to dump racing but isn’t there a contract that was signed between empire and the horseman ? No casino unless there is racing ? Or do you think their attitude is sue us for violating the agreement ..

You definitely have a contract. I'm sure it runs out soon and I don't know what happens after that. The racetrack will probably just look like the rest of 17B. This isn't Roosevelt Raceway land but with the mass exodus from New York City, it might be good for a development of town houses.

THE GAMING COMMISSION HAS APPROVED THOSE DIVIDERS?
IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THOSE MATERIALS AND INSTALLATION REQUIRED GAMING COMMISSION APPROVAL.
WHEN DID THE COMMISSION MEET?

Just a question.
How and when did you acquire almost 50,000 posts.

Just a side note to your above comment regarding the land.. My buddy is a realtor in Monticello fir many years.. He told me that the pandemic has been the best thing fir Monticello real estate in the last 40 years.. Everything that comes on the market especially if by the lakes are selling at basically full asking prices immediately .. All the city dwellers looking for that country escape

You are 100% correct. It is like 9/11 all over again, as far as demand for second homes, within a 3 hr drive from the NYC/NJ area. After 9/11, I owned a home in a lakeside community. in 2.5 years I sold it for 2x my purchase price. I bought another with lake frontage in the same community and sold that for 50% profit in 2 years, after 3 days on the market.
Vovid 19 is changing the way families value their time together. In my area, if you purchased a pool this year, it will not be installed until next year.
Monticello being well within this are may finally get some of this action. But, I would not invest a dime. It is still a sketchy are and a poor risk.

TALK ABOUT A BRAGGART PIECE OF SHIT REAL ESTATE RED BOARDER
YOU WANT US TO CONGRATULATE YOU OR WHAT?

No, scumbag. Read the post once again and if you come to the same conclusion, crawl back to your trailer and go fuck yourself. That's if your sister does not get to jealous.

They may be selling houses in the area, but drive down Broadway and see all the empty storefronts and one knows that this IS A DEAD AREA and has been for many years. Slums of Sullivan county.

Despite all the negative rhetoric, Monticello will regain it's little time niche and produce solid off track numbers! And, local horseman and businesses will get a much needed boost!
-
It might be a bit optimistic to think you can abandon your customers for 7 months and believe they will just return to your product.
If marketing and advertising is needed to entice the return of your customers, who will develop and fund a campaign? The track? Horsemen?
-
Thank you to "the Master" for a positive comment. Monticello Raceway is like Seabiscuit - small in size, kicked around, laughed at, etc. - but he was tough and had the last laugh. Monticello will rise from the ashes shortly and all you negative contributors will be the first in line to bet their program.
God Bless the horse people there and the staff that puts racing together for them!

Truth!, Problem is.. he’s been calling races there for 35 years and hasn’t gotten a raise ever! They can’t find someone els to call the races that cheap!

I hope ur right. Horseplop needs the track to open so ploppers have more drivers and trainers to complain about ..

Nothing changes so we don't need it to open to complain.
Bruce Aldrich jumps more horses at the start than Andy Miller. I don't think he's really that bad so he's a degenerate cheater.
Jim Taggart just sucks.
Lounsbury lost his chemistry set before the track closed so it isn't that he forgot how to train. POS
Larry Stalbaum (Who was kicked out about 6 times) will dominate if he returns.
Andrew the race fixer will hand out envelops as soon as the pools start to grow.
Management will treat the handful of fans that show up like shit. They don't want you to return and they don't hide this feeling but they will lie to your face and
say all of the changes are being done for you.

Howard Oil has been there for 35 plus years already and I remember him as a teenager at Roosevelt standing on the lower level calling the races to get noticed..Make fun of him all you want but he does the best he can with the boring racing product he has to announce..It's not an easy job.
-
He and that nasally tone are god awful,,, the guy at pocono might be better

He should just announce like the job description. Reading lines from the program at the half is annoying and obnoxious. He can do that during the 20 minutes between races. The schmuck at Pocono does it too. They are both the bottom of the barrel.

Congrats to all monti trainers and drivers!!!

They sponged off the government for 6 months and now they will sponge off the casino until they are dumped like a bad habit.

IT IS SHITHOLE TRACKS AND TERRIBLE OVERNIGHT RACES LIKE THOSE AT MONTISHITHOLE, THAT HOLD THE WHOLE SPORT BACK.
THE PLACE AINT NEEDED,THE HORSEMEN AINT NEEDED AND SHOULD BE BLOWN UP INTO RUBBLE

Of course it’s needed. Just like freehold is needed for horses who aren’t fast enough for meadowlands. Monticello houses the horses that can’t go to Meadowlands/yonkers/pocono....and they’ve been racing there since 1958.
GTFOH

YOU EVER THINK, THOSE PIGS SHOULD NOT BE RACEHORSES PERIOD
You better hope the Monti boys never find out who you are.
There's a headpole just waiting to be shoved up your ass and exit your mouth.
HEY TUFF GUY, I DONT SEE YOU BACKING UP ANY THREATS, TALK IS CHEAP..
AND YOU ARE ON SALE

I agree, the sport no longer has the need for MA and PA style outfits. And they should be done away with, along with the tracks they race those broken down 3 legged cripples at.
You know the stables, who breed the same now 20 yr ole mare with a 2.02 mark on a half mile, to the families pet stallion who hasn't sired a steaks winner ever. It is a breeders game now, and it all TRICKLES DOWN from there. You either keep up with the times or get the fuck out, No matter how many great times you had with your dead grandad there. If you don't like what you are racing for, go somewhere else, quit begging. You are embarrasing
-
I don't watch reruns and I don't eat leftovers. So why does harness racing continue to serve up buffets of leftovers?
Get something FRESH ON THE PLATE. Bettors get tired of the SAME OLD SHIT DIFFERENT DAY.
Tracks need to infuse new blood, both on the track with horses and horsemen, and behind the scenes. Don't just make a harness track a home for stupid old horsemen.

GOOD WORK tmbz1

To all you negative posters: Go look at the Monticello Condition Sheet. Purses range from $3400 to $8600. Not bad for a "dump", "shithole", etc. Sad thing is that those so called horsemen that bitch the most on here will be the first ones to drop their horses in the box. Eric Warner and Howard Oil should be the Republican candidates in 2024!
-
Monticello is back!
I can't wait to see the new improvements they made to the building!
-
yup, improvements at monti. i heard they consulted with scarborough downs on improvements. they split 1 bottle of sanitizer between them. promised that at least twice a month something somewhere would be swept and maybe mopped. made sure to lock all doors so no one could enter.
-
Come on chief be happy for the guys at Monticello LOL
-
im glad they are racing and with better purses but its the improvements that got me.

They have a new grandstand seating area on the first turn. You can't see the back stretch and it's impossible to see the stretch from that horrendous angle. Winter wind chills are usually below 0 and this beauty doesn't have any heat. 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2
