the grandstand or the barn area?

Cal expo has no slots, so you know why purses are low there.Vernon has slots but not much action due to turning stone a hop, skip, and a jump away.At least Tioga has slots and decent purse money. Short fields make it better for owners, trainers, drivers, to make money.Yonkers generally has full fields, fast horses and big purses. Add to the fact that you have some trainers that are better than others with interesting medical programs.
Tioga purses sink for having a full blown casino and a short meet .

It's a shame what happened to Monti. I remember going there on Saturday summer nights with that open grandstand and the warm breeze, lit up water fountain still working in multicolor between races. Sunday afternoons were great with full crowds on the weekends, all the local resorts bused people in and every seat was occupied in the clubhouse. double header cards on 4th of July with fireworks after the races and John Manzi puffing on his stogie thinking up new wacky contests.
I remember watching Cam Fella in the Monticello Pace qualifier, I was like 12...very lackluster drive from Crowe got him beat by Bo Scots Blue Chip that day. Place was packed.

Cam fella and niatross the best two horses in history because they both towed human anchors.
Who drove Somebeachsomewher e (SBSW)??
Look at Yonkers, cal ex, Vernon, Tioga,etc. 6 horse fields, just what the better needs. Another Racetrack, no wonder the game is dead.
