How many will relocate to Monticello?

Alot should have gotten out of the business a long time ago because they lose money every year.

Monti may only let in horses it needs. It isn't going to take away starts from the locals who have been racing there. Plus, their purses are so bad, why would you absorb the expense of shipping, etc?

Does it really matter if you lose 10000 or 15000 dollars?  A loss is a loss!!

You’re wrong. He will let anybody in and has never protected the local guys.

There is a rumor that the Meadowlands might be racing Sunday afternoon’s starting in January.  I guess most of the Freehold horses would be made up for a lot of the fields if this happens.

Let’s hope that rumor is true. Sunday racing at the Big M will allow those owners and horseman that are a step below the norms at Big M a chance to ace at the greatest harness track ever to exist.

Just before the old entrance to the track on Naaman's Rd there's a newer development of houses, most of them costing over a million. If you look all the way in the back you can still see the remnants of part of the stable area.

I used to love Sunday afternoon harness racing. M1 had Sunday afternoon harness many years ago, I think the early 90's. And mostly cheap horses ran, some shippers from Monti even.

Sunday afternoons at Monti were great and even YR had Sunday afternoon races for a while in the early 90's.
