It is you who needs to learn, a racing season is broken down into meetings, The championship meet, started May 4th and runs until Hambletonian day. The winter meet starts January 1 (actually it starts after Xmas the year before)  and ends late February.  Then the "Spring meet" goes March and April.  Usually you can tell when a 'meet' ends because they usually have a mandatory payoff on their carryover pools.  You owe the NJ horseman an apology
so they are going to race in jan and feb and close in march and april when the weather is better. that's all i wanted to know. it makes no sense but i do get it and am wrong of course although you would think business would be better if they killed the winter meet and retained the spring meet for continuity into their "heralded championship meet" which currently they have to beg the worst drivers in the country to come there and drive. i know, when the big purse stake races begin the good ones will return. but tonite for example, yukk.

 No Pennsylvania ( Pocono/harrahs) tracks open in Jan Feb and March means more horses available to card more races , bigger fields bigger handle.  Only half mile Yonkers to race against. I guess smart asses like you don't think about that. That makes all the sense that is needed

actually i did take that into consideration. run when no one else is or at a time when no one else is. good business model. this will hurt the michael polio's, the joe (irish) hanney's, the inept merton's and the others who thought they were called up to the major leagues to drive. makes perfect sense to do this. without slots they will sink even further into oblivion.
