Monticello actually cares and cancelled
« on: January 22, 2025, 10:20:27 AM »
Did they actually cancel for the benefit of the horses or their pocketbook?

Pretty dumb statement.
They would have done a brisk business if they raced today.
PS-the Meadows cancelled too.

Interesting that they cancel in the daytime, but Dover still runs at night with a pretty big handle for them.

my guess it is more of a racing surface issue than the cold temps

in the past-we have seen a few Monti cards cancelled due to the track surface--at Dover that doesn't seem to be the case--only several inches of snow makes them cancel if I am not mistaken

Earlier this month they had 6 inches of snow and cancelled, then about a week ago, the horses had paraded and scored for the 1st race, but they ended up cancelling, so that was probably due to the track surface.

Monticello cares?  Who robbed all the purse money that was supposed to get added with the new casino?  I know, they care.

Thats on Faraldo and company blantant incompetence. Much like when they turned off the signal all while collecting tons of lawyer fees.

The horseman have to agree to cancel. The track just can't cancel with the horseman's association saying yes.

THE casino was a joke. Put some slots in an old decrepit mall in a poor area and got their hopes up. Dummies.

Resort World did exactly that in Newburgh.
