DONT GIVE A SHIT

[Bobbo]

Up 1 3/8 on light volume

[Maywood]

Purses will continue to rise. Soon to be second best track in the country. Great location and demographics.

 CANCELLING GRAND CIRCUIT RACES DOESNT HELP. 3 TRACKS IN OHIO ARE BETTER, SO IS HOOSIER.

very true. they could have given out more purse money last year but held some back. they cancelled that foolish 250k spirit of ma trot because the locals were not impressed that all the money went to ny/nj owners, drivers and trainers. handle will not go up but that slot parlor is making so much money they have no idea what to do with it.

[Maywood]

Build from within. Don't give Money to outsiders.  Don't make same mistakes other tracks have made. 

[Maywood]

In 5 years best tracks

1. Yonkers



2. Plainridge



3.   .?

greg merton managed to shoehorn his  way in there but at least he is willing to drive for local owners and trainers now.

[Maywood]

it seems as if they are trying to do everything the right way.

they do less than nothing for the bettors there. all they want is to herd them into the slot parlor. the concessions on the track side are abysmal (guess where they want you to go to get better ones) they even bumped up the price of simulcast programs and their own. you would think they would give them away (the ones they print) to get more people to play. in their somewhat impressive simulcast parlor you are lucky if one teller is on duty and absolutely no tellers after 6pm except sat. yes, the purses for their live product are more than twice what they should be but it's a long ship in from the metro ny/nj area. merton thinks it's worthwhile.

And whines about it if he isnt on the 6/5 favorite

[Maywood]

Take the welfare money. Why fight it. Nobody is going to bet harness racing.  I don't care if they all play the slots.

= only 3 watching and/or betting. too bad because there was a time when Fox 5/8 was interesting. went extinct with bell bottom jeans, the disco ball, and the Carter admin.

foxboro, brandywine, rosecroft and liberty bell were all 2nd level tracks behind yonkers and roosevelt but that was over 45 years ago. you couldn't get a seat at foxboro on a saturday night as 7500 crammed their way in there. now if plainridge gets 35 people other than owners, trainers and drivers relatives they are fortunate.
