Cancelled again today - they have only raced 3 days in the last two-plus weeks due to the track condition. Got to feel for those there trying to make a living.  Few of those horses can
jump to another track to pick up a check.

Pocono, Tioga, Saratoga are all in close proximity.  Monti was my track, but it is time to close it.

All things aside, as part of what needs to happen in the sport and industry, Monticello is simply one of the tracks that should close.

The crazy thing is how well they handle there (relatively speaking of course). Per race they handle more than Vernon, Tioga and Buffalo/Batavia combined....also they often outhandle Yonkers.

Years ago, they had an opportunity to put hot water pipes under the track surface and they passed.

They also had the opportunity to put a DOME on the track with heat and AC for total comfort, and it missed passing by one vote.

  • MTP1972: I have a different take on carryovers. If you're betting a track who has a good handle like Mohawk the Early Pick 5 pool is around $100,000, maybe $50,000 for the Pick 4 pool. When there's a carryover the CAW's bet thousands into the pool and have every combination covered multiple times. In a smaller pool there's a better chance for a big score because less of their money is in there, same for the Pick 6 in California.

  • Trigger: Thanks Calhoun, GL to you too, big scores ahead!  Check out Mohawk last Sat early p5, $67891.89 .20 payout w/ 3 horses < 3-1 odds, the other 2 races, nw1 and claimers, wow, the perfect storm.

  • Calhoun: Yeah, moron is way too lazy.

  • Calhoun: Trigger, $25k/$500per week. Sounds great. IMO, you have 2 best options. 1) 100% of play on certain CarryOvers.  Pick-5 Carryovers are best. Pro is Near EV or +EV. Con is it's a ton of work in 1 day at worst or 3/4 days at best. But $500 gets you a lot of coverage. ..2) Focus 100% on one track, WITHOUT a lot of ship Ins. Woodbine, Remington, SoCal and Texas fit. WDB and Rem closed/closing. Whichever you choose, you need to know every single horse. You MUST have access to workout videos. You need to learn trainers. Good Luck

  • Trigger: If the lighting bulbs at Plop seems just a tad dimmer, let's welcome back Cashout from his 3 day hiatus.  He has every right to post here, dim bulb or not.  ngc3  Be patient, your eyes will adjust!   ngc3
