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.
