What's going on at Monticello?

[Birdfantammy]

I see they cancelled today.  What's the deal with this track?

[NOTHING BUT TRUTHS]

its garbage  the whole place is garbage. it needs shut down. it makes no money.

[Bogeyman]

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. 

[NOTHING BUT TRUTHS]

MAYBE ITS TIME. JUST SHUTTER DOWN

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

[Grandstand Handicapper]

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.

[sledge hammer]

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.

RAN OUT OF STONEDUST.

Reading the press release on the USTA site. 

Using comments
“Once again “. And “Hopefully “

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.
