Title: MONTICELLO COMPENSATION
Post by: Locked in with pace on December 31, 2024, 11:48:32 AM: Monticello canceled for the 2nd day in a row. Does anyone know if they compensate the horses that were entered? Shipping is expensive and the horses miss a week.

Some of the horses up there only have 3 good legs, if that, they could use a week off. Their compensation is, they probably get first preference when they enter next time.

5-8 tracks for the year. televise it once a week like on a saturday night. promote it.

espn night at the races.
maybe it dont work but its worth a shot.

drivers trainers and track wont be so watered down.

Thats like asking ABC to have a ballroom dancing show with Fred Sanford as the main male dancer in primetime.

Monti has a handle. Actually a very nice one.Thunder Ridge did not.

Their compensation to the horsemen is being open and giving bottom dwellers a place to race.
