Post by: Bogeyman on March 11, 2025, 09:09:21 AM: 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.

Title: Re: What's going on at Monticello?
Post by: Bogeyman on March 12, 2025, 09:15:59 AM: Cancelled again today (Wednesday, 3/12). May as well call off Thursday as well and see if you can get the track put together by next week. On a positive note, the horses are getting some well-deserved rest!!!

Post by: Locked in with pace on March 12, 2025, 09:21:29 AM: They need a high-level track builder/conditioner to get the track surface right. This problem can be long term if not fixed properly.
