How’s the handle?
We all remember how great Sunday afternoon racing at Monti was for so many years. Bring the kids, mini golf, good food, lots of people having fun.Why did they abandon racing on Sundays?Lose a Monday and bring back Sunday racing.My gut is that they would draw decently with a bit of facility improvements?Thoughts?
Better than 90% of harness tracks in the country. Routinely handling 50-100k per race.
They are not handling that much per raceMore like 15-40k. Once in while they will get to 50K in a race, but it's rare. That said, I am amazed how much they do get for the racing quality they have.
Can someone in the please explain what gives at this track? First on many days they only have seven races. Now before you blame this on all the other tracks that are running at this time, other tracks seem to fill pretty well. The horses are much better at Yonkers, Pocono, Plainridge, Saratoga and Harrahs Philly. The quality of horses stinks at Tioga and Freehold similar to MR. My point is there must be all sorts of crappy horses around that can earn at MR. Is the management just cheap and will not run full cards? Clearly management is not spending any money to lure fans. You can’t even buy any food. The place has become a total dump and I haven’t even been there in over five years. Why is this place still open? Is Howard Oil’s majestic race calls bringing the crowds to the Catskills?
