There’s some truth there, then there are cheats like Gurino who stole lots of money

Harness Racing / Monticello Raceway's appeal continues to today!

From 2024: DRF:What is it about Monticello Raceway that attracts bettors? Is it the consistent product with a rather basic wagering menu that has barely changed over the years? Is it the afternoon time slot? Is it simply wagering habit for a track that has more than a half-century under its belt?

"What I like most is the horses there are consistent and they race often so you don't see dramatic form reversals. That leads to really trying to handicap races where trips actually matter, and that's the most fun thing about handicapping," said a regular Monticello bettor who preferred to remain anonymous. "I also like that the 'super' trainers don't race there. I love that they race year round and the pools are still strong." One clear certainty when it comes to Monticello Raceway is that it is filled with people who care about harness racing. The track and the people who work there are survivors. The "Mighty M" has stood the test of time and will likely keep chugging along into the future to the delight of those who tune in every afternoon.

Piss poor field for top caliber 3yr olds. But good betting race as it seems wide open!

I was a huge fan of clubhouse dining to watch the races. It has gone away in Delaware. Although Harrington will allow you to order food in the bar and carry to the clubhouse with no waitress service at all. Not even for drinks or refills. Kinda sad. Covid put a few more nails in the coffin.

I liked it when Harrington had their buffet in clubhouse. 14.95 including drink with free refills. Tip $5 so for 20 bucks it gave you a reason to go to the track and eat and be in a comfortable atmosphere to watch the races. Now no reason to go just stay home and watch and bet online. Plus when there and had a good night I would wonder over to the casino and donate most of my winnings.

I believe cheaters had a lot to do with killing the sport. It leads to way to much chalk and boring races. The Meadowlands empty out many bettors got tired of the cheaters. Yonkers was no different. I had a group of friends that sat in the restaurant. They were small time owners and big bettors. The cheaters ran them out and made them sour.
No one wants to spend hours handicapping to have the cheats blow you away. Horse gamblers want to cash big tickets.
I also had many friends that switch to the runners or poker.
Fast forward to today and yes it is on life support. There are not many fans or bettors left. A few big barns do very well. The majority struggle to stay afloat. I listened to LUCPARK's story. He has money, used big trainers, and lost much money.

Of course the cheaters killed the sport, they're talking about the level that it is at now. Even with the welfare and being gambler not influenced (as much or at all).

Stop the drugs, cheating and hand out to celebrities (that are racing fans too) $50,000,000 in horse ownerships and endorsement money to show up. Throw big events at the track on race days and off. Throw another $50,000,000 in guaranteed pools.

Better get the collection cup out from everyone who makes money off racing i.e. the breeders, the entire supply chain of goods and services, the tracks...!

Or take the money and run, like now, lack integrity, crimes, animal abuse, make the gamblers and honest participants continue to look like fools...until the gravy train would stop.
