How can anyone make a living with these purses? If you look at what the horses make to date, they are barely covering the expenses. And if they say they "make it through the windows," that's BS. When they upgrade their stock, they may spend $6,000 on the horse and its the same trainers that have been there for years. You don't see any new young blood. It is a shame for the place years ago was a great place to race.

I respectfully disagree, if you know anyone racing at Monticello they are making money through the window.

Sorry, usually see those nw 150/ps and nw 200/ps races on the cards!

No argument about the horse's ability or connections.  The 2 hole in the second tier in a 12 horse field can be deadly...or not...depending on pace, who leaves, and if/when J Mac can find a live helmet to follow.  Good luck!
