So ridiculous. He hasn't been winning to his liking so he is taking his ball and going somewhere else.

It was nice having him at a track that was unplayable to begin with, for a few weeks, anyway.
At least he's not going back to Chicago. But it SUCKS for Monmouth (bettors).

Unusual for a track to give a guy 48 stalls in the middle of a meet, no? I guess they were empty.

The fact that Monmouth has 48 stalls to give in the middle of the meet has to be somewhat alarming to the Monmouth fans.

Calder threatening to cut purses 18 months after the grand opening of their casino has to be a bit of a blow to the slots will save racing people.

Where Canani/Calbrese end up? Meh.

With apoligies to Jed Clampett..

Come listen to the story about an owner named Frank
won lots of races but was known as a real crank
Then one day Calder cried poor
and that pissed off ole Frank for sure

Nick..pack up...we're leaving!

Well next thig you know the horses are in the van
'heading North as fast as they can
Frank's not running for purses like he's a whore
He's moving to the Jersey Shore

Lots of stalls! Bruce Springsteen!

Well now Frank will be arriving real soon
it might be a bust it might be a boon
But as soon as he sees that Monthouth crop
you know he'll be doing the ole claim and drop

That was pretty circumstancial as many horsemen who nornally would have sent horses hesitated not knowing if the meet was coming off at all...

It wasn't pretty circumstancial, it was 100% circumstancial. I'll be the first to admit that I have no clue what the situation is there, but reading there were stalls to be had raised a red flag with me.

There are still plenty of empties according to trainers there.
