You know, the guy that also has stock with the Dutrows. Haven't a couple from this owner also tricked down to Rudy? Just wondering............

Wonder if Mr Brown will step this one up to previously unattained heights.

Needless to say, I wouldn't bet against this group (of chemists).


and he's 0 for whatever at monmouth

This is the reason I find Monmouth quite interesting, with the increased purses, it is interesting to see all the chemists fight it out between themselves, a perfect example was yesterday in the 9th where Mclaughlin's horse goes off as third choice at 3-1 in a race against Margolis, Pletcher, and Ward. Super betting race, where Valid Sum sits off the speed and wins. Alot of chemists, a fair playing field, interesting handicapping.

This is hard to figure, but I consider Monmouth one of the tracks that could be considered the wild west...Levine for one had a +50% win % here last year if my memory is correct. Whether it is or isn't every bettor will have to decide, but I certainly put it into the equation when I handicap races there.

This short meet is going to kill the smalltime trainers that made a living for years at Monmouth.The stress already took Alan Seewald.
Alan Goldberg is a known chemist? Is he poisioning them or something?

Don't take this personally, but I never bet your horses because you aren't a chemist.

Monmouth would be better off with one more day of racing per week and cards of 9 or 10 races. If they really want to know what effect the upgraded purse structure has on handle then run a card that isn't a marathon number of contests on a nontraditional race day like a Tuesday and have the whole country focus on your product but don't ask your customers for a 6 hour day. If they worry about scheduling against a workday run a twilight or night card like the meadowlands used to do. Simultaneous tracks running and forcing choices just limits handle.

Not exactly Silver Timber-ish, but a nice win today, with a really good ride by Bravo to boot.
