In the long and storied history of thoroughbred racing in America, there has never been a meet with the purse structure of the upcoming Summer Elite Meet at Monmouth Park. Beginning Saturday, May 22, 2010 and running for fifty (50) race cards right up to Labor Day in September, track operators are guaranteeing daily purses of $1,000.000.
Each of the fifty cards at the Monmouth Park Summer Elite Meet will reward winning horses and their connections with daily purses (for all races each day) equal to one million dollars. This is truly unprecedented it has never happened before in America, perhaps anywhere else, as well.
It will be happening this summer in New Jersey because the state s government has recognized the importance of thoroughbred racing to New Jersey s economy. In addition to thoroughbred and harness tracks that operate all around the state, there are numerous farms where horses are bred, stabled and trained. The result is that the industry employs thousands of workers in the state, contributes mightily to its economy and that makes it important.
The meet at Monmouth is also important and has already received lots of positive publicity in and out of the industry. There has never been a meet in New York, Kentucky, California or elsewhere in the United States where so much money has been put up for grabs. And that makes this meet historic and incredibly exciting.
Obviously, the Summer Elite Meet at Monmouth Park will lure some of the best owners, trainers and jockeys. The racing will be competitive and will capture the attention of the racing world. There will be stakes races daily.
In fact, the opening card will have two stakes races that fans in attendance will want to wager on the $100,000 Decathlon Stakes, a sprint on dirt; and the $100,000 Elkwood Stakes, a turf race for runners who like the grass.
Both races figure to be highly competitive. So how do you pick a winner and cash a bet One way may be to go to a virtual online horse game site where you can set up a virtual simulation of the upcoming stakes races and, perhaps, get the help you need in picking a winner, perhaps even an exacta or a trifecta.
It s all in good fun, of course and horse racing sites offers horse race fans, like you, other enjoyable activities, as well. It enables you to become a virtual jockey or trainer, build your own stable and compete against thousands of other players for cash and prizes.
If it sounds like good times , you re right it is really good times!. Then pay close attention. It could easily lead to a winning wager or two on Saturday.
