It's been a rollercoaster week for New Jersey horsemen, but things appear to have ended on a positive note Friday. Daily Racing Form is reporting that, according to representatives of the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen=s Association, a tentative agreement has been reached with Gov. Chris Sarah K. Andrew photo Christie that will allow for Monmouth Park to conduct a 141-day meet in 2012 while the state re-opens the bidding for a long-term lease of the Oceanport oval. Earlier in the month, real estate developer Morris Bailey backed out of a deal to lease Monmouth Park--which is owned by the state-controlled New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA)--after horsemen and Christie clashed over details of an original agreement reached in June. Horsemen said Christie reneged on a deal to allow them control over Thoroughbred dates originally licenced for The Meadowlands, while Christie said horsemen pushed a last-minute request for a 2012 purse subsidyB something he's adamantly opposed to. On Tuesday, Christie held a press conference and threatened to shutter the track if the horsemen and the NJSEA couldn't come to some kind of an agreement before Monday. On Thursday, Oceanport Mayor Mike Mahon offered for the borough to act as a "transitional vehicle" until a new lessee was found. According to DRF, the pending deal calls for Monmouth purses to be funded strictly through handle in 2012. Last season, the track conducted an "Elite Summer Meet," with purses boosted significantly from $30 million in subsidies.
