Monmouth Park Racetrack History
Monmouth Park Racetrack is located in Oceanport, New Jersey. First opening in 1870, Monmouth Park is currently owned by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSEA). The venue is known affectionately as The Shore’s Greatest Stretch and hosts concerts, music festivals, and other forms of family friendly entertainment.
When the state legislature attempted to ban pari-mutuel wagering, the races moved to Jerome Park and Morris Park and racing would disappear from the Shore for over 50 years. Reopened in 1946, Monmouth Park live racing once again became a fixture on the summer social scene with many of the nation's best horses attracted to races like the Molly Pitcher, the Monmouth Cup, and the Lamplighter.
Today, the backstretch not only houses approximately 1,600 horses in 38 barns, but also serves as a small community for the horsemen and track employees. Located in the center of the backstretch is an area called "The Quadrangle." Here we find the Frenchman's Kitchen, where the motto is "Eat your betting money, but never your eating money."
The horse racing track's grandstand is capable of seating 13,000, while the clubhouse can seat 5,000 people. The track offers a free wagering seminar daily at noon. Monmouth also offers its "Dawn Patrol," a popular tour that occurs on Thursday and Friday mornings from June to August. The two-hour tour includes a tram ride, horse-training session, visit with jockeys and a discussion of the track's history.
Monmouth also offers Family Day on Sundays. With clowns, face painting, pony rides, and other activities, children can enjoy the day at the races. Monmouth offers a wide array of dining options, including: The Salvator Bar and Grill, The Dining Terrace, Lady's Secret Café, Paddock Sports Bar, Monmouth Café, The Clubhouse, Turf Club and the Rivalry Room.
Monmouth Park Racetrack played host to the Breeders' Cup World Championships of thoroughbred horse racing on October 26th and 27th, 2007. The 11-race event concluded with the 24th running of the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic, where Curlin reigned supreme.
