What a beautiful day yesterday at Monmouth! Nice card with a little of everything..Weavers got a potential good one in War Tap that just exploded down the stretch to an impressive turf win. And pletchers Donegal moon looked good winning the Pegasus..A really nice day with a large Fathers day crowd gave me a great feeling racihg's not in as much trouble as some would have you believe..Or at least for one day, generations of families young and old, all gathered and enjoyed the day. Hadn't been up in a few years but my hat goes off to the staff and management for all their hard work!

Going there soon. A day there when it is sunny is absolutely an enjoyable experience. You get the vacationers, locals, a good mix.

My favorite is the liquored up smoothie stand along the wall closest to the track. Get the half and half mix.... add the rum or vodka...mmmmmm!


Horses...ocean breeze...hot sun...cold smoothie. = nice!.

It is a beautiful place to sit relax and have a beer while watching the races and betting the simulcast.

There are twin Bulgarian beauties at the bar in front that are easy on the eyes, and heavy with the pour..A terrific combination in my world! Mighta had one too many gin and tonics just so I could watch then ply their trade.
