Poor Monmouth Park...

As I was watching the races from the Jersey shore yesterday, I just kept thinking that they can't catch a weather break... arguably the two big days in the park's recent history (Breeders' Cup in 2007 and Rachel's Haskell) and they get the hammered by monsoons. Didn't see a final attendance number, but I have to think they missed their estimates by several thousand.

It really wasn't that crowded. And the attendance number is always inflated due to the spinners (for the hat). I had to get 4 of them
