Monmouth cancels midway through card because of weather

Monmouth Park canceled live racing following the running of Sunday's 5TH race due to inclement weather that included heavy rains and lightning.

"The safety of our riders and our horses is our paramount concern," said Dennis Dowd, senior vice president of racing for the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority. "With the weather conditions we experienced, and no break in sight, we were left with not other option than to cancel the remainder of the card."

The 5,393 racing fans in attendance can bring their programs back for any live racing date, excluding Haskell Day next Sunday, for free admission.

Monmouth Park will continue live racing on Wednesday. First post from Wednesday through Saturday will be 12:50 p.m. (EDT), with live racing getting underway at noon on Sunday.
