Good weather, good purses and
good horses leads to good racing. Opening weekend at
Monmouth Park was just that, good racing. And for the
23,000 plus fans that attended the races this past weekend,
they
were treated to good cards and excellent features including Smokume winning the Decathlon Stakes in Saturday's feature.
The four-year-old, Allen Jerkens trainee, came back to the
shore to add another piece of hardware to her trophy case
after winning the 2004 Gilded Time Stakes. Click the
link below to read the review and see the race.
