August 5, 2007 Oceanport, New Jersey
While it is the pinnacle of the summer meeting the Haskell more and more seems to signify the start of the fall championship season. With the Breeders' Cup running at the shore oval in October seven three-year-olds went into the starting gate for Monmouth's premier three-year-old event to see if a race over the track is just what they will need to get the edge over the competition for the Breeders' Cup Classic. Todd Pletcher trainee, Any Given Saturday, would not disappoint as he gave the 40,000 plus crowd a great show winning the event and in so doing moving to the front of this years three year old class. |

June 23, 2007 Oceanport, New Jersey
A beautiful day for racing did not disappoint as the card had three stakes: Without Feathers, Sneakbox and the featured Salvator Mile. The Salvator Mile saw last years derby hopeful Lawyer Ron, the heavy post time favorite, have some $465,000 bet on him in the show pool. His Monmouth Park debut would be spoiled however as Gottcha Gold would get the jump on the field and make each pole a winning one holding off the favorite by a neck at the wire in a thrilling stretch run. |
July 4, 2007 Oceanport, New Jersey
The July 4th card is typically a very good card. 2007's version was especially good and one for the record books as a couple of milestones were recorded with historical significance. First Joe Bravo recorded his 4,000 winner aboard Alotofappeal in the eighth race and celebrated with friends in the winners circle. In the very next race, ninth race The Jersey Shore Breeders' Cup Stakes, California invader Idiot Proof eclipsed the fifteen year-old track record for six furlongs, set by then two-year-old Gilded Time, blazing the distance in 1:07.47. See below for all the Monmouth Park action. |

May 12, 2007 Oceanport, New Jersey Joey P. re-establishes his dominance in the sprint division on Opening Day 2007. Joe Bravo reunited with the colt for the victory and a new track record in The Decathlon Stakes. Track records are falling fast and furiously in the first few weeks with a new main track and the second season with the newly renovated turf course. |
June 17, 2007 Oceanport, New Jersey A boisterous Father’s Day crowd of 23,975 was on hand to witness the perfect “wise guy” horse as 4-year-old colt Fagedaboudit Sal recorded his fifth win in 21 starts, winning The Bernie Dowd Handicap, increasing his bankroll to $231,402 for owner, Salvatore Racing Stable. |
