History of Monmouth Park Racetrack

Created initially as a tourist attraction, Monmouth Park has been a Jersey Shore tradition since 1870. When the state legislature attempted to ban pari-mutuel wagering, the races moved to Jerome Park and Morris Park and racing would disappear from the Shore for over 50 years. Reopened in 1946, Monmouth Park live racing once again became a fixture on the summer social scene with many of the nation's best horses attracted to races like the Molly Pitcher, the Monmouth Cup, and the Lamplighter.
