  • Names in the News

     NYRA officials seem very pleased with the numbers posted for the first four days of horse racing. Considering that the first two days were conducted in sweltering heat and the fourth was held in the rain, that the track was able to attract 350 more people each day on average than last year is a development in which they should rightfully ...

  • No Mistake: Art Preston - By Lenny Shulman

    With their signature mustaches, brothers Art and Jack Preston often get mistaken for one another by racetrack officials and reporters who don’t know them well. So after Art’s 5-year-old horse Flat Out won the Suburban Handicap (gr. II) at Belmont Park July 2, it was Jack who was supposedly getting quoted in the media about the big victory.“Yeah, ...

  • Monmouth Employee to Compete in Mongol Derby

    Last summer, when Sophia Mangalee read a story on Equidaily.com about the winner of the 2010 Mongol Derby, she was more than intrigued and entertained. She was inspired. “I was 100% convinced from the minute I saw (the article) that I would do that race,” said Mangalee, 28, the marketing manager of Monmouth Park.  “I thought about it for ...

  • Feast for the Eyes

    A little gazpacho goes a long way. The 12 oz. bowl at the Putnam St. Market stand on the racecourse’s Restaurant Row for $5 is a zippy-tasting concoction that’ll satisfy your appetite.  If you’re looking for something a little spicy, try the Manhattan clam chowder at the stand underneath Section J, also for $5.  Add a douse of red hot ...

  • Bouillabaisse

     You could tell which people stayed out late dancing to the bands at the Hat’s Off to Saratoga celebration on Broadway by whether or not they slept through the thunder storm.

  • Acclamation Could Grab Division Lead

    Saratoga will be the focus of much of my attention this weekend, but the grade I Eddie Read Stakes from Del Mar figures to be a key race in a distance turf division that, quite frankly, is as soft as it has been in many years. Acclamation has put together two consecutive impressive wins including the grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap ...
