Monmouth Park

On Father's Day we all decided to go to Monmouth Race Track for brunch and for the horse races. First off, this is the first time I have ever been at a horse race track. Reservations were made for the brunch and 8 of us were there, only to find out that they said the reservations could not be found so that was out and we then set out to have a sit down meal. My god, it took over 2 hours to get filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The meat was fatty and cold. This meal was costing $55 per person, the fathers did not have to pay it was on the rest of the family. The food was terrible. All I know is that my son asked me for $80.00, I won't see that money again. Well, we went down to the rails to watch and bet on the races. I found it quite exciting and the crowd was loud for rooting for their horse. I am a VietNam Vet and a woman from the track came over to me to talk about friends who are now serving and then she left and came back with 2 horseshoes from the last race winner and gave them to me. I will never forget her and they will hang in my new home. All in all it turned out to be a nice day and I won 4 races out of 12, I had fun and I think you would feel just as excited as I was. If you have never been to a race track it is something you won't forget. Bye Bye for now. Stuart S.
