Monmouth Park Goes "Odd Ball"
In their second condition book, there is an "odd ball" claiming race written for July 7th. In it, both 3-year-olds and older horses will have a base weight of 115 lbs. The base claiming price is $8,000, with each additional $1,000 of claiming price adding 2 lbs. to the weight. The distance is 1 1/16 miles. There is a second such race, at 6 furlongs, scheduled for July 14.
So far as I know, Monmouth is the highest-class track that has ever run such a race - assuming that it actually does get run.
