Does anyone kow if they have wi-fi?
There are two buffets Sunday for Mother's Day listed on their website, the Turf Club one for $50 seems like a good deal compared to the other one (if it is correct, that is you can only choose one entree? what I can't have French toast and steak?).
http://www.monmouthpark.com/event_detail.aspx?id=7043
Don't see any entries yet, should be a dreadful meet racing wise, chepa claimers and Jersey breds but it is a great place to visit.

I just play the turf races - those who raced at AC last out no matter what the finish.

I love Monmouth, but not these 2 new bets. I wish they would have invested in an additional toteboard and huge video screen near the picnic area like they promised last year instead of new bars. I'll probably go this Saturday with my cooler and some cigars. I too am wondering if they'll have wifi.

The Rainbow 6 at GP was immensely popular and made a big splash. It was just a matter of time before another track picked it up. Personally, since it's a 10 cent bet, I think it's worth a shot sometimes.

Gulfstream was not the first track to have this bet, Beulah had the same format, i don't remember if they did it for a dime or not.
the wager turned out to be a rotten bet until the last day in Gulfstream. it paid big for what it was..one guy took out over $1 million from the pool.

Yeah, it don't look so bad opening day.
The Jim Mazur Monmouth guide is always worth checking out. i know some years they gave it away free at a certain promotion.

on the wi-fi question
From the Asbury Park Press-
"Monmouth has also installed a facility-wide Wi-Fi system that will enable bettors to place wagers on their smartphone or tablet computer.
