Originally known as Long Branch racetrack when it opened in 1870, Monmouth Park is located in beautiful Oceanport, New Jersey. Monmouth Racetrack holds horse racing action five months of the year, May through September. It once had a special train for racegoers called The Pony Express.

Monmouth Park’s marquee event is the Haskell Invitational, named after Amory L. Haskell. The Haskell was first run in 1968 as a handicap, but was made into an Invitational Handicap racing event in 1981. It is now a 1-1/8 mile test for three-year-olds, run in early August. Monmouth also now showcases the Jersey Derby, originally run at Garden State Park until its closure in 2001.

Opening day attracted 18,724 in attendance, and Monmouth returned to a level of glory and prestige that had only been a memory. Modern day stakes races, including the Molly Pitcher Handicap and the Lamplighter, held their inaugural runs in 1946, with the Monmouth Oaks and Colleen Stakes continuing their popularity from the 1800s. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority purchased Monmouth Park in 1986 and many of the historic, century-old stakes races were reinstated, with the Monmouth Cup, inaugurated in 1884, renamed the Philip H. Iselin Handicap.
