Opened in July of 1870, Monmouth Park, located in New Jersey, is home to one of the most important 3-year-old events on the racing calender, the Grade I Haskell Stakes. In addition to that prestigious sophomore-only event, Monmouth Park plays host to the Grade I United Nations Handicap and the Grade II Monmouth Oaks. The annual meeting begins in the spring and races throughout the summer.
Main Track
The main track is a 100-foot-wide, one-mile oval with 12 inches of aggregate sand drainage and 12 inches of crushed stone screenings topped off by a 4-inch cushion of sand and topsoil. The topsoil is a mixture of silt, clay and loam.
Each 1/8 of a mile, or "furlong" originally a "furrow long" or the length of a plowed field, is marked off by a green and white pole located along the inside rail. Each ¼ mile is noted by a red and white pole, while 1/16 mile is designated by a black and white pole. Thus, the "quarter pole" is the red and white pole located on the "far turn," ¼ mile from the finish line.
