Monmouth cancels Friday card due to storm

Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., has canceled its six-race twilight card tonight, citing heavy rains and winds that have beset the Jersey Shore for most of Friday.

Monmouth was scheduled to open its live card at 5 p.m. Eastern. The card had three maiden races and three claiming races on it. It would have been the track’s second Friday card following the beginning of its delayed 2020 meet last week.

In a release, Monmouth said it remained on schedule to hold its Saturday card, with a post of 12:50 p.m. Eastern for the first of 12 races.
