Racing to continue at Monmouth Park
Horseracing Betting Lines
12/21/2011 -
Trenton, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Thoroughbred racing at Monmouth Park will go
off as planned in 2012. An agreement was reached between the New Jersey Sports
and Exposition Authority and the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's
Association.
"This has been an arduous process but one that I believe was necessary to
ensure uninterrupted racing at Monmouth Park and the Meadowlands. At the same
time, we are protecting the public interest and preserving jobs at both venues
and in New Jersey's equine industry," said Governor Christie. "Our transition
to independent, privately operated horse racing facilities will continue in
2012, and I am as optimistic as ever that Monmouth Park will maintain its
legacy as a premier venue for thoroughbred horse racing fans for years to
come."
Monmouth Park will have 141 days of racing during the upcoming year, however
there will be no subsidies or enhancements to racing purses. Purses will be
substantially reduced due to the loss of those monies.
Jeff Gural will operate The Meadowlands as earlier agreed upon. A 30-year
contract for the operation of the harness track was signed.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
