State Senator Joe Kyrillos (R- Monmouth/Middlesex) issued the following statement regarding the agreement between the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horseman’s Association to keep Monmouth Park open through 2012:
“It has been a long and at times difficult process, but I am pleased that horse racing will continue at Monmouth Park for the 2012 season. The agreement reached between NJSEA and the Thoroughbred Horseman’s Association last night will ensure that a vital industry for Monmouth County and New Jersey survives.
“There is a great deal of work to do in the New Year to build a stronger racing industry that can stand on its own without taxpayer assistance. Monmouth Park is an important part of the fabric of our state and I will continue to work with the Governor’s office and all relevant players.”
