It's official - No parimutual wagering at Far Hills on 10/21/17.

According to Co-Chairman Guy Torsilieri, “testing of the fiber optic cable we need for the wagering windows in the meadow and on the hillside” and hardware related problems “threw up too many obstacles for us to be ready this year.”

The race committee is still committed to parimutual wagering for the 2018 meet.

Monmouth, who was part of the equation for signal distribution, also contributed to making the execution difficult.
