Does anyone know if there is an irrigation/watering system for Monmouth's grass track? It was re-done in 2006, but their website doesn't state whether or not.

If so, it should have been used. If not, they should have watered it using water trucks. It was flat out irresponsible for them to run on a course that was listed as "hard". I'd be curious to know how many horses came out of their races with messed up shins.

I am pretty sure Monmouth has sprinklers for the turf though they always seem to have trouble with it every year.

Older horses wont have messed up shins, more likely chips and fractures, aka a whole lot worse stuff

Hard to believe it is harder than some of the turf courses out West.

True. Thanks for your insight.

I think the unnecessary risk for injury by running on this type of ground will have been overlooked.
