Horse Racing

I like Gov Christie , he inherited a state in serious financial trouble and has had to make some tough decisions and significant cuts, and i have agreed with 99% of them.....BUT he is dead wrong when it comes to the Horse Racing Industry. If Monmouth Park goes away, the Horse farms and those who provide for them will go away too, at last estimate there are 13,000 jobs tied to the entire industry, that is significant.....not to mention the quality of life....yesterday there close to 15,000 people at Monmouth Park, enjoying the 2nd annual Beerfest and BBQ cookoff, to stand by the Paddock and see the faces of the kids, both big and small, smiling at the Horses is a treat.....I may be a jackass, but I chose to live in Little Silver because of its proximity to Monmouth Park....if it goes away, that's one less thing keeping me and many others in Monmouth County.
