at Monmouth Park!
Every year, the Breeders' Cup changes location and in 2007, it will be at Monmouth Park, NJ. There will be a new format for this year's event with 11 races now being held over a 2 day meeting.
Monmouth Park
Beautiful Monmouth Park is extremely proud to be hosting the Breeders' Cup in 2007 and the main track is a 100 foot wide, one mile oval. The grandstand capacity is only 8000 so they will be building temporary stands to accommodate this exciting event.

Grandstand Seats
We have secured our seat allocation directly from Breeders' Cup Limited and are assured seats with excellent viewing. The exact pricing and location of seating is not known to us at this time.
Hospitality
We are endeavoring to obtain a facility for Breeders' Cup Day at Monmouth Park. At this time the arrangements have not been finalized. Once we have the details, we will contact you and offer you the upgrade.
