Oceanport, NEW JERSEY - Monmouth Park Racing Track: Oceanport is a borough in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough\'s population was 5,832, reflecting an increase of 25 (+0.4%) from the 5,807 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 339 (-5.5%) from the 6,146 counted in the 1990 Census. The famed Monmouth Park, a thoroughbred horse racetrack, is home to the annual Haskell Invitational Handicap. The choice to put the track in this small community in 1946 was made because of its prime location at the shore and its accessibility for New Yorkers and North Jersey folk who make up the majority of the track crowd. The Haskell Invitational Stakes, which next to the Triple Crown is horse racing\'s biggest event, takes place each year in August. In October 2007, Oceanport\'s Monmouth Park hosted the Breeders\' Cup, attracting nearly 70,000 fans over the two days of the event. Monmouth Park implemented a storm-water collection system in 2010, after the track had been repeatedly fined by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for polluting the Branchport Creek section of the Shrewsbury River with fecal contamination that washed off from the areas surrounding the track after rainstorms. The postcard offers a view of the Old English Walking Ring at race time. The card is in good condition. No. 73706.
