Monmouth Park set a Mother's Day attendance record Sunday when a crowd of 14,687 turned out to support a 10-race card. The New Jersey track's previous Mother's Day record attendance of 14,121 was set in 2015. The total handle for the day was $4,144,072.

“We appreciate the turnout by our fans to help make Mother's Day a special afternoon at Monmouth Park,” said Bill Anderson, the track's president and chief operating officer. “It's always nice to see a big crowd and a festive atmosphere like we had today.”

A year ago, Monmouth Park had the second largest Father's Day crowd in track history with 28,976 in attendance. The track's record Father's Day crowd of 29,262 was set in 2015.
