Monmouth Park track conditions worsen

---

Oceanport, NJ (Sports Network) - The ongoing rain at Monmouth Park this afternoon has caused management to downgrade the conditions for the main track and turf course.

The dirt track is now listed as sloppy and the turf course is now yielding. The fields for today's three Breeders' Cup races have not lost any starters due to the surface conditions.

Forefathers has been scratched from today's $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, but not because of the weather. Trainer Bill Mott scratched the three- year-old colt from the race inorder to have him go in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Sprint.
