Charleston and Lexington coming to Lakewood.
A road trip that started with two wins at Greenville took a turn for the worst for the Lakewood BlueClaws as the Asheville Tourists and mother nature made for a messy swing through the southern half of the South Atlantic League. After Greenville won the last game of a three game set 12-1 Asheville won the first game of their series in a 14-10 thriller. A rain storm then rolled through the area canceling not only Saturday's game but a double dip on Sunday. The teams played a doubleheader on Monday with Asheville winning both games before the team returns home for seven games against Charleston and Lexington. First pitch on Wednesday is scheduled for 6:35 against the RiverDogs. It will also be a Kentucky Derby Preview Night and a chance to…

As Monmouth Park gears up for its 68th racing season, it has introduced a new logo to commemorate its first calendar year under new management. The logo — a silhouette of a horse charging across the Oceanport racetrack — is modeled after 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra and her winning run in that year’s Haskell Invitational. “It’s an exciting logo that marries Monmouth Park of the 19th century with that of the 21st,” said Bill Knauf, vice president of business operations. “While continuing to use the traditional green that has long been associated with Monmouth Park, the new logo adds an ocean blue creating the Monmouth Park summer atmosphere.” Monmouth Park opens for its 2013 season on May 11 and will feature 61 days of racing …

Federal law must be overturned before any legal wagers on sporting events are made.
Gov. Chris Christie is expected to sign off on three bills passed by the state Senate and Assembly Monday which amend the state constitution to allow for sports betting at New Jersey casinos and horse tracks and off-track wagering at bars and restaurants, according to a report by The Trentonian. However, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), the federal law prohibiting sports wagering in all but four states, would have to be overturned before any bets could be placed on professional or collegiate games. Voters approved a nonbinding referendum to legalize sports betting by a nearly 2 to 1 margin in November. "These votes, by both houses of the legislature and the voters of New Jersey, mark the beginning of the end of …
