Graduate Eligibles To Face Off

Published: April 28, 2018 01:23 pm EDT

Saturday night's 10-race card features a well-matched field of eight Graduate Series-eligible horses competing in a $15,000 Four-Year-Old Open.

Anthony Ruggeri's iron tough Western Joe has a slight morning line nod at 5-2 off his consistent excellence over the winter meet where he was the consensus top pacer at The Meadowlands. A winner six times against the best Preferred fields week in week out, Western Joe has already banked more than $70,000 in 2018. Chris Choate trains and Corey Callahan will drive Western Joe from post 2 in Saturday race, the seventh on the card.

Highalator, Miso Fast and Boogie Shuffle are coming in with considerable reputations earned on the various stakes trails last season and will use this race to springboard into the 2018 Grand Circuit races starting with the first Graduate leg next Saturday.

The World Harness Handicapping Final presented by Derby Wars is also on Saturday night with the top prize of $40,000 awarded to the winner from the total prize pool of $75,000.
