The schedule of New Jersey Sire Stakes races at Freehold Raceway this summer and fall has been revised with the elimination of Tuesdays as a race date by the track
.
Changes in the Freehold racing schedule followed the enactment of legislation providing for a reduction in the total number of race dates for the track during the summer-fall meet, which is also starting a week later than originally scheduled.
The only changes in the NJSS Premier Division are for three-year-old pacing fillies and two-year-old trotting fillies.
For the three-year-old filly pacers, the two preliminary legs are now scheduled for Saturdays, August 15 and 22. The $100,000 championship final will remain on Saturday, August 29.
For the two-year-old filly trotters, the preliminary legs will now be on Wednesdays, August 12 and 19, and the $100,000 championship final on Wednesday, August 26.
In the NJSS Green Acres, the first three preliminary legs for two-year-old trotting colts and geldings will now be on Wednesdays, August 12, 19 and 26. The fourth leg and the $50,000 championship final will remain on Wednesdays, September 23 and 30 respectively.
The complete corrected schedule for Green Acres preliminary legs for two-year-old filly pacers is as follows: August 13, 20 and 27 and September 3, with the $50,000 final on September 18.
The complete corrected schedule for Green Acres preliminary legs for three-year-old filly pacers is as follows: August 14, 21 and 28 and September 4, with the $50,000 final on September 12.
Dates for all other NJSS Premier and Green Acres races remain as originally scheduled. A complete revised schedule is available here.
