The Meadowlands will host live racing over the weekends of September 9-10 and 16-17. Horsemen are advised that double draws will be held each of the next few Tuesdays for those race cards.
The Kindergarten Series will provide an opportunity for trainers to glean some racing lessons for their "late-bloomers" in preparation for the ample stakes remaining on the 2016 schedule as well as offering a certain opportunity to race against two-year-olds as Sires Stakes come to a close in New York and Pennsylvania. Also, valuable points toward the $150,000 November 5 finals are at stake in these legs.
For the overnighters, Race Secretary Pete Koch has composed a condition sheet with something for everybody. The popular "G-Note" short series races will be offered for pacing mares and horses in the NW $3,500 L/5 class and claimers that have raced for a price of $10,000 or less since July 1. All of them offer a chance to return the second week for a purse of $17,500.
The fifth and last leg of the Miss Versatility series for trotting mares is set to go on Friday, September 9 with the $120,000e final raced in Delaware Ohio on Little Brown Jug Day, September 22.
The box for September 9 & 10 closes at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 6. Enter online or by phone at 201-842-5130.
