Ontario Sires Stakes graduate Second Sister is among the eight trotters set to compete in Friday's featured trotting event at The Meadowlands.

Friday signals the weekly start to live harness racing at The Meadowlands. The weekend begins with an eleven-race offering led by a quality field in a $20,000 conditioned trot.

A parade of stars have taken command of The Meadowlands' trotting ranks over the first quarter of the season with Muscles Diamond, Crosbys Clam Bake, B Yoyo and Opulent Yankee trading blows at the top through the winter months before Meladys Monet joined the fray in March.

Those five remain in the mix, joined by quality performers such as former world record holder Wind Of The North, high percentage winner J A T O and the aforementioned Second Sister representing the ladies resulting in a very competitive horse race.

Meladys Monet has been awarded the slight favourite's role, paired this week with the estimable talents of David Miller for trainer Kevin McDermott and owner Melady Enterprises. He shows up every week and does his work to the tune of over a million dollars in his racing career and will begin from the outside post eight on Friday.

As tax season approaches The Meadowlands offers as a promotion the Tax Relief Sweepstakes which amounts to free money for the contestants. Stop by the customer service desk to enter for a chance to get some.
