‘Opulent’/‘Demon’ Showdown Friday
Friday night brings with it another intriguing 13-race card at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
The blend of races touches all the bases. The card will open with a division of the GSY Driving Club. After that, trotters and pacers, both young and old, will fill out the races, which will feature nine and ten-horse fields all evening long.
Theresademoninme (PP8 Yannick Gingras) and Opulent Yankee (PP9, Andy Miller) will square off again in the $20,000 trotting feature (Race 8). Last week the pair duelled the length of the stretch through a 27-second final quarter before Opulent Yankee just got up on the wire to prevail in the photo.
The horizontal exotics are guaranteed; with the Pick 4 and 5s offering remarkable value, the survivor bet continuing to return substantial payoffs, and the last-race Hi-5 Jackpot pool over $84,000. Get your free program pages for some of the wagers on the Meadowlands website.
Post time remains 6:35 p.m.
