Double points, discounts and a free handicapping contest highlight this weekend’s racing at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

On Thursday, December 20, players club points are doubled and the lead promotion, "It’s Your Lucky Day," will return gambling losses for the day to one fortunate Players Club member. Fans can also enter to win a grocery gift card, just in time for the Christmas holiday.

On Friday, fans will enjoy $1 beer and soda each time the selected driver, Andy Miller, wins a race.

Saturday marks the final fan appreciation night for 2018. $1 specials will be offered on hot dogs, sodas, pretzels and popcorn at the Café, Simulcast bar & Grandstand Lounge from 7-10 p.m.

A harness handicapping contest is also on tap for Saturday. This free handicapping contest has a Grand Prize of a $1,300 seat into the World Harness Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.

Fans may register up until 7:15 p.m. on the night of the contest. The contest format requires players to make a mythical $2 "across the board" wager on one horse in races 2 – 10 at the Meadowlands. The winner is determined by the player that amasses the largest mythical bankroll from their selections.
