The Meadowlands Racetrack has announced that it has requested permission from the New Jersey Racing Commission (NJRC) to hold qualifying races on Saturday, May 30 that will be open to include horses stabled in states other than New Jersey.

Due to the expected overwhelming response and the physical limitations imposed by COVID-19 protocol, the Meadowlands will give preference to entries on horses that are eligible to Meadowlands stakes, then from those trainers who race regularly at the Meadowlands.

Track officials are continuing to closely monitor the prospects of returning to racing at the Meadowlands as soon as possible and will continue to advise horsepeople on the progress made.
