'Big M' Qualifiers Galore; No Rookies

The Meadowlands attracted 351 entries for qualifiers and baby races on Wednesday morning (June 3), but no two-year-old races will take place this week as a result of only four freshmen having entered.

There are again 26 qualifiers, but they will be split over Friday (June 5) and Saturday (June 6) with first post at 9 a.m. each day.

Horsepeople are asked for continued cooperation regarding protocols required by regulatory agencies, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to physical distancing guidelines. Owners are again asked not to attend.

Among the stars over the two mornings of qualifiers are pacing stalwarts like Bettors Wish, Warrawee Ubeaut and Tall Drink Hanover. Additionally, Wiggle It Jiggleit is back at The Meadowlands on Friday for the first time since the 2016 Breeders Crown.

Saturday morning is loaded with many of last season's top freshman trotters and pacers gearing up for the stakes season.

The Meadowlands is racing live on Friday and Saturday with giant 13-race cards and full fields. Free program pages are available for the entire weekend via the track's website.
