The husband-wife team of Shane and Lauren Tritton teamed up for three victories on Saturday, Sept. 6 at The Meadowlands, with each adding another individual win and entering the history books for different reasons.

Lauren Tritton one-upped herself with four wins just two weeks after she became the first female driver in history to win three races on a Meadowlands program. And Shane Tritton was by far the big cheese of the trainer colony, becoming the first conditioner this year to win four races on a Meadowlands card.

Their first win came as a pair as Renaldo N ($3) was dominant in the fourth race, winning by seven lengths in 1:50. Shane Tritton then took the lead in the intra-marriage standings as Muscle Factory A ($7.40) took Race 6 by a nose with Yogi Sheridan in the bike. The Trittons then combined to win the eighth race with Rhyds Superfly Gb ($3) by a half-length in 1:50.4 and the ninth with Rydingtothewire ($4) by the same margin with 1:51 on the timer. Lauren Tritton completed her grand slam with a pocket-popping victory by a neck in 1:54.4 in Race 12.

With his Saturday quadruple, Shane Tritton reached 50 wins in 2025, coming off a career-best year in North America of 82 tallies. The trainer has recorded 352 victories in his six seasons in the United States.

Lauren Tritton tallied her 27th victory of the year and improved her win rate to 22.7 per cent in the sulky. She is now five wins shy of her personal best season in wins. She was the top driver of the day on the Saturday card.

In the $24,306 featured high-end conditioned pace, the Jeff Cullipher-trained Christopher Dance N displayed a new weapon in his arsenal after two straight wire-to-wire victories as he upped his winning streak to three. The Australian import’s first charted North American line came in a Meadowlands qualifier on Aug. 1, and after going off stride in his pari-mutuel debut in the States, it has been nothing but strawberries and cream ever since.

In the early going, it was Caveman A (Mark Herschberger) firing to the top in :26.4 before 5-1 second choice South Beach Star took the point. Driver George Napolitano Jr. kept the leader rolling, hitting the half in :54.3, as 1-9 public choice Christopher Dance N vacated the five-hole in search of a live tow.

That would come in the form of Camara Moment (Jack Callaghan), who was flushed out of the three-hole by the eventual winner as South Beach Star reached three-quarters in 1:22.2. South Beach Star was clear off the far turn and was game to the wire, but could not deal with Christopher Dance N, who tipped off cover and easily made his way past the field racing in the three-path through the stretch to score from off the pace. Winning driver Johnathan Ahle had very little to do in the bike nearing the wire for a second straight Big M score with his charge.

The winning margin was 1-1/4 lengths in a mile that was timed in a lifetime-best 1:49.3. South Beach Star out-gamed Camara Moment in the race for place.

“I kind of assumed that I’d be coming off the pace,” said Ahle. “He can do it either way. We got a perfect second-over trip. It worked out well. It was good to follow a helmet. He’s a real nice horse and I wasn’t surprised that he won again.”

Christopher Dance N, a five-year-old son of Sweet Lou-Just Dance, returned $2.20 to win while upping his lifetime stats to eight wins from just 16 lifetime starts, good for earnings of $214,690 for owner Pollack Racing LLC.

There were no winning tickets sold on the 20-cent Pick-6, creating a carryover of $3,727 for Friday’s card. In addition, nobody had a ticket that read 4-9-3-2-7 on the 14th race 10-cent Hi-5 (Pentafecta), meaning that wager will have a carryover of $18,290 heading into Friday’s finale.

Due to the forecasted severe weather for the night, the Corgi Cup event was postponed. It has been rescheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18th.

All-source handle on the 14-race program totaled $2,207,197. Racing resumes Friday at 6:20 p.m., marking the final weekend of live harness action. The “Monmouth at The Meadowlands” Thoroughbred turf meeting will then take over The Big M for four weeks before harness returns on Oct. 18.
