At his best, Master Of Law was good enough to beat an all-star field in the Centaur Trotting Classic last summer that included world champion Sebastian K. The problem was that he subsequently suffered through seven straight losses for Dan Patch Trainer of the Year Jimmy Takter.

A preview item from the Meadowlands Racetrack’s publicity department states that Takter added trotting hobbles to Master Of Law’s equipment earlier this year and the gelded son of Deweycheatumnhowe responded with two straight wins. He is owned by the partnership of Lindy Racing, Brittany Farms, Adam Victor & Son and Christina Takter.

Master Of Law will step up in class to face seven rivals in Friday’s $30,000 Open Handicap Trot at the Meadowlands. He will be coupled in the wagering with Lindys Tru Grit. The entry has been installed as the 5-2 second choice on the morning line behind favourite Meladys Monet.

Friday’s 13-race card also features large carryovers in the Jackpot Super High Five wagers. After going un-hit again on Thursday night, the Race 5 carryover stands at $26,227.69 and the last race carryover now sits at $129,346.68.
