Via release, the East Rutherford, New Jersey racetrack has announced that it will close out its 2009 harness meet on Saturday, August 22 with $1.7 million worth of Breeders Crown events for older horses.

Along with the $350,000 Woodrow Wilson and $400,000 Sweetheart, the Breeders Crown events were originally slated for Friday, August 21, with eliminations the week prior. However, the track will now be dark Friday, August 14 due to a New York Jets pre-season game at home.

Eliminations for the four Breeders Crown open events will now be contested Saturday, August 15.
