The Meadowlands Racetrack will celebrate its 40th anniversary during the opening weekend of its Fall Meet on Saturday, October 22. To kick off the countdown to the celebration, the legendary New Jersey horse racing facility will post videos of the track’s 40 most memorable races, one each day leading up to the anniversary celebration.

The first video will be posted to the track’s Facebook and Twitter pages on Monday, September 12.

“Few tracks in the sport have been the site of as many historic and memorable races as the Meadowlands,” said GM/COO Jason M. Settlemoir. “I think our fans will really enjoy celebrating 40 years of history while ramping up their enthusiasm and support for the next 40 years of world-class racing here in New Jersey.”

The track will also run a social media contest beginning September 30 and running through October 14. Fans are invited to post a personal photo of their favorite memory from the past 40 years at the Meadowlands on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using the hashtag #40AndForward. Some possible ideas would be winner’s circle photos, pictures of friends at the races, or even a selfie with your favorite horse or driver.

Five winners will be selected to each receive a $100 betting voucher and an invitation, with a guest, to the VIP Anniversary Party on October 22 at Victory Sports Bar. For full contest details, please visit playmeadowlands.com.
