The Meadowlands Racetrack hosts racing every Friday and Saturday plus Thursday, Dec. 1 with a 6:20 p.m. post time.
Those looking for a special diner to kick off the holiday season will enjoy the six-course French Wine Dinner. The dinner takes place in Pink, the track’s tiered dining room that overlooks the live race action. The dinner is $79.95 per person (excluding tax & gratuity). Guests on Dec. 3 can also snag a 2023 calendar featuring the best horses of 2022. Calendars will be available at the players club desk beginning at 6 p.m.
The track is proud to once again work with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and former NY Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa and serve as an official Toys for Tots donation site. New, unwrapped toys will be collected at the track through Dec. 9. On Friday, Dec. 9, Enunwa will be onsite collecting toys and taking selfies with fans 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the track Clubhouse Lobby. WPIX-11 sportscaster Justin Walters will emcee this special event. Those that donate also have a chance to win autographed NY Jets collectables – including mini footballs and Christmas ornaments.
On Saturday, Dec.10, the buffet theme, served in Pink and Trotters, is “holidays around the world” featuring delicious holiday foods from around the globe. The $54.95 (plus tax and gratuity) is loaded with celebration favourites including hand-carved prime rib with herb sauce, roasted leg of lamb, potato latkes and sweet potato pie.
The Meadowlands closes out 2022 with Fan Appreciation Night. Guests can enjoy $1 hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels and soda and $2 Bud and Bud Light. A free fireworks show follows the night’s race card.
