Just when you think you have all the answers, life changes the questions. Such is the case for the 2025 Meadowlands Pace.
Slated for this Saturday, July 12 at The Meadowlands, the 2025 Meadowlands Pace features some of the top three-year-old male pacers in the sport, but the complexion of this Grade 1 event changed dramatically on Monday, July 7 when the connections of early 7-5 morning line favourite Louprint announced that harness racing's top ranked horse will be out of action for at least several weeks after emergency surgery.
Thus, a field of nine pacers will square off on Saturday night in the Meadowlands Pace, and with the scratch of Louprint a new morning line has been set for the $656,000 USD event. The new field for the 2025 Meadowlands Pace, with post position, horse, driver, trainer and morning line odds, is as follows:
Post – Horse – Driver – Trainer – Odds
1. Papis Pistol – Dave Miller – Sam DePinto – 9-2
2. Papis Rocket – Yannick Gingras – Ron Burke – 20-1
3. Knockout Round – Andy McCarthy – Tony Alagna – 25-1
4. Prince Hal Hanover – Todd McCarthy – Dr. Ian Moore – 7-2
5. Captain Optimistic – Dexter Dunn – Nancy Takter – 3-1
6. Fallout – Tim Tetrick – Tony Alagna – 6-1
7. Joel And The Jets – Louis-Philippe Roy – Dr. Ian Moore – 15-1
8. Manolete – Scott Zeron – Bruce Saunders – 12-1
9. Madden Oaks – Braxten Boyd – Cam Capone – 5-2
