If one invests the time, they can find some extremely useful information at the Meadowlands website, playmeadowlands.com, which can help them cash some big tickets.
Once at the site, handicappers can click on the ‘News and Stats’ tab near the top of the homepage, and then go to ‘Driver/Trainer Standings.’ There, you’ll find an endless amount of numbers provided by StatsMaster, which is powered by TrackMaster.
Some of the data you’ll find may surprise you, and also enable you to get a leg up on those who opt to not use the site, which is always free.
Some of the golden nuggets found after sifting through the rocks include:
• Eric Carlson and Eric Abbatiello both sport a solid UDR of .271 during the month of February
• Marcus Miller has nine wins with trotters thus far in 2018, the most of any driver, while Anthony Napolitano is next with eight
• Given the number of favourites he drives, Yannick Gingras sports a remarkable positive ROI of 111 per cent for his 34 drives in the month of February
• Thus far this year, two drivers with positive ROIs include Abbatiello (53 per cent) and Bill Mann (40 per cent with only three wins from 52 starts!)
• Two top trainers with outstanding ROIs this year include Ron Burke (55 per cent) and Jenn Bongiorno (42 per cent)
