Live racing will return to the Meadowlands Racetrack on Friday. The track will present an evening card composed of 11 races.
Pacing mares will populate the featured Race 7 where reigning queen of the class Icommandmyspirit will face several Yonkers shippers who seek to dethrone her.
Icommandmyspirit has made a rapid ascent up the Meadowlands class ladder, as she has won three of her last four starts beginning with a NW $5,000 Last 5 win on February 17 through a win against this NW $15,000 Last 5 class on March 10. Jim Marohn Jr. has steered her in each of those wins and will drive again Friday for trainer John Bavosi and owner Cheryl Costello. The duo will start from Post 6.
The competition will be led by I Know It All, who shows competitive lines against the Yonkers Open types. Abbijade Hanover and Mystical Nectar, both winners in their last races, will also be in the field.
Post time is 7:15 p.m.
