The Meadowlands' Saturday night feature is the $15,000 final of a “Dash For The G-Note” dual-leg pacing series.
Among the the eight leg winners leading into Saturday’s final, only Harmon Racing Stable’s Prince Palani was able to repeat. The wagering choice in both of his scores, Prince Palani was able to convert a couple of brilliant steers by driver Jimmy Marohn, Jr. into convincing victories. The possibility of yet another winning trip is enhanced by his drawing the coveted rail position in Saturday’s final, slated as Race Four. The team behind Prince Palani is a family affair as Harmon Racing consists of the husband-and-wife team of Rob and Patti.
Also on the bill is an $18,000 conditioned pace where Team Harmon sends out the streaking Jacksrluckytoo also in quest of his third straight win.
Marohn is again at the controls of this deep closer who has been tracking foes like a guided missile lately, resulting in a "hit" to the wire first in half of his eight seasonal starts. Jacksrluckytoo made many smiles with his successful February run as he was part of the popular "Own A Horse" contest, earning his temporary owners three trips to the winner's circle.
