M1 - Meadowlands Closes Out Winter Season With Fan Appreciation Night

Giveaways, discounts and a handicapping contest highlight the final night of the Meadowlands’ winter meet on Saturday, April 21. 

All paid admissions will receive a past Meadowlands giveaway item, including hats, mugs, t-shirts and cooler bags.  Plus, $1 specials will be offered on hot dogs, small sodas, coffee and donuts at concession stands.

The 60-second Wagering Spree will also make its debut.  Winners will place as many free $2 exacta bets as they can in 60 seconds.  Contest entry forms and official rules will be available at 5 pm at Guest Service locations.

A $400 harness handicapping contest is also on tap.  The Top 10 receive prize money, while the Top 4 qualify for the World Harness Handicapping Championship.  Players may register between 5 – 6:30 pm in Raceworld Teletheater on the Paddock Level. 

The track is dark next weekend, April 27-28.  Live racing resumes Friday, May 4 with live music and the start of the summer-long Horseplay Car Giveaway.
