M1 - Patriots Star Lineman Visits The Meadowlands

New England Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork joined Meadowlands Racetrack’s Saturday pre-game show to talk about racing Midnight Lawyer, a horse he co-owns, at the East Rutherford, NJ oval. 

Wilfork shares ownership of the 6-year-old pacing gelding with Plainridge Racecourse President and CEO Gary Piontowski, Stephen O’Toole and Alfred Ross.  Although Midnight Lawyer won back-to-back races at the Meadowlands on March 31 and April 7, he could not get to the winner’s circle this evening.

In the interview, find out how Wilfork got involved in horse ownership, who his Kentucky Derby pick is and what his thoughts are on his team’s Super Bowl loss.
