The stars of the driving colony were Dave Miller and Simon
Allard. Miller continues his torrid streak to start the meet, while
Allard put forth a great effort on the night, both winning three races.
Allard told Bob “Hollywood” Heyden in a back-paddock interview that he “plans
on sticking around at The Meadowlands more this year,” as it is a “great place
to drive.” Two of Allard’s wins came while teaming up with
brother/trainer Rene Allard.
At the betting windows, the results were staggering.
The total all sources handle of $3,326,373 carried an additional $1,044,086
when compared to the same Saturday last year. That marked a remarkable 46
percent increase over that same day one year ago. In addition, the on-track
handle of $409,531 was an increase of 48 percent over the on track handle from
one year ago.
Racing resumes on Thursday with first post time at 7:15 P.M,
followed by the Friday program and the stakes final packed card on
Saturday. For more information log onto meadowlandsracetrack.com
