M1 - Meadowlands Cancels Live Racing and Evening Simulcasting at both Meadowlands and Winners OTW



With the forecasted winter storm, Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment is canceling tonight’s live racing.  In an effort to accommodate those horsemen who entered to race tonight, the entire race card including the first round of the Super Bowl trotting series will be moved to Thursday, January 9, there will be no new draw for next Thursday.  All horses will retain their post positions and program numbers. We understand that due to a minimal amount of racetracks open this time of year our entry box is often overflowing.  We do not want those horsemen scheduled to race their horses tonight to lose that opportunity.  We feel this fair for all horsemen and this decision was made with the full support of the SBOANJ. 

Tomorrow morning’s qualifiers will be moved to Saturday, January 4th at 10 am. 

The Meadowlands and Winners OTW will also end simulcasting at 6 pm tonight.  

Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment is scheduled to resume live racing at 7:15 p.m. Friday.  Please check PlayMeadowlands.com for updates on Friday’s simulcasting re-opening.
