Rutherford, NJ - When the entry box
closed at 9:00 am today for the bevy of stakes this coming weekend as the 2015
Meadowlands Championship Meet concludes, some required elimination races while
others did not. All of these stakes have their finals scheduled for
Hambletonian Day, August 8.
The $500,000
Hambletonian Oaks drew sixteen three-year-old filly trotters which split
precisely into a pair of eight filly $35,000 elims carded races six and
seven on Saturday, August 1.
Freshman trotters will
compete in $20,000 elimination races on Friday, July 31. The Peter
Haughton Memorial (final purse 349,850) attracted nineteen colts who will
vie for a final berth in races five and nine. Freshman fillies entered for the
newly christened Jim Doherty Memorial (final $389,450) numbered twenty six and
will sort themselves out in races two, four and eight.
The stakes for older
horses required no elimination races and although many of those entered will
compete in Open classes offered in lieu, all will go directly to the Finals of
their respective events.
The $301,500 John
Cashman Memorial attracted an even dozen older trotters. Those twelve will race
at the route distance of a mile and an eighth in the August 8 final.
