Post time for The Meadowlands will be moved to 6:35 P.M. for the eight weeks, encompassing the entire months of January and February. This move comes on the heels of consecutive Saturday nights that produces nearly $7.4 Million in combined handle.
"It is impossible
to ignore the success we have had the past two Saturday nights of racing,"
said General Manager, Jason Settlemoir. "Granted, we had two
additional races each night, but the average per-race handle has shown
significant gains as well. Moving post time up will enable us to card
14-race programs while our horse population supports it. This gives our
horsemen additional opportunities to race as well."
It is anticipated The
Meadowlands will be able to card 14-races each night for the next two
months. The wagering format will remain the same as the past two
weekends, with the Pick Five beginning in race three, Early Pick Four in
race five and Late Pick Four in race nine. The Jackpot Super Hi-5 wagers
will be offered in races seven and 14.
