East Rutherford, NJ – The ongoing
return of last year’s stars to the racetrack resumes on Saturday night at
The Meadowlands. An Open Handicap Pace for a purse of $25,000 (race 11) will be
the stage for Always B Miki’s seasonal debut where he’ll face six talented
foes.
Always B Miki got a very
late start to his 2015 campaign but made the most of the time he had. “Miki”
won all four starts of his 2015 starts under 1:50 including the Breeders Crown
and American National while amassing over $300,000 for owners Bluewood Stable,
Roll The Dice Stable and Christina Takter.
Trainer Jimmy Takter and
driver Dave Miller have handled some of the best over the course of their
careers and both seem absolutely giddy with the possibilities Always B Miki
presents for the upcoming season.
The race is by no
means an exhibition. A couple of the division’s more formidable performers
in dual millionaire JK Endofanera and emerging star Rockeyed Optomist, fresh
from his 1:48.2 Dover track record, are posted just to the inside of the
favorite.
Atta Boy Dan and Smart
Rokker have been plying their trade at Dover and were in close attendance to
Rockeyed Optomist in his record mile last week while McArdles Lightning and
Dovuto Hanover have caught fire lately and were but a head apart in their last
Meadowlands feature appearance.
Saturday is your last
chance to enter for a free ride to the Kentucky Derby on May 7. Speaking of
the Derby, reservations in Pink for the big day are
going fast so phone in and secure a table for the evening.
We’ve got action and
lots of it this weekend at The Meadowlands. Post time is 7:15 p.m.
