Saturday Night at the Meds

East Rutherford, NJ – The Saturday night offering from The Meadowlands is composed of twelve competitive events including four divisions of conditioned pacers fighting for a berth in next week’s “Dash for the G-Note” finals.

The feature is race six, a $15,000 conditioned pace led by the winner of the same class one week ago, Ashley’s Husband. With consistently improving form over the past few seasons, the Illinois bred son of Henry Clay is off to a good start at age six for owner Bill Donovan and trainer Kyle Spanola. Usually a deep closer, Ashley’s Husband has been kept closer to the pace these past few weeks, grinding up first over to win for driver Vinnie Ginsburg Saturday last.

The competition is deep with Pansformative likely to press the pace early and Dovuto Hanover known for his deadly late kick. Also noteworthy is the presence of My Hero Ron who makes his first start as a four-year-old after a solid sophomore campaign for the Burke barn.

Victory Sports Bar will broadcast the NCAA Final Four games along with racing from everywhere and continues to offer discounted food and drink specials. A Player’s Club “Swipe & Score” promotion offers the opportunity to win a betting voucher worth up to $1,500.

For our faithful, a “Last Chance” qualifier for the World Harness Handicapping Contest is a must-play if you hope to gain entry into the season’s biggest contest on April 30 and finally, the Late Pick 4 program pages are available every week, courtesy of Trackmaster.
