twelve race card at The Meadowlands features a solid group of eight older
pacers in the seventh race for a purse of $17,500.
Art History has captured the fancy of
the odds-maker at 2-1 from the outside. A winner three times in ten starts this
season, Art History seems to do his best racing over the mile oval. Jimmy
Marohn, Jr has the driving assignment for trainer Steve Elliott and owners Ken
Klein and Old Block Stables.
Mel Mara races for new connections on
Saturday after private purchase by Robert Cooper and J&T Silva following a
couple of impressive starts this season. Dylan Davis is the new trainer and
Corey Callahan keeps the drive on the talented but delicate seven-year-old son
of Lis Mara.
The Meadowlands hosts the final of
the World
Harness Handicapping Challenge on Saturday night. It is the largest
of the harness contests and a few openings remain if you feel like taking a
shot.
The Kentucky Derby is but a week away
and if you’d care to watch it at the track The Meadowlands offers a number of comfortable
options.
