East Rutherford, NJ – When last seen in these parts, Pinkman was exiting the
winner's circle following his 2015 Hambletonian victory. The altered son
of Explosive Matter returns to The Meadowlands in the sixth race on
Friday, May 13 to face six foes with his sites set squarely on next
week’s opening leg of the Graduate Series.
Pinkman's 2015 season
resulted in his being named as the Dan Patch three-year-old trotter of the
year. He danced virtually every dance, winning eleven of seventeen starts
including the Canadian Trotting Classic and Kentucky Futurity to go along with
the Hambo win while banking over $1.8 million. Leaving from post four
tomorrow night, Pinkman comes in off of a pair of conditioning
qualifiers for Jimmy Takter who trains him for owners Christina Takter,
Jon & Jim Fielding, Joyce McClelland and Herb Liverman. Yannick Gingras
will drive.
Transitioning into the
summer meet, all of The Meadowlands outdoor attractions are now open for
business including Victory Terrace with its spectacular NYC skyline views and a
fashionable bar crowd. Directed toward that demographic is Friday's $50 Spring Handicapping Contest providing an
arena for new fans to compete for cash prizes.
The guaranteed
horizontal wagers are in place, free
program pages for the late Pick-4 are available courtesy of
Trackmaster and the last race Hi-5 Super Jackpot stands at $212,593 to open the
weekend.
Post time is 7:15 p.m.
