East Rutherford, NJ - Horsemen should be aware of a few details as The Meadowlands
returns to live racing next week (Friday, October 21).
To open, Racing
Secretary Pete Koch has included a short series for three-year-olds
of each sex and gait that are Non Winners of $50,000 in 2016 as of the date of
entry for a purse of $12,000. The top finishers will return next weekend
to race for $20,000 added. There is a $100 entry fee for each class. The
condition sheet for October 21 & 22 is available here.
Also, those trainers
with freshmen fillies and colts eligible to the Kindergarten series should be
aware that the conditions were adjusted this year to accept horses in the
final that have made only one start in the series. The language states that any
horse declared for the final that has met the existing two start requirement
would have preference over any one start entrant regardless of point total. You
