East Rutherford, NJ - While the live racing this weekend at The Meadowlands will
feature the $1.2 million finals of the TVG Championship Series on Saturday night,
Friday's card is an amalgamation of overnight events composed largely of
trotters and pacing mares.
A solid field of nine
distaff pacers will go forth for a purse of $17,500 in race seven.
From her assigned outside post, Not Before Eight must be considered a
prime contender for young driver Kyle Husted. Kyle picked up the drive for top
trainer Steve Elliott, a grand opportunity for the 25 year-old Midwesterner to
cultivate a relationship that may yield future benefits.
Not Before Eight has a
powerful closing kick as evidenced by the 26.2 end to her 1:49.3 career best
taken over the East Rutherford mile oval on Hambletonian eve. Chances
are any path to a victory on Friday will be fashioned from well back
early on, this being her return after a brief freshening. Ernest Hartman of
Toledo, Ohio owns the four-year-old Bettors Delight mare.
The lead promotion on
Friday is the recognition of our servicemen with a 50% discount on the Pink buffet
for all veterans.
As per usual, free program pages are available for
the $50,000 Guaranteed Late Pick-4 wager.
