East
Rutherford, NJ- Saturday night at
The Meadowlands is bursting with action and activities. The racing
action is fierce with some really competitive fields coming together. There are
several higher class conditions and three divisions of the popular Racing for
G-Notes short series.
Vegas Vacation gave a
really good account of himself in his very first start at The
Meadowlands last week, finishing a good second to a razor sharp Bettor's
Edge. He actually drops a class here but it's no easy stroll with
several formful foes including a raging Rockin Robert from the rail,
Reuben Brogden N off the layoff and the always dangerous National Seelster
awaiting him in Saturday's second race. Jimmy Marohn, Jr drives
"Vegas" for trainer Andrew Harris.
There's another division
of that same class in race 11 and Calvin B (Corey Callahan) looks like the
horse to beat in that one. He's always done well over the mile for owner
Delores Smiel and trainer Heidi Rohr and is rounding into top form.
Pansformative is a danger from his inside post and Mattamerican should move
forward off a no chance spot at Yonkers.
The top class is a
$15,000 condition pace (race 7) with a field of nine really nice
horses that match up really well. Doctor Butch is the slight morning line
choice over Ontario Success and Hillbilly Hanover in that one. "Butch"
is the kind of horse everyone would like to have, grinding out a few hundred
thousand every season for owner Kenny Jacobs and trainer Linda Toscano. Marohn
has the drive on this one, too.
All the standard
horizontal guarantees are in place with the largest pools in all of harness
racing and free program pages are available for the Late
Pick 4.
Off the track there's a chili cook-off with a people's choice
element so you can taste and vote, too. The "Own A
Horse" sign up ends Saturday, so get that done right away!
Trackside dining is available in Pink.
Racing begins at 7:15
p.m.
