East Rutherford, NJ – Racing at The Meadowlands on Saturday, February 25 is an
interesting mix of a dozen pacing races. Included among them are four divisions
of the second leg of the popular “Race for the G-Notes” series made
ultra-competitive by the ensuing scramble for the coveted ten
positions in next week’s $15,000 final.
The overnight feature is
race eleven where the red-hot Patty Harmon sends her streaking
Jacksrluckytoo in pursuit of his fourth win of the new season
for owner John Marvin, Jr. Known for a powerful closing kick, Jacksrluckytoo
shows final quarters in 27 flat or faster, including a mind-numbing 25.3 in a
February 4 win. Jimmy Marohn, Jr has driven Jacksrluckytoo in many of his
Meadowlands starts and has developed a keen sense for just how to position his
mount and when to hit the “turbo-charge” button to get the job done.
It is a move up in class
for Jacksrluckytoo and he’ll face stiff competition led by Ron Burke’s rugged
vet Ontario Success and a pair of Heidi Rohr trainees in Calvin B and Bettor
Rock On N.
The big news in the
grandstand is another leg of the World Harness Handicapping Challenge (WHHC) with four seats in the April 29 final up for grabs. It’s
also “Scratch & Win”
night with prizes ranging from $2 to $500 plus live hot dogs and free
popcorn! Plus enter the 2nd chance drawing to win $100!
Post time is 7:15 p.m.
