East
Rutherford, NJ - The Meadowlands has a
long day in store for horseplayers on Saturday with the $30 million Dubai World
Cup card simulcast from half-way around the world opening the doors at 8:30 in
the morning, an important handicapping contest all
afternoon and a dozen live races covering the evening hours.
The live races are a
mixed bag with competitive fields and guaranteed horizontal wagers to
hold the interest of the wagering faithful.
Pacing horses square off
in the featured seventh for a purse of $18,000 where Millenium Wheel seeks
his third straight since being shipped to The Meadowlands by trainer Joe
Hundertpfund, Jr. Driver Andy Miller has worked out up close trips
for Millenium Wheel in both prior Meadowlands scores and is back in the
sulky from post eight for owners William Sartin and Mark Salerno on Saturday.
The competition is deep
with Chevals Clivesdale who was third beaten just a neck in the class last
week offering a price from post one, The Rock fits well against these,
Winwood Mac is making his seasonal bow and brings a strong stakes resume from
the mid-west and the accomplished New Zealand invader Our Sky Major makes his
Meadowlands debut from the outside.
Throughout the day,
Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment will provide horseplayers with one of
their first opportunities to qualify for the 2018 NTRA National Horseplayers
Championship (NHC) presented by Racetrack Television Network, STATS Race Lens
and Treasure Island with a qualifying event. The Meadowlands qualifier will
offer three guaranteed seats to the NHC .
