EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (March 9, 2017) – The final

nine-race program including minor upsets with Man of Muscle and Keystone I Wish
in a division of the Dash for the G-Notes series.

featured trot with O U Sexy Guy. O U Sexy Guy won for the 19th time
in his career for trainer Jack Franklin.
The final broadcast of “Meadowlands Harness Live” on SNY
featured Nancy Johansson, trainer of 2014 Horse of the Year JK She’salady, as a
special co-host.
Total handle was $1,453,434 on the 9-race card.
