East Rutherford, NJ - Friday signals the weekly start to live racing at The
Meadowlands. The weekend begins with an eleven race offering led by a quality
field of eight in the seventh race, a $20,000 conditioned trot.
The first quarter of the
racing season have seen a parade of stars command the trotting
ranks with Muscles Diamond, Crosby's Clam Bake, B Yoyo and Opulent
Yankee trading blows at the top through the winter months before Melady's
Monet joined the fray in March.
Those five remain in the
mix, joined by quality performers such as former world record
holder Wind Of The North, high percentage winner JATO and former Ontario
Sires Stakes star Second Sister representing the ladies resulting in
a very competitive horse race.
Melady's Monet has been
awarded the slight favorite's role, paired this week with the estimable talents
of David Miller for trainer Kevin McDermott and owner Melady Enterprises. He
shows up every week and does his work to the tune of over a million dollars in
his racing career and will begin from the outside post eight on Friday.
