East Rutherford, NJ - The
Meadowlands has eleven races carded for Saturday with a variety of overnight
races making up the program.
The second race is an interesting
blend of sophomore pacing fillies hailing from a variety of regional
programs getting a start in before their respective state bred stakes
begin.
Trainer Tony Alagna has an
interesting pair of PA eligible lightly raced, blue-blooded lasses that
both fetched a big price at the yearling market.
She's Watching (post 3) is a
Rocknroll Hanover three-quarter sib to He's Watching who won the 2014
Meadowlands Pace in record time. She demanded a $200,000 nod by George Segal
(as Brittany Farms) and Marvin Katz to end the bidding as a Harrisburg
yearling. She's Watching made a pair of starts at two, hinting at great
promise by winning both before succumbing to a fracture that effectively ended
her campaign. Her return to the races last week was an imposing come from
behind 1:53.2 score with driver Scott Zeron motionless as she clipped off a
26.2 final quarter.
Stablemate Tori Hanover is posted
just to the outside of She's Watching for driver Joe Bongiorno. The
Somebeachsomewhere filly is from Trim Hanover, making the $135,000
Harrisburg purchase by Brittany and Jeff Snyder a half sister to
Brittany's champion filly of a few season's ago American Jewel. Tori won
three of eight starts at two, one a Grand Circuit tally in a Breeders
Crown elimination before being put away.
Jaye's A Lady is an Ohio-sires
McArdle filly who split here time between state bred and Grand Circuit tests as
well. The Caviart Farms homebred took her 1:55.3 mark in an Ohio stakes at
Delaware County Fair last summer for trainer Nancy Johansson. Brett Miller is
listed to drive.
Planet Rock represents the Empire
state, earning more than $200,000 as a freshman while winning eight races for
owner Ken Jacobs. She had a pair of Meadowlands qualifiers and raced well in an
elimination for the Lismore from a no chance spot at Yonkers last week.
Tim Tetrick drives Planet Rock for Linda Toscano.
Just how much pork can you eat? The
answer to that question could net you $500 if your consumption surpasses that
of all other contestants in the 2nd Annual Pork Roll Eating Competition. Each contestant
must sign the "waiver form" before participating, "pork roll
judges" have final decision over all eating questions/calls.
