Thursday at The Meadowlands

East Rutherford, NJ - With virtually all other racetracks in the Northeast out of action, The Meadowlands will see an unusually deep entry box over the next few weeks as evidenced by the ten overflow fields on the Thursday night card. Though the Thursday program was originally slated to consist of nine races, the number of horses entered and the lack of options for them to get raced resulted in the addition of a tenth race with a big box expected for the weekend.

Featured on Thursday is the $12,500 final of the Starter Allowance "Race for the G-Notes" for pacers as race six. Espirit De Kayjay A shows nothing but wins in his past performance and will be the heavy favorite to sweep the series from post five for driver Andy Miller. The competition is led by May I Cruise West (PP #9 Brett Miller) and Walks Of Life (PP #3 Eric Abbatiello) who each took a preliminary leg as well.

The wagering attractions on Thursday are the Survivor Pick 10 with the guaranteed $10,000 pool and the last race Super Hi-5 Jackpot carry-over pool continues to build and is now at $43,831. Get an early start on the handicapping with free program pages.
