East Rutherford, NJ - Saturday's
featured seventh race, a $20,000 Preferred Handicap Pace will be the stage for
the return to racing of the popular veteran and double millionaire Bettor's
Edge.
Away from racing since a solid
third place finish in the $427,400 WR Haughton Memorial on Meadowlands Pace
night last July, Bettor's Edge has had three qualifiers in preparation for
Saturday's race, including a 1:54.4 winning effort in early December.
Now nine years of age, Bettor's
Edge has faced the best of several generations of top class pacers and held his own against
them. As a freshman and sophomore he battled one of the deepest
groups in recent memory including such stalwarts as Sweet Lou, A Rocknroll
Dance, Michael's Power and Heston Blue Chip.
Now racing out of the Jennifer
Lappe barn where he is co-owned by the trainer with Robert Santagata, Bettor's
Edge will start from the outer most post seven with Corey Callahan in the bike.
It's another fourteen race marathon
featuring a wine dinner in Pink and horseplayers may still
enter to qualify for the World Harness Handicapping Championship presented by DerbyWars.com
Post
time is 6:35 p.m.
