East Rutherford, NJ - Saturday night
racing at The Meadowlands will see top pacer Western Joe go after his sixth win
of the season in the seventh race $20,000 Preferred Handicap.
The son of Western Ideal has
flourished since turning four and frankly speaking has dominated the top class
here all winter, the latest a front end masterpiece in 1:50.4. He'll begin from
the assigned outside post 7 for the meet's leading driver Jimmy Marohn, Jr,
facing a formidable field of veterans that includes Rodeo Romeo, Artful Way and
Bettor's Edge who followed him across the line last week.
Chris Choate conditions Western Joe
for owner Anthony Ruggeri of Mamaroneck, NY.
Off the racetrack it's a huge night
with the annual Pacing for the Cure event to raise funds and awareness for
Multiple Sclerosis, an afternoon NHC
qualifier on thoroughbred simulcast action and a lingering fever of the
good kind with the Money Machine Fever promotion.
The standard horizontal wager
guarantees are in place and the Jackpot Hi-5 carryover is now in excess of
$150,000. Free program pages
and wagering guidance are available on the web.
Post time is 7:15 pm.
