The upcoming meet
comes with a few wrinkles, including a re-introduction to Classified Racing,
which will give the Meadowlands customer better betting races, more value and
fewer short priced favorites.
Opening night is
Friday, with post time set for 7:15 p.m. In addition to a tremendous
betting card with full fields making up twelve races, a new bet makes its debut
in the $25,000 Early Pick 4 (Races 3-6). The $15,000 Pick 5 (Races 1-5)
and the $50,000 Late Pick 4 (Races 7-10) make their return to the wagering
format.
Friday night will
also feature many great promotions for the Meadowlands customer. Free
admission and a free live program will get you started. Beat The Boss is
back, where bettors try to take down the boss, Chairman Jeffrey Gural in a
handicapping contest. The Cash It or Stash It promotion returns along
with rides in the starting car and a paddock tour.
Saturday night
features 13 great races with full fields and the 2013 Meadowlands calendar
giveaway. There is a driver autograph session beginning at 6 p.m., That’s My
Driver promotion, rides in the starting car and much more! The Meadowlands
Racetrack will raise the Late Pick 4 (Races 7-10) guarantee on Saturday night
to $75,000 as it reasserts itself as harness racing’s best bet!
There is something
for everyone on opening weekend and there is just one place to be this Friday
and Saturday night, the Meadowlands Racetrack. Post time for both cards
is 7:15 p.m.
