Race Secretary Pete Koch has added another innovative short
series to The Meadowlands'
condition sheet for the coming week.
Named for one of those great old campaigners that
called The Big M home for years, The Gina Giant, the class requires a
start for a claiming tag of $12,500 or less in their last three
starts. There will be no claiming of horses in the series. Divisions
will be raced on Saturday, April 12 for $12,500 and the top
finishers will return the following Saturday for a $20,000 final.
Also on the Friday and Saturday menu are $20,000 3
year old Opens for all sexes and gaits designated as preps for the John F.
Simpson Memorial 3 year old stakes. The "Simpsons" will open the Grand Circuit
schedule for 2013 sophomores at The Meadowlands.
The box closes at 9am on Monday morning for Friday's races
and the condition
sheet is available on the web.
