Entering the Super Bowl,
Time To Quit was labeled the horse to beat. Wednesday night, he lived up
to that advanced billing, scoring a decisive 1:55.1 triumph on a bitterly cold
night in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
One week removed from a
hard fought and game win in the second round of the series, Yannick Gingras
confidently guided his trotter to the lead past the quarter. Over the
next half mile several contenders went off-stride including Home Turf and
Cajole Hanover leaving the race all to Time To Quit, who never faced a
challenge and coasted to the victory for Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi
LLC and Phillip Collura for trainer Ron Burke.
Time To Quit will
reappear in the Charles Singer Memorial Trotting Series which gets underway
Thursday, February 13th.
Wednesday marked the
last night of live racing at The Meadowlands until after The Super Bowl.
Live racing will resume on Thursday, February 6th. That card will
include a carryover in the Pick 5, as no one cashed a Pick 5 ticket Wednesday
at The Meadowlands thanks to a win by Delco Willobee who scored in race 2 for
Jim Marohn Jr. at 96-1. The Pick 5 carryover into the Thursday, February
6th program will be $18,083.
Simulcasting continues
at The Meadowlands through this Sunday January 26th. The Meadowlands will
be dark for simulcasting from Monday, January 27th through Monday, February 3rd
for Super Bowl festivities. Customers are encouraged to go to Winners
Bayonne for all the simulcasting action during this period, until simulcasting
resumes at The Meadowlands on Tuesday, February 4th. For all information
regarding the simulcasting calendar and the return of live racing on Thursday,
February 6th, visit PlayMeadowlands.com.
