Due to the cancellation of racing on Thursday, January 2nd due to a
winter storm, The Meadowlands and the Standardbred Breeders and Owners
Association of New Jersey have reached an agreement to add live racing on
Thursday March 13th, to make up the lost day from earlier in the
meet.
“We are glad to be able to make up this lost day for our horsemen,” said SBOA
President, Tommy Luchento. “It’s great to have the kind of relationship
with The Meadowlands where we can approach them and easily work together in the
best interest of our horsemen.”
“The Meadowlands wants to give the horsemen of New Jersey every opportunity to
get their horses raced,” said Director of Racing Operations, Darin Zoccali.
“Obviously, this has not been an ideal winter from a weather standpoint
and when our racing is impacted by winter weather, the SBOA is very easy to
work with in developing a contingency plan.”

Following the Super Bowl break, racing resumes at The Meadowlands on Thursday
February 6th, featuring a pick 5 carryover of $18,083.40. The
Meadowlands and Trackmaster have worked out an agreement for past performances
for that pick 5 sequence to be posted, free of charge, on The Meadowlands
website at http://meadowlandsracetrack.com/content.aspx?id=3357.
