EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. –
Thanks to the Meadowlands and SportsNet New York (SNY) live harness racing will
come right into fans’ living rooms Friday night from the sport’s top track.
That’s the night
“Meadowlands Harness Live” begins its 10-week Friday night run on SNY by
bringing three live races to lovers of the sulky sport, with the track’s Dave
Brower serving as host, while Hall of Famer Bob “Hollywood” Heyden and the
recently hired Dave Little – the former racing editor at the New York Daily
News – offer color commentary and selections.
SNY is the official
television home of the New York Mets, giving exclusive access to more than 125
live telecasts each season. The network is also home to the New York Jets, as
well as the UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams. SNY is available in New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania, and nationally on
DIRECTV, Verizon FiOS and Frontier, and is available in approximately 8 million
homes in the New York Metropolitan area and 12 million homes across the
country.
“We are extremely
pleased to bring live racing to the fans who love our product but don’t – or
can’t – get out to the track very often,” said Meadowlands chief operating
officer and general manager Jason Settlemoir. “And we are thrilled to once
again be working with SNY, with whom we have been partnered with for a decade
now.”
“Meadowlands Harness
Live” will air from 9-10 p.m. and have coverage of races 7 through 9. The other
nine telecasts will air on Jan. 12 and Jan. 19, and then after a one-week
hiatus, the show returns on seven straight Fridays beginning Feb. 2 through March
16.
Live racing at the
Meadowlands is on Friday and Saturday evenings. Post time is 6:35 p.m.
