Meadowlands Friday Post Time 7:15


East Rutherford, NJ - The Meadowlands returns to its prime time post time of 7:15 pm with an eleven race program on the evening of Friday, March 23. This will remain the post time throughout the balance of the meet with the exception of July 7 & 14 which will both begin with an early post time.

It's trotters in the featured second race with a familiar favorite in the ultra-consistent Opulent Yankee taking on six rivals. Driver Andy Miller converted a perfect pocket trip to upset Gural Hanover last week and will have to overcome the outside 7 post in here to repeat. Julie Miller trains for Little E, LLC, Dave Stolz and Art Geiger.

There's a new face in the race this week as Dekeyser makes his Meadowlands debut from post six for the combination of owner Paul Lang and trainer Tom Fanning. The Ohio-bred Dekeyser won 15 of 24 and $123,365 last season in the Buckeye state, making the move into the Fanning barn over the winter break. Brett Miller has the drive.

Program pages for the Late Pick 4 and Jackpot Super Hi-5 carryover, now at $148,306 are available for your perusal for free.

Friday offers the first of the "Casual Friday" buffet dinner, including the intriguing "Make Your Own Soup" bar in Pink where two hungry fans may dine for the very reasonable price of $39.95.

Meadowlands fans with a fever for more money may find relief in this Friday's "Money Machine Fever" promotion.

Remember...7:15 pm.
