EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Management at
Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment announced Wednesday morning that post
time will move to 6:20 p.m., effective Friday, March 19.
“This is in response to our fans who
want to bet our entire card but appreciate getting home a little bit earlier,”
said Big M Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir of the
track shifting post time 20 minutes later than what has been the norm since
Dec. 26. “We have seen solid wagering on our early races that have been taking
place in the before-7 p.m. window. Those races have, in effect, replaced the races
in the after-11 p.m. window, where wagering had not been as strong when we had
our post time at 7:15 p.m.”
Racing will be conducted on the usual
Friday and Saturday basis all the way through Hambletonian Day, Saturday,
August 7.
Post time for this weekend’s races
(March 12-13) will be 6 p.m.
