Dealt A Winner will make his 5-year-old debut on Saturday.
Dealt A Winner (David Miller) has drawn the rail and been tabbed a slight 2-1 favorite as the 2015 Cane Pace winner in track and world record time makes his 5-year-old debut.
Dealt A Winner endured a non-descript 2016, spent chasing Always B Miki and Wiggle It Jiggleit around the continent. Although his past performance includes an impressive streak of sub-1:50 miles, it is also populated with long odds and no chance trips.
With a pair of useful qualifiers under his belt to prepare, Dealt A Winner finds a friendly spot to embark on the new season for trainer Mark Silva and owner Jeff Snyder.
The competition in the opener is led by a pair of classy, million dollar winning veterans in Bettors Edge (Brett Miller) and Doctor Butch (John Campbell).
The horizontal wager guarantees are in place and you may download free program pages for the $50,000 guaranteed Late Pick-4 for the weekend to get an early start on your selections.
An unfortunate forecast for Saturday’s weather has forced the postponement of the Spring Beer Fest until June 10.
Post time Saturday is 7:15 p.m.
- Dealt A Winner reigns in the rain at Big M (Sunday, May 14, 2017)
On a raw night that saw a heavy rain fall from the start of the card to the end, Dealt A Winner returned to the scene of his biggest career win and scored in the Saturday (May 13) night feature at the Meadowlands, which was an $18,000 conditioned pace. Dealt A Winner, a 5-year-old gelded son of Cam’s Card Shark who won the 2015 Cane Pace in 1:47.3, sat a three-hole trip behind Bettor’s Edge and Doctor Butch.
