Shiaway St Pat final heads Friday card at The Meadowlands
April 19, 2018,from the Meadowlands Media Relations Department
East Rutherford, NJ — Friday night (April 20) at The Meadowlands brings with it a 10-race live card featuring the $52,500 final of the Shiaway St Pat series for trotters.
An interesting field it is, with the ultra impressive leg one winner Deep Impact getting a slight 3-1 nod from the oddsmaker after skipping last week’s leg two. The carefully managed 5-year-old rolled right on by the field in a career best 1:53.1 a fortnight ago, looking like there was plenty left in the tank. He’ll begin from post nine for trainer/driver Ake Svanstedt and owner the Van Camp Trotting Corporation.
Deep Impact, however, is not in by himself and faces another fast, fresh horse in the speedy Sutton, leaving from post seven for Andy Miller. After missing an entire season, Sutton disappointed as the heavy favorite in the first leg but redeemed himself with a scorching 1:51.3 last week and will have to be dealt with in the final. Julie Miller trains the accomplished 5-year-old for Andy’s interest as Andy Miller Stable and partners Jason and Doug Allen.
We’re giving away lawn mowers, too, via the “Spring Spruce Up” promotion. The guarantees are in place and the Jackpot Super Hi-5 carryover is way up to $192,943. Get your free past performances for selected wagers here. Post time is 7:15 p.m.
- Sutton scores in Big M’s Shiaway St Pat Series final (Friday, April 20, 2018)
After a successful 3-year-old campaign in 2016 that saw him bank a little more than $360,000 and finish third in the Hambletonian behind Marion Marauder and Southwind Frank, Sutton did not race at all last year. He proved worth the wait, taking the $52,500 Shiaway St Pat Series final for trotters at the Meadowlands Friday night (April 20).
