Cumberland, ME – There is a lot happening at Cumberland Raceway this weekend as a three-day run starts on Friday (July 24) and rolls through Sunday (July 26) with a grand total of 43 races going post-ward. In addition to the abundant on-track action, on Saturday (July 25) First Tracks will carry the entire 16-race card from The Meadows, featuring the 60th renewal of the Grade 1 $420,000 Delvin Miller Adios.
Friday’s card features three $15,000-plus divisions of the Maine Sire Stakes for 2-year-old pacing colts and geldings. With the freshmen sidesteppers making their second pari-mutuel starts of the season, it will be interesting to see which colt or colts emerge as this season’s top contenders.
In the $6,400 overnight feature, trotter Party At Seven is hoping that the fun never ends as he looks for his third consecutive victory in race five. Saddled with post eight, can the 6-year-old son of Chapter Seven dominate as he did last week? He has been pegged at 4-1 with Nick Graffam in the bike. Remember Titans (5-2, Kevin Switzer Jr., post 5) and TCS Brenda (7-2, McGwire Sowers, post 6) will look to test his staying power.
Saturday’s card starts early with a pair of $15,000-plus non-wagering events for 3-year-old filly pacers in the Maine Sire Stakes, featuring the undefeated Snowonthepines starting at 11:45 am. The action continues with another 13-race pari-mutuel card.
Saturday bettors will also be able watch and wager on the entire card from The Meadows, featuring the 60th renewal of the Delvin Miller Adios Stakes. First post on that card from Washington, PA will be 11:30 a.m.
Sunday’s program also starts early with a pair of non-wagering Maine Sire Stakes for trotters, followed by a 13-race card and several more divisions for Pine Tree State-bred trotters.
First post is 12:15 p.m., during the extended pari-mutuel meeting, which runs through August 2.
