East Rutherford, NJ — The Saturday night (Nov. 28) card at The Meadowlands is another full boat, featuring large fields among the 13 pari-mutuel puzzlers.

A hard-hitting group of pacers will slug it out in the night’s 12th race, with a pair of the contenders coming back from an entire season away from the races.

Emeritus Maximus was a successful stakes performer at age three and had a solid season last year at four for the Cancelliere brothers but the 2015 season slipped by without a pari-mutuel start before last week. His return was a purposeful effort, pacing in 1:50.2, beaten only three lengths against solid company. He’s drawn the rail and will take play in here with John Campbell aboard.

Jet Airway has a similar slate for this year, having two Meadowlands qualifiers coming into tonight’s race. He banked more than $300,000 last season at three for owner/trainer Erv Miller and partners Tangie Massey, Paul Sunderhaus and Larry Agle with his last start almost exactly one year ago in the 2014 Breeders Crown eliminations at The Meadowlands. He meets an accomplished group in his return for driver Marcus Miller.

Post time is 7 p.m. For more information on all things Meadowlands, including the various dining options while enjoying the harness racing, visit the track website.
