East Rutherford, NJ – Head for the Chateau Grande in East Brunswick, NJ, on Tuesday (Aug. 4), and catch a special event on the harness racing calendar when the post position draws for the $1-million Hambletonian and $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks are conducted, and while you are there, enjoy some great food.
The classic trotting events are part of a huge 16-race program at The Meadowlands on Saturday (Aug. 8). The card has a special early post time of noon.
Tuesday’s luncheon begins at 2 p.m., with the draws for the Hambo and Oaks kicking off at 3 p.m.
The Big M’s TV production team will be there, and they will welcome SportsNet New York’s Marc Malusis, known to Big M regulars for his Sundays at the track during football season, to open up the festivities.
There will also be a special appearance by former Big M simulcast show personality – and current FOX Sports harness racing analyst – Jessica Otten serving as host with track announcer Ken Warkentin providing interviews.
The post draw can be viewed live on The Meadowlands Facebook page as well as The Meadowlands YouTube Channel for those who cannot attend.
The event is open to the public, but please RSVP here.
