East Rutherford, NJ — The special Mother’s Day program at the Meadowlands featuring the inaugural edition of the $150,000 Elitlopp Playoff Trot, will be featured in Sweden’s V64, a Pick-6 style wager that routinely handles more than $1 million and guarantees SEK10 million (Swedish Krona currency) if there is a single winner.

The V64 will be comprised of six trotting races on the Meadowlands program and will be the main wager that evening on Sweden’s national tote and advanced deposit wagering platform, ATG. A total of seven Meadowlands races will be offered for separate pool wagering in Sweden and Finland.

In addition, the Elitlopp Playoff, which awards the winner an automatic invitation to the prestigious Elitlopp in Sweden, will be broadcast live on national television on Sweden’s TV4 network. All other Meadowlands races that day (night in Sweden) will be broadcast live on ATG’s television channel and shown at all online and brick and mortar wagering outlets throughout Sweden. This will be the first time the ATG has broadcast a V64 race card on its television network from outside Scandinavia.

“We continue to be extremely excited for what is shaping up to be a must-see event,” said Meadowlands GM/COO Jason M. Settlemoir. “This has been a wonderful show of cooperation with our Swedish counterparts. Jeff Gural and I would like to extend a huge thank you to Sam McKee who has worked tirelessly to help put this event together with officials from Solvalla Racecourse and the ATG.”

Fifteen of the premier trotters in North America have been nominated to the Elitlopp Playoff including defending Older Horse Trotter of the Year JL Cruze, Older Mare Trotter of the Year and former Horse of the Year Bee A Magician, plus Breeders Crown winner Creatine and TVG Series champions Resolve and Shake It Cerry.
