East Rutherford, NJ — The Meadowlands will host live racing over the weekends of Sept. 9-10 and 16-17. Horsemen are advised that double-draws will be held each of the next two Tuesdays for those race cards.

The Kindergarten Series will provide an opportunity for trainers to glean some racing lessons for their late-bloomers in preparation for the ample stakes remaining on the 2016 schedule as well as offering a certain opportunity to race against 2-year-olds as Sires Stakes come to a close in New York and Pennsylvania. Also, valuable points toward the $150,000 Nov. 5 finals are at stake in these legs.

So far as the overnighters, Race Secretary Pete Koch has composed a condition sheet with something for everybody. The popular G-Note short series races will be offered for pacing mares and horses in the non-winners of $3,500 last five class and claimers that have raced for a price of $10,000 or less since July 1. All of them offer a chance to return the second week for a purse of $17,500.

The fifth and last leg of the Miss Versatility series for trotting mares is set to go on Friday (Sept. 9) with the $120,000 (est.) final raced in Delaware, Ohio, on Little Brown Jug Day (Sept. 22).

The box for Sept. 9 and 10 closes at 9 a.m. on Tuesday (Sept. 6). Enter online or by phone at 201.842.5130.
