East Rutherford, NJ — Post time for The Meadowlands will be moved to 6:35 p.m. for the eight weeks encompassing the entire months of January and February. This move comes on the heels of consecutive Saturday nights that produced nearly $7.4 million in combined handle.

“It is impossible to ignore the success we have had the past two Saturday nights of racing,” said General Manager Jason Settlemoir. “Granted, we had two additional races each night, but the average per-race handle has shown significant gains as well. Moving post time up will enable us to card 14-race programs while our horse population supports it. This gives our horsemen additional opportunities to race as well.”

It is anticipated The Meadowlands will be able to card 14 races each night for the next two months. The wagering format will remain the same as the past two weekends, with the Pick-5 beginning in race three, Early Pick-4 in race five and Late Pick-4 in race nine. The Jackpot Super Hi-5 wagers will be offered in races seven and 14.
