East Rutherford, NJ — The Meadowlands’ upcoming SRF races for 3-year-olds will get underway on Friday (March 31) with trotting and pacing fillies set to race in the $20,000 first of three preliminary legs with the pacing and trotting colts scheduled for Saturday (April 1).

The series will go forward on the Friday/Saturday schedule through the course of the legs and the finals (and consolations) will be held on the weekend of April 21 and 22.

The conditions and lists of nominees are now posted on the track website.

The amount donated to the Standardbred Retirement Fund (SRF) by competing interests in the series totaled more than $35,000 which was matched by The Meadowlands for a total donation of over $70,000.

On a happy note, the timing could not have been better so far as the need for the funds to arrive just when there were 43 horses to be rescued and funds desperately needed to provide for their care.
