East Rutherford, NJ – In an effort in keeping the horse population for the entry box at a level necessary to produce 13 races nightly and full fields multiple short series will be written throughout for the forseeable future.

The first set of series will focus on TrackMaster Ratings. TrackMaster uses an algorithm to come up with the number that you see in the program. “It allows horsemen to find spots for their horses with money on their card and not be stuck up in class for a month if they had previously been successful,” said Racing Secretary Scott Warren.

*Horses that race in Leg 1 are eligible to Leg 2
*New horses may be entered in Leg 2
*If the conditions are adjusted in Leg 1, they will be the conditions automatically for Leg 2
*Meadowlands reserves the right to race a division on another day if needed
*If a series doesn’t have enough entries to split it will revert to an overnight but go for 20 percent more than the regular overnight purse thus the reason for the two purses on the legs.
