Here is this week’s draw schedule at MGM Northfield Park.
‘Tiger’ Roars in Big M feature
To say Pinny Tiger A’s 2025 started ordinarily is to give him the benefit of the doubt, as the Per Engblom trainee began the season with zero wins in six starts.

‘Fire’ smokes field in Big M feature
Outside The Fire was kept off the early action, which was plentiful in the Friday night (Dec. 19) feature at the Meadowlands, and had more than enough in the latter stages to record a half-length victory in the $17,500 high-end conditioned trot.
Cumberland Saturday card post time now 12:15 p.m.

Trump The Warrior faster Philly feature winner
The Swan For All 3-year-old gelding Trump The Warrior gained steadily the last three-eighths of a mile to overhaul pacesetter RJ Don’t Peachim and win the quicker of two $12,000 featured trots for developing horses in 1:59 Friday (Dec. 19) at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
