East Rutherford, NJ — On Saturday (July 2) live harness racing will commence with a special 6:30 p.m. post time. Fans can test their luck in the cash cube. During the races, guests can enter the Money Machine Fever contest prior to Race 5. Six lucky contestants will have 30 seconds to catch as much cash as they can and place it into a Hambletonian bag without bending down or turning around in the cash cube. Cash denominations will include $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $100 and $500. Participants will catch Money Machine Fever after Race 2, 4 and 8. Each contestant that participates will walk away with all the cash they have caught in their bag.

Following live harness racing, an enthralling fireworks display will take place to honor Independence Day. The best place to be will be atop Victory Terrace Rooftop Bar. With great views of the racing action, city skyline and fireworks, guests are in for an amazing show that will begin 15 minutes after the last race. Victory Terrace has a full service bar and a rooftop grill serving hotdogs and hamburgers.

On Friday (July 1), guests will head to Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment for action-packed live harness racing beginning at 7:15 p.m. featuring the New Jersey Sire Stakes for 2-year-olds and a chance to participate in Money Machine Fever.

Horseplay will begin at 6:00 p.m. both nights. Buy a horse for $1 and throw the horse into the car for a chance to win $100 and entry into the August 8 car drawing for a 2016 Scion FRS. All proceeds in the month of July will be donated to the Team Racing for Recovery.
