The Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey (SBOANJ) and The Meadowlands announced new three-year-old races for trotters sponsored by the SBOANJ that will serve as a lead in to the 2022 New Jersey Sires Stakes (NJSS).
The New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) annual year-end championships will not require lights this season, as Tioga Downs will host the event with a special 1:00 p.m. post time (pending regulatory approval) on September 10, turning the “Night of Champions” into the “Day of Champions!”
While the worldwide pandemic continued its grip on society over the last 12 months, The Meadowlands managed to make the best of 2021 and will conclude the year Friday (Dec. 31) night with a 14-race program that features not one, but two carryovers sure to entice The Big M faithful, who will have gone 12 days without action at the mile oval when the first race gets underway at 6:20 p.m.
Due to rising COVID-19 cases, the Meadowlands Racetrack and FanDuel Sportsbook will require all staff and guests, regardless of vaccination status, to wear masks while inside the grandstand beginning Tuesday, Dec. 28.
It was June of last year when The Meadowlands reopened after a three-month shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
