They raced Sundays at the Meadows years ago, sucked, handles were shit, just like the Big M's Sundays. Campbell got hurt on a Sunday, think it was a 15 claimer or N/2 bottom level back then.

The Meadowlands should have raced on Thursday. If they put on a real card, with drivers, & full fields the handle is 2.5 million. The crap they have carded on Thursday is on them & deserves a poor handle.

New for 2023 is Sunday matinee racing on Jan. 22 and 29 with a 12:30 p.m. post time.  When asked about Thursday night racing, Meadowlands CEO Jeff Gural had this response, "We lost money every time we ran on Thursdays last year. I am still owed $13 million from when I took over the Meadowlands and do not expect to see that money any time soon. If the horsemen think I am going to continue to take losses on racing they are sadly mistaken."

“The reason I wanted to try a couple of Sundays is I’ve had a lot of customers say things to me about Sunday afternoons where I’ve never really had anyone say anything about Thursday evenings,” said Meadowlands’ chief operating officer/general manager Jason Settlemoir.“ Jeff finally relented and said ‘Okay, try Sunday afternoons,’” said Settlemoir. “Quite honestly, I’ve always wanted to try Sunday afternoons. I've always wanted to see how well we would do against Aqueduct, Gulfstream and Oaklawn.  I think they’ll be better than Thursday evenings."
