Nothing wrong with $65,000. Meadowlands is supposed to be the mecca that's why they criticize all their trackmaster races, their version of Freehold North.

From what Jay Cross the announcer said there is a lower class here--trackmaster Rating of 66 or less purse $5,000

I thought Jay Cross was a trainer, because their announcer is Michael Chamberlain.

You're correct!

For some reason I heard Jay Cross's name mentioned previously when I watched the racing there.

sorry if i'm wrong.

No need to check, Chamberlain has been the announcer since 2021, not much of a harness announcer, much better when he announced T-Breds.

He used to back up Roger at the LBJ after Sam McKee passed away
Then Settlemoir weaseled his way in and poof Steve was gone.
