East Rutherford, NJ – The rumors of harness racing’s demise at The Meadowlands are, apparently, sorely mistaken.
The New Meadowlands Racetrack, in conjunction with the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey (SBOANJ), is pleased to announce a couple of new stakes races to its 2027 schedule to go along with purse increases to some of the other top events in the sport.
The biggest waves in the stakes waters are the ones that will be stirred up by the brand-new $1-million Meadowlands Trot, a 3-year-old open, and $500,000 Meadowlands Oaks Trot, for 3-year-old fillies.
The updated stakes program should ease any doubts that breeders or owners might have had about the future of the harness game in the State of New Jersey.
