Published: April 16, 2013 11:32 am EDT

The Meadowlands will take a scheduled break from live racing next weekend, April 26 and 27. There will be no qualifying races races next Saturday, April 27.

As we transition into the Championship Meet, the main track will be available for training from 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. on each of the five Fridays in May. Horsemen must contact the racing office by noon each Tuesday to list the horses that will be training on Friday. The fee is $50 per horse or $1,000 per trainer for unlimited use.

Baby races for the two-year-olds will be raced along with qualifiers beginning on Saturday, June 1. The box for the babies and qualifiers will close at 4:00 p.m. on Friday each week. The fee for the baby races is $100 per entry, but there is no fee if the horse is New Jersey-bred or paid into any Meadowlands stakes event. There will be no training permitted on qualifying/baby-race days.

Payment may be made upon arrival at the stable gate for both days. Any funds remaining after the associated costs have been paid will go toward the purse account. Call the racing office at 877-782-2537 with questions.
