Meadows Monday Memo

UPCOMING SCHEDULE CHANGES

Hollywood Casino at The Meadows announces several upcoming schedule changes.  We previously announced a post time change for Wednesday, April 28 to 5:10pm and a Derby Day post time of 10:30am.  Wednesday, May 6 has now been added to the schedule with a 12:45pm post, and will replace a planned card on Saturday, May 9.  Also please note changes on Preakness and Belmont days (May 16 and June 6) as we will go with our standard 12:45pm start time, rather than earlier posts.

EIGHT PREP RACES SET FOR TUESDAY

A total of 8 qualifying races will be held Tuesday morning (April 21) at The Meadows.  The action will be shown live at 11am on the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association’s Facebook page.  A pair of local colt trotters will be qualifying, getting ready for next month’s Sire Stake action.  R Tommy Collins, out of the Tom Svrcek Stable, will compete in race #1, while Mr Big Spender, trained by Norm Parker, will race in the third qualifier. Top Open pacer Birthday, trained by Ron Burke, will make his return to action in the 8^th qualifier.

TOP TROTTERS FEATURED ON WEDNESDAY

Wednesday afternoon’s feature race will be the $18,000 Open Handicap Trot, carded at Race #8 out of 13 on the day.  Good Feel’n To Know trained by Rick Hercules and driven by Dave Palone, has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite, and will leave from post 1.  The race also features newcomer LT Loverboy, trained by Daren Harvey.  The now 4YO gelding by Long Tom, has banked over $619,000 in just 21 lifetime starts.  Chris Lems will drive on Wednesday.
