OCEANPORT, N.J.— A pair of stakes sprints for New Jersey-breds will serve as the highlights for the 10-day all-turf Monmouth-at-Meadowlands meet that gets underway Friday, Sept. 15, as Thoroughbred racing in the state moves North following the end of the Monmouth Park meet.
The Monmouth-at-Meadowlands meet will run for five consecutive Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 14.
First-race post time for the six-race cards will be 7 p.m.
The $65,000 Pinot Grigio Handicap for fillies and mares, 3 and up, is scheduled for five furlongs on Friday, Oct. 6.
The next day, the $65,000 Joey P. Handicap for 3-year-olds and up, also at five furlongs, will headline the card on Saturday, Oct. 7.
Both races are restricted to state-breds.
The draw for the opening day card on Friday will take place on Tuesday.
Hector Diaz, Jr. was the leading rider at last year’s Monmouth-at-Meadowlands meet with eight wins. There was an eight-way tie for leading trainer (at two wins).
