RESCHEDULED TURF HARNESS RACE IS FRIDAY NIGHT

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- June 24, 2009 - Harness racing returns to the Meadowlands turf course for the first time in more than 30 years on Friday, June 26, 2009.

A field of eight pacers will take to the grass in the $15,000 third race. They will line up behind the mobile starting gate at 7:45 p.m. (est.) for the one-mile event, which was postponed from June 19 due to inclement weather.

The last time the Meadowlands held a turf race for standardbred racehorses was the Coliseum Cup on June 21, 1978. It was a competition amongst racing's Manzi family -patriarchs John Sr., Al and Richard, as well as cousins Steve, Richard Jr., Gary, John and Cat. Richard Manzi Jr. won the race with a pacer named El Nob in a time of 2:09.3.
