Tony Alagna will send two horses to Saturday’s $668,000 Meadowlands Pace, and although neither of his 3-year-old colts has posted a win this season, the trainer is happy with the way El Rey and Hungry Angel Boy have raced heading into the weekend.
El Rey was second in last week’s second of two Meadowlands Pace eliminations at The Meadowlands, finishing a half-length behind Confederate in 1:47.3. El Rey, who capped his 2-year-old campaign with a victory in the Governor’s Cup at the Big M, will start Saturday from post seven with Scott Zeron in the sulky. He is the 9-2 third choice on the morning line, behind 6-5 favorite Confederate and 7-2 Voukefalas.
