Big M to race Saturday only this week

At 0h02, on August 22, 2025 By Meadowlands Media Relations

For a second straight week, the usual two-day-a-week racing schedule at the Meadowlands will be cut in half due to preseason football at MetLife Stadium, as there will be no live action this Friday (Aug. 22) before a 15-race program takes place on Saturday (Aug. 23).

Post time is 6:20 p.m.

Thereafter, there will be three more weeks of live action on a Friday-Saturday basis, with harness racing concluding on Saturday, Sept. 13, before the trotters and pacers take a four-week break while Thoroughbred turf racing is conducted at the Big M.

Saturday’s card is rock solid, with four $25,000 leg three divisions of the Kindergarten Series for 2-year-olds, the $45,000 Renaissance final for 2-year-old filly pacers, and a pair of $60,000 New Jersey Standardbred Development Fund finals – one for 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters and another for 3-year-old filly trotters.
