This Friday and Saturday (Feb. 6 and Feb. 7), the Meadowlands Racetrack will kick off live racing with an early 6 p.m. post time.

This Friday also kicks off the PK 8, spanning Races 3-10 with $50,000 seeded into the pool. This new wager has a $1 minimum bet, with 75% of the pool carried over each night if there are no 8 out of 8 tickets.

“With 15 races each night, this was an easy call,” stated the track’s COO/GM, Jason Settlemoir. “This early post time will help alleviate time constraints and allow more horses to get raced. We are also excited to debut this new wager. We want to thank Peter Kleinhans for initiating this venture, and we hope our horseplayers will embrace the PK 8.”
