Three-year-old My Girl EJ, purchased for $758,000 earlier this month, will make her first start for her new connections Saturday when she faces harness racing’s No. 1-ranked horse, Twin B Joe Fresh, and five other rivals in the $150,000 FanDuel Championship for female pacers at The Meadowlands.
My Girl EJ, who a month ago won the Breeders Crown for sophomore filly pacers at The Big M, will start the FanDuel from post two with Todd McCarthy driving for trainer Andrew Harris. The filly, previously trained by Ron Burke, is owned by Bill Pollock, Bruce Areman, and Harris. She was purchased Nov. 18 through Preferred Equine Online.
