Kindergarten kickoff opening weekend at Big M

At 0h04, on November 4, 2022 By MEADOWLANDS

Live harness racing returns to The Meadowlands Friday (Nov. 4) after a six-week hiatus, and for Big M fans craving action, things will go full-bore from the start of the “Fall Championship Meet” both on the track and in the best simulcast venue anywhere.

Post time for the first race this Friday and Saturday (Nov. 5) is 6:20 p.m.

During the weekend, the fourth and final leg of the Kindergarten Series for 2-year-olds of each sex and gait will take place over the mile oval, while in Kentucky, the best thoroughbreds in training will go at it in the Breeders’ Cup, with the action available for Meadowlands’ patrons in the track’s expansive simulcast area.

On Opening Night Friday, the GSY (Gural Settlemoir Yarock) Racing Club will pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was a great lover of horses.

There will be a video tribute to The Queen shown during the night, and then later in the evening on the track, the GSY drivers that Big M fans are familiar with will take on five pilots from Britain in what promise to be races with full fields, big wagering pools and unpredictable outcomes. A bagpiper will be on hand to add to the festivities.
