Series races continue at The Meadows

The first group of Early Closer Series of the season continue this week at The Meadows. This week’s second leg of the four events for 3- and 4-year-olds will be the final opportunity for horses to earn points toward next week’s finals. Series races take place daily this week.

Middle posts continue to prove to be the best spot at The Meadows. Through the first eight weeks of the season, post position five has produced the most winners, at 17.5 percent. Post position five has been the leading post at the track for most of the last decade and a half. Post three is the second-best place so far in 2023, at 14.9 percent, followed by post four at 14.6 percent. Post position one, sought after at half-mile tracks, is only the fifth-best post to have on The Meadows’ five-eighths-mile oval this year.
