Nijinsky will have the opportunity on Saturday to become the 11th horse in history to win both the North America Cup and Meadowlands Pace. His stablemate, Legendary Hanover, will be among the horses with the opportunity to stop him.
Undefeated in six races this year, Nijinsky will head to the $650,000 Meadowlands Pace for 3-year-olds at The Meadowlands as the 2-1 morning-line favorite. Nijinsky won his Pace elimination this past Saturday by three-quarters of a length over Funtime Bayama in 1:47.3, equaling the fastest time for an elim in Pace history.
