The start of Sunday racing and the first of 11 editions of the 2026 Meadowlands Monthly Handicapping Contest are the highlight happenings at The Big M this weekend.
The first of four consecutive three-program race weeks kicks off Friday (Jan. 9) night. Racing will then take place on the usual Saturday (Jan. 10) evening before the initial Sunday (Jan. 11) card is held.
Post time on Friday and Saturday is 6:20 p.m., while Sunday’s program gets underway at 12:30 p.m.
After Friday’s opportunity-to-make-a-score-filled 14-race program, Saturday’s card will offer more of the same. In addition, Saturday will mark the first edition of the Meadowlands Monthly Handicapping Contest.
Sunday will offer a 14-race matinee card that is sure to be a hit with harness racing bettors.
