The Meadowlands is announcing that a previously unscheduled leg will be added to the Graduate Series for pacers to be raced on Saturday (May 15) in response to the cancellation of the Confederation Cup for 2021.
This added leg will make a total of four $75,000 ($50,000 div.) preliminary legs for the pacers and three for the trotters heading into the $250,000 (est.) finals.
There will not be a leg added for the trotters as it would conflict with existing stakes.
“We scheduled the Graduate around the Confederation Cup to provide the 4-year-olds the best chance to race in stakes against their own age before moving into the open stakes,” said Meadowlands Chairman Jeff Gural.
