I may well be wrong about this, but I assume they are saying these Meadowlands cards will be all turf races is because they will not dig up the stone dust harness surface for a smattering of thoroughbred cards. That makes sense.

What happens when it rains?

Are they still not running any stakes races besides the Haskell?

Tough to imagine this is going to be a good year for NJ racing.

Maybe we should include that in our prayers as well.

Apparently they have set dates. This was posted on their site last week. Notably absent is any mention of the Haskell.
