Art History favorite in Meadowlands feature pace

East Rutherford, NJ – Saturday's twelve race card at The Meadowlands features a solid group of eight older pacers in the seventh race for a purse of $17,500.

 

Art History has captured the fancy of the odds-maker at 2-1 from the outside. A winner three times in ten starts this season, Art History seems to do his best racing over the mile oval. Jimmy Marohn, Jr has the driving assignment for trainer Steve Elliott and owners Ken Klein and Old Block Stables.

 

Mel Mara races for new connections on Saturday after private purchase by Robert Cooper and J&T Silva following a couple of impressive starts this season. Dylan Davis is the new trainer and Corey Callahan keeps the drive on the talented but delicate seven-year-old son of Lis Mara.

 

The Meadowlands hosts the final of the World Harness Handicapping Challenge on Saturday night. It is the largest of the harness contests and a few openings remain if you feel like taking a shot.

 

The Kentucky Derby is but a week away and if you'd care to watch it at the track The Meadowlands offers a number of comfortable options.
