2024 STATS: 32 - 140 / $206.80 (-$73.20) BEST BETS: 5 - 10 / $19.60 (-$0.40) SPOT PLAYS: 1 - 10 / $5.00 (-$15.00) BEST BET - CENTURY INVADER (3rd) SPOT PLAY - LADYZAR (2nd) Race 1 - MADC Trot ***Pick 5*** (7) KOBE B raced well last time out at Harrah's Philadelphia, finishing second despite getting hung on the outside throughout. He also shows a win in an amateur test at Pocono back on 10-19. (1) DONATELLO HANOVER exits what looks like some tougher spots over at Pocono and starts from the pole. (2) SIR JESSE comes south off a victory at Vernon Downs and moves inside on the gate after he had post six in that triumph. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68.5 or Less as of 12-2-24 Pace (2) LADYZAR had the bad post blues down at Freehold in her last couple but shows some good efforts against tougher TrackMaster foes back in late October and early November and drew well tonight. (6) THANEEYA should have picked up some confidence with a romping win in the corresponding class to this one at Freehold on 11-29, and she was facing tougher TrackMaster 71.5 or less foes at the Meadowlands prior to that. (4) MARE OF THE CITY shows a third at the TrackMaster 74 or less level on November 1 and has won over the oval this year. Race 3 - NW2000L4/TrackMaster Rating 74.5 or Less as of 12-2-24 Trot ***Pick 4*** (6) CENTURY INVADER held well to get fourth against NW3000L4 company on November 22 despite a terrible trip from post ten. He gets to drop and drew better tonight. (5) MUSKINGUM returns to the Meadowlands off a third in the Open Two at Monticello last time out, and this stable often sends out live horses when they come here. (8) DOWNHOME PUNCH was third when he slid down to the corresponding class to this one at Pocono most recently and shows several efforts against tougher winners of four but not more than seven rivals. Race 4 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 68.5 or Less as of 12-2-24 Pace (8) HURRIKANEKLEEPATRA double-drops from the TrackMaster 74.5 or Less class and beat TrackMaster 71.5 or Less foes on 11-22, charging from last to first. (6) ROLL ON MYWAY hit the board in her last two efforts against NW2500L5 company over at Harrah's Philadelphia and took her lifetime mark on the seven-eighths-mile oval at Harrah's Hoosier Park. (4) SANDY COURT was third to my top pick in that common event on November 22. She moves inside on the gate in this tilt, sliding in from the eight-hole to post four. Race 5 - TrackMaster Rating 68.5 or Less as of 12-2-24 Pace ***Pick 6*** (4) SKYWAY BILLY overcame post eight and rallied to finish second in the corresponding class to this one at Freehold on 11-29. He drew better tonight and has had success at the Meadowlands before. (1) FLYING TIGER comes in off a lame scratch but won a MADC 1 tilt by open lengths on 11-8 and then was fourth as the favorite in a TrackMaster 71.5 or Less event after that. (2) AYR PIONEER GB hit the board three straight times at The Meadows in October and November and debuts for the always-dangerous Besim Odza stable here. Race 6 - MADC Trot (7) FEERIEDESBROUETSFR put in another good effort on 11-23 by finishing second, but I going to hope he offers a bit better price tonight since he was the favorite in that tilt and didn't find the winner's circle. (6) VEGAS TICKET looks like he comes out of some tougher spots over at Pocono and his trainer sent out a victor in a MADC trot on November 23. (2) ALLINDOTIME shows two triumphs in amateur races, including one at the Meadowlands on 11-9. He closed with trot to get third in the same dash my top pick comes out of on the 23rd of November. Race 7 - F&M TrackMaster Rating 71.5 or Less as of 12-2-24/NW of a Race in 2024 with 30 or more starts Pace ***Pick 4*** (10) PULL ME THROUGH appears to be the only proven commodity in this class, so even though she starts from the far outside, I will swing with her. (8) MCNUGGET invades from Plainridge off back-to-back second-place finishes at their TrackMaster 73 or Less level and catches a group I think she can make an impact against. (3) I AM THE FIRE has been facing what should be tougher NW1 and NW2 rivals at Harrah's Philadelphia and hit the board against NW2's on 11-15. Race 8 - 15000-20000CLM HCP Trot (5) MILLIONDOLLARDREAM scored over NW3000L4's and was third against NW5000L4's when last seen at the Meadowlands back in November and will hopefully appreciate getting back on the big track here. (2) MONI'S HEAVEN CENT was fifth in a NW3000L4 race at the Meadowlands on November 22 and moves inside on the gate from the nine-hole to post two this time. (7) GRAPPLE HANOVER had some success in the corresponding class to this one over at Pocono before that track ended its meet and looks like he packs quite a bit of gate speed. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 9 - TrackMaster Rating 68.5 or Less as of 12-2-24 Pace (4) BELIEVEINTHESPIRIT is the lone horse in here with a recent win, and it came against TrackMaster 68.5 or Less foes at Freehold. He also has a second in that class, so I'll back him based on those efforts. (5) YAYAS HOT SPOT N can definitely win this race but comes in off an effort where he tired badly in the final quarter. He'll need to get back to something like his performance in that MADC 1 tilt on 11-1. (1) SOMESURFSOMEWHERE starts from the pole after a couple of outside draws at Freehold and was third in a TrackMaster 68.5 or Less contest on the 2nd of November. Race 10 - TrackMaster Rating 74.5 or Less as of 12-2-24 Trot (2) BLUE DEVIL posted a third-place result in the Open at Monticello in his last outing, and given he took his season's mark at Mohawk, I'm going to hope he appreciates getting back on the big track tonight. He also departs from a much better draw than he had in the one Meadowlands appearance on November 2. (8) PETER'S ROYALTY went down the road to win handily at Freehold on 11-22 and hails from a stable that's always capable of sending out a live horse. (4) WHEELZABLAZIN was fourth at this level on the 1st of November and made a big move to take the lead on the last turn most recently before he went on a break.
