The 2-year-old stakes season at the Meadowlands is just 10 days away. The Simpson series for trotters kicks off on Thursday, June 28 and the pacers hit the track that Friday. The following week the Meadowlands will host the Reynolds series for freshman of both gaits and sexes. With the impending arrival of the rookies competing in pari-mutuel action, it is of paramount importance to keep up to date on which horses looked good (and which didn’t) in the baby race action that took place this past Saturday (June 16).

North America Cup night (June 16) is one of the biggest events in all of harness racing. Four rich stakes finals for 3-year-olds and a couple of other stakes will highlight a stellar card at Mohawk Racetrack. For the next four days, I will review the elimination efforts of all the 3yo finals and chime in with my thoughts on each horse’s chance on Saturday.
