Meadowlands: Melander looking to cap off big season with Grade 1 wins
It has been an outstanding year for trainer Marcus Melander. Heading into Saturday's (November 14) final two major juvenile trotting events, the Hambletonian-winning conditioner looks to add to a record earnings total with five 2-year-olds in the $383,830 Valley Victory and $386,830 Goldsmith Maid, half of the Final Four for freshmen at the Meadowlands. Melander, who sent out Apex to capture his first Hambletonian in August, looks to close out the campaign with Command Center, the Gimpanzee-sired half-brother to Apex, in the Valley Victory and Birr Castle, the Breeders Crown champion, among three in the Goldsmith Maid.
