When racing returns to The Meadowlands Friday (Feb. 6) night, there will be a new bet on the menu which could create the type of excitement not seen at the mile oval in a long time.

Kevin Plowcha's analysis of the Saturday 2/7 card at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
Fdd Dreams clinched the title of 2025 World Champion with a nose win in the $700,000 Champion of Champions at Los Alamitos in December. To start his 2026 season, the now 4-year-old Fdd Dreams will be favored in a 440-yard race worth half as much, Saturday’s $350,000 Championship at Sunland Park.

With champion Ted Noffey sidelined through the spring and with all due respect to Nearly, a dominant winner of last weekend's Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes, the best 3-year-old in trainer Todd Pletcher's barn may be a filly. Zany, a daughter of 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, has been crazy good winning her first two starts by a combined 15 lengths. Anything short of a victory in Saturday's $125,000 Suncoast Stakes Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs would be a surprise.

His maiden status notwithstanding, Renegade is very much the horse to beat in Saturday's Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs. Renegade is one of three maidens in the nine-horse Sam Davis, a race advertised as having a $250,000 purse, though $50,000 of that is reserved only for Florida-breds. Of more importance, perhaps, is the 42 qualifying points the Sam Davis offers its top five finishers (20-10-6-4-2) toward the May 2 Kentucky Derby.

The field for the $125,000 Valdale Stakes is short, with just six 3-year-old fillies entered for the sprint. It could be spicy, with a couple of candidates to hook up on the lead. All but two of the entrants, Believe in Magic and Coco Connect, will be making their stakes debut, but shipper The Town Tempter has already shown the credentials to challenge.
