Meadowlands: Kindergarten, Highalator top weekend action

The Kindergarten Classic for 2-year-olds and a veteran standout looking to get back on track are the top storylines this weekend at The Meadowlands.

On Friday (Oct. 23), eight divisions of the Kindergarten's third leg for 2-year-olds will hit the track. There will be two divisions each for horses of both sexes and gaits.

Next week, the Kindergarten will have its fourth and final leg (Oct. 30) before the series concludes on Nov. 7 with four finals that have purses totaling $800,000.

After a rare poor performance last week, Highalator, who saw his three-race Big M win streak come to an end at the hands of Harambe Deo, seeks to find his way back to the winner’s circle in the Saturday (Oct. 24) night feature, a high-end conditioned pace.

Post time both nights is 7:15 PM.
