Meadowlands Opening Nite Selections

A new season, new hopes.  The Meadowlands opens up Friday evening using the classified system with conditioned races for NW3 and lower as well as claiming races.  One thing to be aware of is each evening, one race will consist of a twelve horse field.

This year opening night will be tougher with use of a 45 day entry box so you have plenty of horses who haven't raced in a whle skipping qualifiers.  Watching the board may be your best guide as to if these horses are worth your support.

Here are my top four horses in each race.  The type of exotic wagers offered each race is indicated.  As always, these are my early selections.  Depending on odds, some of my selections may move higher up in my ratings.
