Beginning with the condition sheet for the week of Thursday February 5th, The Meadowlands will return to condition racing. After meeting with many horsemen and representation of the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey, The Meadowlands race office will respond to the request of the majority of horsemen to return to condition racing.
Additionally, The Meadowlands will be suspending it's loyalty rewards program. With the exception of New Jersey Owned and Sired horses, the only factor used to determine preference will be the date of a horse's most recent start.
The Meadowlands will also card overnight races only at the distance of one mile and only with 10 horses on the gate. However, in the event that a stakes race, early closer or late closer consists of a field of more than 10 horses, that race will be contested with horses starting in the second-tier and will be raced at the 1 1/8th miles distance.
Again, these changes are being made at the urging of New Jersey horsemen and the SBOANJ. The Meadowlands is pleased to work together with it's horsemen to ensure the best racing and give the horsemen the best opportunity to race. For those with questions regarding these changes, please contact The Meadowlands race office.

I guess my hopes for a harness steeplechase have gone down the drain.
