On Saturday night the Meadowlands will host the final Grand Circuit races of their 2018 season. The finals for both the TVG Championship and Freshman Fall Final Four will be raced on a card that will boast nearly $3 million in purses.

Followers of Standardbred racing in the MidAtlantic region have come to know Sofia Zingale as an upcoming star in RUS as a trainer and rider.

Ashley Tetrick has issued the following release regarding the Standardbred Transition Alliance and funds coming from the U.S. Trotting Association:
