Meadowlands bettors to get more handicapping info

Starting Wednesday, Feb. 24, Meadowlands bettors will be given additional handicapping information for each race. In most races, there are several drivers who are named to drive more than one horse when entries are made. Drivers have to decide which horse they will drive a few days prior to the printing of the racing program. A new television graphic will now show these choices.

 

If a driver was listed on multiple horses in a race, the graphic will list those horses and indicate the drivers choice.

 

"Many bettors feel driver choices are one of the most important handicapping angles at the track and several of our fans have requested a way to obtain that information," said director of simulcasting and track announcer Sam McKee. By adding these new graphics pages on our television signal, both on-track and simulcast patrons will have access to what is considered a very useful handicapping tool."
