NJ Gov signs order

Racing resumes at both the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park today. With the passage of a 2007 fiscal year budget, New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine signed Executive Order 19 at approximately 6 a.m., ending the shutdown of state government that resulted in the furloughing of thousands of state employees, including those essential for the operation of horse racing.

With the resumption of live and simulcast racing, the following activities will take place at the Meadowlands today:

--Baby races will take place at 10:30 a.m.

--Three elimination races for the $375,000 Stanley Dancer Memorial for 3-year-old trotting colts and two elimination races for the $375,000 Delvin Miller Memorial for 3-year-old trotting fillies will take place as non-betting events at 5 p.m.

--First race post time for tonight night will be delayed until 7:45 p.m.

--All horses required to be in the Detention Barn for the $200,000 Titan Cup, William R. Haughton elims and Meadowlands Pace elims had to report Friday night.
