He passionately lobbied the US Trotting Association to approve the registration of horses conceived by the interstate transportation of semen, testifying that he worried eve... more...

On Monday (Jan. 18), Luther bought the top-selling horses at the Tattersalls Winter Mixed Sale at The Meadowlands — Chief Mate for $220,000 and Captain Kirk for $215,000. Both are 4-year-old male pacers trained formerly by Tony Alagna.

Fred Zanolli, spent years at Meadowlands Farm, dies
Fred Zanolli, a longtime employee of Delvin Miller’s Meadowlands Farm in Meadow Lands, Pa., has died. Mr. Zanolli had continued to live on the grounds of the farm long after Miller sold it.
In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette years ago, Mr. Zanolli said he was at Meadowlands Farm in 1948 when they unloaded Adios from a truck, and he was there in 1965 when the great stallion died and they put him in a steel casket and buried him on the farm. He continued to maintain Adios’ gravesite, and those of other horses buried on the farm, by planting flowers around the headstones.

Here Comes Mooney, Another Breath win series legs

Super Hi--5 mandatory payout Tuesday at Pompano
With the Super Hi-5 Jackpot approaching $115,000 at Pompano Park, director of racing Gabe Prewitt has announced a mandatory payout for Tuesday, Jan. 19.
"We have had several inquiries as to when the jackpot would grow to a point where we would consider a mandatory payout and that time has come," said Prewitt.
Normally, the jackpot is paid when there is one lone winning ticket with the first five finishers in order, however, with the Super Hi-5 Jackpot pool expected to be several hundred thousand dollars, the mandatory payout lifts that restriction and there is no limit to the number of winn... more...
