EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- January 29, 2026 -- Due to extremely low and potentially hazardous cold temperatures forecast for the Garden State this weekend, the Meadowlands Racetrack is cancelling live racing for Friday, January 30; Saturday, January 31; and Sunday, February 1.


Qualifiers, scheduled for Saturday at 4 pm, are also cancelled.


“I spoke with Mark Ford, President of the SBOANJ, at length today regarding the weather,” said Big M Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir. “Many of the horsemen expressed to Ford their concern with the negative temperatures our area would be feeling. Both the track and the SBOANJ want to ensure the health and wellness of our horsemen, women, and equine athletes. Based upon the feedback we were receiving, the decision was made to cancel live racing.”


The Meadowlands Racetrack, the FanDuel Sportsbook, and Winners Bayonne will remain open for simulcasting and sports wagering. 


When racing resumes next Friday, February 6, there will be a $7,802 Pick 6 carryover. As always, check The Meadowlands’ website, playmeadowlands.com, for all racing, dining, event, and wagering information.
