EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- April 8, 2025 -- Starting this Friday, April 11th, the Meadowlands Racetrack will begin reducing the drag by one minute each live race night.

The drag will be eliminated on Friday, May 2, which is the opening night of the 2025 Championship Meet. The horses will be at the gate when the countdown clock hits zero.
“Jeff Gural and I agree that the drag is terrible,” said Jason Settlemoir, the track’s COO & GM. “We are giving bettors what they asked for during our Championship Meet, no drag and the best drivers and horses in our sport. We hope our customers will continue to support us strongly at the windows.”
When live racing resumes this Friday, there will be a $5,007 Pick 6 (Races 8-13) carryover. PPs can be found at Playmeadowlands.com.
