Meadowlands Will Close To Fans After COVID-19 Positives, Reopen Saturday

The Meadowlands Racetrack will close at 6 pm today, Tuesday, Sept. 29. The racetrack continues to take an aggressive stance against the spread of COVID-19.

The plan is to re-open to fans at 10 am on Saturday, Oct. 3.

Live harness racing will take place as scheduled on Friday, Oct. 2 without spectators. Horsemen are reminded to have the COVID questionnaire completed when arriving at the stable gate for their temperature check. Face coverings are required at all times while in the paddock.

Fans are encouraged to wager online by visiting their favorite online OTW. Must be 18+ to wager.
