Bet on Meadowlands Racetrack Odds

Meadowlands Racetrack, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is one of the premier harness racing venues in the United States. Opened in 1976, the “Big M” is synonymous with Standardbred racing and has also hosted Thoroughbred meets. Known for its speed-favoring one-mile oval and close proximity to New York City, Meadowlands has become a hub for championship-level harness racing, simulcasting, and entertainment. Meadowlands racing odds are posted for every card of a season that runs from late April through November.

Meadowlands Racetrack Entries, Results & Picks

Meadowlands racing runs from late April through November, with most marquee cards under lights on Friday and Saturday nights and post times ranging from noon to 7 p.m. depending on the day. Meadowlands entries are drawn and published in the days before each card, and because so much of the schedule runs at night, entries and picks for a given evening are usually out well before first post. Morning line odds appear once the fields are set, and prices keep moving through to post time.

Meadowlands results are posted after each race, so racetrack results for a night card build through the evening rather than arriving at once. Meadowlands picks and race picks are widely published ahead of each program, covering both the harness season and the seasonal Thoroughbred meets. Because entries, prices and post times all change through the season, reading entries and results off the live card in the BetUS Racebook is always more current than any fixed list.
