Opulent Yankee triumphs in Big M Open Trot
by James Witherite, Meadowlands Media Relations
East Rutherford, N.J. — Just as an impending snowstorm closing in on the New York City metropolitan area did not interrupt Friday (January 22) evening’s 14-race program at The Meadowlands, eight rivals closed in–but failed to engulf–Opulent Yankee ($4.60, part of entry) in the featured $25,000 Open Handicap Trot, carded as race two.
Andy Miller floated forward with the 5-year-old Muscles Yankee gelding at race’s outset, working clear of Massacaia (Brett Miller) well after a :27 initial quarter mile.  Once assuming command, Opulent Yankee kept at a sprightly tempo, reeling off intermediate splits of :55 and 1:23.3 while his stablemate Allerage Star (Scott Zeron) gradually gained into a joint second with a boxed Massacaia.  Off the far turn, Opulent Yankee kicked clear at will, extending his lead to three lengths in mid-stretch before taken in hand late for a 1:52.1 win, his first of 2016 and his ninth career triumph.  Detroit Rapper (Jim Marohn, Jr.) negotiated heavy traffic through the stretch, splitting foes in the final sixteenth to just take second,...

Racing Suspended for 14 days at Sunland Park, January 22, 2016

We want our IdaBet players to know that Sunland Park’s racing has been suspended for 14 days by racetrack officials, the New Mexico Racing Commission, and the New Mexico Livestock Board after they learned a fifth horse tested positive for the neurologic strain of the equine herpesvirus (EHV-1).

Rick Baugh, General Manager of Sunland, said in a release issued late Friday,“In the interest of equine safety, Sunland Park Racetrack is postponing racing for an initial period of 14 days.”  “I’d like to thank all the agencies involved, as well as our horsemen, for their cooperation and support as we take a proactive approach to protect our horses and make a quick return to live racing.”

The 14 day suspension is subject to reset every time a positive case is confirmed.

Everyone here at IdaBet.com sends well wishes to all the connections at Sunland Park, the owners & trainers, and those equine athletes affected in this outbreak.
