The following is the Wednesday, 1/6/10 recap of the Meadowlands races. Included in the trip comments are several horses that made my "To Watch" list and which you might want to add to yours. They are so designated. In addition, on this particular card, there were a couple of unusually slow paces. Horses moving into these slow paces should be given extra consideration when they return. As I have stated, you want to consider a race that was + OR - 8 fifths over the nightly average to be a significant pace anomaly and consider horse accordingly.
