On a Saturday (Dec. 12) evening that looked more like a scene out of the Stephen King novel “The Mist” than a night at the races, Ana Afreet N came blazing out of the pocket to down American History in the $28,000 Preferred Handicap for pacers at The Meadowlands.
The weather was anything but cooperative for what was supposed to be a 13-race card, as after the first race where the horses were visible for only the first and final sixteenths of the mile, races two and three were canceled and race four did not go until 90 minutes after the first hit the finish. When racing resumed, it was much of the same as far as seeing–or not seeing–the races. Until the ninth race, that is.
