The Meadowlands Championship Meet escalates quickly with several important stakes this weekend.
Friday features the first leg of the New Jersey Sires Stakes (NJSS) for the sophomore set. The first of three eight horse $25,000 divisions for colts and geldings kicks off the card and will serve as the stage for the Meadowlands debut of the intriguing Trixton colt Cuatro De Julio.
A homebred, owned by legendary French horseman Jean Pierre Dubois as D Farm, LLC, Cuatro De Julio comes from humble beginnings. He began his career on the dusty Kentucky fair circuit where local horseman Al Efferstein patiently instilled early lessons while guiding him to several victories for trainer Marie Ortolan Bar.
