The Meadowlands Racetracks is an established horse racing facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey. These racetracks have been operating since 1976, with notable events like the first million dollar race in U.S. racing history taking place on its well-kept dirt track. It is important to know how to follow horse racing at Meadowlands Racetracks to keep up with the fast pace of betting.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Gaze out toward New York City before you watch races from the Pegasus restaurant at Meadowlands Racetracks. The Pegasus resides at the top of the track's stands, with closed circuit televisions and track-side tables allowing gamblers to stay well-fed while they follow races.

  2. Step 2

    Hold a party with fellow horse racing fans at Meadowlands Racetracks in a group room at the club level. There are several rooms available for groups over 50 who want to follow daily thoroughbred and harness races while enjoying the company of friends.

  3. Step 3

    Incorporate the feeling of a movie theater with your love of horse racing at the Paddock Teletheater. This miniature theater allows gamblers and casual observers the chance to watch each race on a large screen in a comfortable room.

  4. Step 4

    Hunker down in comfortable seats at the grandstand level of Meadowlands Racetracks. The open-air stands have individual seats available at a low price for latecomers to an evening's competitions.

  5. Step 5

    Utilize the racing website established by Meadowlands Sports Complex to help you follow fast-paced races at the track (see Resources below). The track's website has streaming video every day, as well as audio from the track announcer that give you an orientation of happenings on the track.

  6. Step 6

    Clarify the blur of racing horses and quick announcements from the track by looking to the infield scoreboard. The Matrix board is a new edition to the Meadowlands and provides the win, place and show horses for each race.

  7. Step 7

    Grab a quick snack, and finish your bets for the day by stopping at Franchises at the Meadowlands Racetracks. This deli-style restaurant is a hot spot for regular visitors who want to save money for their bets.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember your victorious day at Meadowlands Racetracks by using the track's in-house photographer. The Meadowlands uses different photographers for harness and thoroughbred racing to cut down on the workload for photographers. Identify your race number and desired photo subject to get the right picture.
