Earlier this week, it was announced that both Odds on Mamba and now Beau Jangles are both out of the Meadowlands Pace.  So much anticipation of another rematch.  Devastated that it won't happen at The Meadowlands Pace.

Saturday, July 4th, ten three-year-old pacers will go behind the gate in a race to claim the seven open slots in the final on July 11th.  Three horses received byes into the Final.  

The three horses that accepted byes into the 2026 Meadowlands Pace Final are AL Papi, Melillo, and Lindy Dragonwater. These horses earned their spots based on having the highest career earnings among the thirteen total entries for the event.

Beau and Odds on Mr. Mamba were both upset in their respective restricted stakes races.  Beau is being treated for a lung infection, but I haven’t heard about Odds on Mr. Mamba.  It’s so difficult keeping horses at peak form.  And one better be at peak form to handle the depth of quality horses at practically every level.  I don’t think it is fair to compare horses across generations anymore due to the depth discrepancy.
