Meadowlands Race 8 - Race 8
DIAMOND BAY (1) brings current winning form, taking a Meadowlands 1609m on May 1 from barrier 1 after settling 5th and ranging up to 2nd late, and draws the pole again. DAYS AWAY (2) is a last‑start Pocono 1609m winner by 4.25L leading throughout and has prior Meadowlands placings. KICKAN (6) was runner‑up in three straight Pocono runs before a last‑start 5th in stronger grade and can figure with a return to that form. ISABELLA BI (3) resumes but did win at Pocono by 3.25L in October and was close‑up 4th here in November.
