The final weekend of the 2019 New Jersey Thoroughbred season kicks off Friday with 78 horses entered for the six all-turf races at the Meadowlands Racetrack before wrapping up with a mandatory Jersey Shore Pick 6 payout during Monmouth Park’s closing day card on Sunday.

The Meadowlands will also hold six all-turf races on Saturday to conclude its abbreviated seven-day October meet. Seventy-four horses have entered for Saturday.

Post time at the Meadowlands is 12:30 p.m.

The final program of Monmouth Park’s 61-day meet will feature a Jersey Shore Pick 6 carryover of $43,252 as well as a jockey’s race that may not be decided until the very end of the card.

Paco Lopez, who owns five Monmouth Park riding title, holds a 107 to 106 lead over 2017 leading rider Nik Juarez.

Lopez and 13-time riding champion Joe Bravo are the only jockeys in Monmouth history to win five or more riding titles.
