1996 Meadowlands Cup [02:08]
Dramatic Gold won a narrow stretch duel tonight to capture the $750000 Buick Meadowlands Cup, the richest thoroughbred race ever held in New Jersey. Ridden by Kent Desormeaux, Dramatic Gold held off Formal Gold by three-quarters of a length. The 5-year-old covered the mile and an eighth in 1 minute 48 seconds and paid $12.20 for a $2 bet in winning his third race in eight starts this year. Geri, the even-money favorite, finished next to last in the field of 11, his first finish out of the money this year. Mt. Sassafras was third. Gulf Reckoning, who was a perfect 4 for 4 on the Meadowlands main track, led the field through the first three-quarters of a mile. He tired to run fourth and was followed by Eltish, Run Softly, Devil's Honor, November Sunset, Victory Speech, Geri and Stephanotis.

Lord Sterling at the top of the stretch after six furlongs in 1:09.46, and the gelding strode out through the lane to stop the teletimer in 1:48.84 for 1 1/8 miles on a fast track. Lord Sterling held sway by a neck over Where's Taylor. Talk's Cheap finished fourth and Valhol fifth. Vision and Verse finished eighth, with jockey Jerry Bailey labeling the clinker "pitiful."

2001 Meadowlands Cup - Gander
Broken Vow finished a head in front of Include, the Buddy Delp-trained favorite. "Gander was as game as could be," Dominguez said. "He got to control the pace the whole way and that's what made the difference for him." Bailey and Velasquez said that Include might have put a head in front in the stretch, but if the horse did, it was only very briefly. "Usually when a horse like this gets the lead, he's going to win," Bailey said. "But not tonight." This was Delp's first attempt to win this ...
