East Rutherford, NJ

East Rutherford, NJ — Favorites were defeated in both Meadowlands Amateur Drivers Club races on Friday (July 26) at the Meadowlands. In the first race, James Slendorn, driving his Empereurthebest FR, left hard from his rail position and seated all his competition, but he paid a stiff price going the first quarter in a rapid :27.1. Sitting the pocket journey from his outside post and a half-mile timing of :56.1, Fashion Cantab (Tony Verruso) waited patiently before pouncing on the vulnerable leader as the field entered the stretch. He gained command through the lane and held off a late charge by favorite Love This Bar (Bruce Baker) to win by just over a length in 1:55. Rounding out the trifecta was long shot, Masster Blue (Joe Lee). Symon Spicer trains the victorious Cantab Hall gelding for owner George Beck.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
