Fourteen fillies and mares, including graded stakes winner Sharp Susan, have been entered for Friday night's $150,000 Grade 3 Violet Stakes at the Meadowlands.

Trained by Bill Mott, Sharp Susan leads the charge from post eight for the mile and a sixteenth turf test. The 4-year-old Touch Gold filly captured the Dr. James Penny Memorial Handicap on July 7 at Philadelphia Park and also picked up checks in the Churchill Distaff Turf (G3) and Ballston Spa (G2). After a six-month layoff, Sharp Susan kicked off her season with a victory over grade III winner Criminologist in an allowance race April 6 at Keeneland. At three, Sharp Susan won the Grade II Lake Placid at Saratoga. Kentucky -based breeders Kenny Troutt and Bill Casner, who race as WinStar Farm, own the filly.

Her competition includes Shytoe Lafeet, a stakes winner at Mountaineer, and Cozzi Capital, winner of the Revidere and third in the Matchmaker (G3) at Monmouth Park. Exchanging Fire, who captured the 2007 Honey Bee Handicap at the Meadowlands, is also among the entrants.

The Violet, with a post time of 10:22 p.m., is carded as race eight on a nine-race program that begins at 7 p.m.

In addition to the racing action on Friday, the Meadowlands will be giving away $2,000 in free gas. Twenty lucky fans will each win a $100 gift card and be entered into a grand prize drawing set for Friday, Nov. 14. The grand prize drawing will give away a $5,000, $3,000 and $1,000 free gas card.
