Meadow Magic tops field of nine for Mackinac Handicap

Meadow Magic, winner of the July 31 Dowling Stakes at Pinnacle Race Course, will have to shoulder high weight of 122 pounds when he faces eight rivals, including two James Jackson-trained stablemates, in the $50,000 Mackinac Handicap at Pinnacle Race Course. The Mackinac, at 1 1/16 miles, is for Michigan-bred 3-year-old colts and geldings and will go as the eighth race.

Leading rider Tommy Molina gets the mount on Meadow Magic, who was third in his last start, an Aug. 17 allowance race at Presque Isle Downs. Meadow Magic has 2 wins and 2 thirds from 4 starts this year.
