It has been 11 weeks since the undefeated-in-2025 Louprint has competed in a pari-mutuel race, and the anticipation for his return will come to a zenith as he steps on the track in the eighth race on Saturday at The Meadows. The unquestioned leader of the 3-year-old male pacing ranks after his victory in the $740,000 North America Cup at Woodbine Mohawk Park on June 14, Louprint had qualified on July 4 ahead of the Meadowlands Pace the following Saturday. Unfortunately, an emergency procedure was required to remove one of his testicles, and he was never able to compete in the $656,000 race. "I was pretty disappointed to miss the Meadowlands Pace and Adios, said regular driver Ronnie Wrenn Jr., who has driven Louprint in every start of his career except one qualifier. "I'm just glad he's ok and can still be a stallion as well." Through the North America Cup, Louprint had won each of his five starts and set a new lifetime mark of 1:47 1/5 in the process. While pari-mutuelly he hasn't raced since June 14, he did qualify in 1:52 2/5 at The Meadows on August 12 and most recently had a public workout in 1:49 3/5 over the same track one week later. ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter "He felt like his old self but time will tell if he is truly back," said Wrenn Jr. "I spoke to [trainer] Ronnie [Burke] before the last race, and he said [Louprint] would be up to a 1:48 to 1:49 mile." Louprint starts from the outside in post six for Saturday's $59,282 second division of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes. The son of Sweet Lou is the 6-5 morning-line favorite for the ownership group of Burke Racing Stb, Weaver Bruscemi, Phil Collura and Larry Karr. For his career Louprint has won 12 of 15 races and amassed earnings of $1,187,071. "I'm just happy to be back behind him and I hope he can finish out the year well," said Wrenn Jr. The first division of the Sire Stakes (race six) features another of the division's elite as Adios and Milstein winner Prince Hal Hanover starts from post two as the 3-2 morning-line choice. Todd McCarthy drives the Dr. Ian Moore trainee against rival Twisted Destiny, who was second behind him in the Milstein and third in the Adios. Dave Palone picks up the drive for trainer Chris Ryder from post four with regular pilot Dexter Dunn at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Saturday. The 13-race card at The Meadows, which also includes three $20,000 Pennsylvania Stallion Series events for 3-year-old colts and geldings carded as races three, five and nine, gets underway at 12:45 P.M. (EDT).
