The Meadows: Post Positions set for Grade 1 Adios

The post positions have been selected and drawn for the 59th edition of the Grade 1 Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids, presented by the Mickey Burke Family, to be contested this Saturday at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.

By rule, the elimination heat winners, Swingtown and Twisted Destiny, selected their posts. Swingtown won the luck of the draw between the two, and trainer Ron Burke selected post 4. Twisted Destiny’s trainer Chris Ryder then chose post 3.

The remainder of the posts were then drawn randomly for the $385,000 race.

1) Papi’s Rocket, driver Mike Wilder for trainer Ron Burke, 20-1

2) Rick Wink, driver Chris Page for trainer Ron Burke, 6-1

3) Twisted Destiny, driver Dexter Dunn for trainer Chris Ryder, 2-1

4) Swingtown, driver Ronnie Wrenn Jr for trainer Ron Burke, 4-1

8) Prince Hal Hanover, driver Todd McCarthy for trainer Ian Moore, 3-1

9) Sippinonsearoc, driver Yannick Gingras for trainer Ron Burke, 12-1

Twisted Destiny has been installed as the 2-1 morning line favorite, followed by Prince Hal Hanover (3-1) and Swingtown (4-1). Morning line odds were made by track announcer Jeff Zidek.

Note that Rick Wink will be adding Lasix for Saturday’s race.

Final driver choices must be made by 10am Eastern on Thursday morning. If there are any scratches prior to that time, the “Also Eligible” horse Doncic (Dave Palone/Brian Brown) will join the field.

The Adios final will be Race #15 on the Saturday card, with first race post set for 11:30am. The Adios will be featured on the FOX Saratoga Saturday broadcast, which runs from 3-6pm Eastern.
