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, July 26 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 four. Twisted Destiny’s trainer Chris Ryder then chose post three.

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