Live video is available for the 60th edition of the Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows on Saturday, July 25. The $420,500 USD Grade 1 stake is presented by 1/ST BET.
Post positions were determined in a live draw on Wednesday. Odds On Mr Mamba won the initial draw between the two elimination winners and by rule had first choice for post position. Trainer Melanie Wrenn selected post three. That left Al Papi, the other elimination winner from last Saturday, to select next, and trainer Ron Burke chose post four.
Al Papi, who put forth an impressive 1:47.2 victory in last week's elim, was then installed as the 5-2 morning line favourite, with Odds On Mr Mamba the second choice at 3-1 following his 1:49.3 elim victory.
The remaining posts were decided by draw, overseen by presiding judge Scott Egger, representing the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission.
The full draw is below with final driver changes updated.
