Papi Rob Hanover, who was the runner-up in last week’s Meadowlands Pace, has been installed as the heavy 3-2 morning line favourite for his elimination for the $450,000 (est) Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at the Meadows.
Also tabbed as morning line favourites in Saturday’s eliminations are Sandbetweenmytoes (3-1) and Elver Hanover (5-2).
The first three finishers in each elimination will advance to the August 1 final.
The action-packed elimination card, which will kick off at 12:45 p.m., also features a pair of stakes for three-year-old pacing fillies — a $188,682 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes event and a $100,000 PA Stallion Series event — and a $16,582.20 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5.
