By Evan Pattak for The Meadows Standardbred Owners Association

WASHINGTON, PA, July 23, 2020 — Papi Rob Hanover, runner-up in last week’s Meadowlands Pace, has been installed as the heavy 3-2 morning line favorite in his elimination for the $450,000 (est) Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at The Meadows. Also tabbed as morning line favorites in Saturday’s eliminations are Sandbetweenmytoes (3-1) and Elver Hanover (5-2).

The first three finishers in each elimination return for the Aug. 1 final.

The action-packed eliminations card, which kicks off at 12:45 PM, also features a pair of stakes for 3-year-old filly pacers — a $188,682 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and a $100,000 PA Stallion Series event — and a $16,582.20 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5.
