Title: Northfied MILSTEIN R12 tonight
Post by: Jctoronto on August 15, 2026, 10:10:11 PM
After 10 pm.
3 yr old colts
Fast track
Fast horses
Burke with 2 good ones, surprise?

Big Fave (7-5 ml, postime 3/5?)
#2 MELILLO. Wrenn jr/Burke
Overdue to win a quality purse..easiest field hes seen in long time
Only drawback, inly drawback, date of last race, The Adios Jy 25. a hair too long ago maybe?
Is it possible that three weeks away costs him..might it cost him big Place pool disaster? Hes best if everything is equal, but seldom is.

So...Burkes other good one
#9 ACES AND CINCHES, the trailer adds the lasix AND Gingras for Burke
If he leaves behind #2 instead of Bender's dropback #1, then not impossible to be right there . Start might be everything, as often is, and might really throw a couple others out of any money position to the outside

Others 'in the neighborhood':
#5 Luna and Alagna's colt..something about this 6-1er MYBOYPANK
#6 Noble on for Canada invader Menary BORDERLINE MOBBY
#7 B Miller on for Canada invader Pentland REDLAND ROCKET MAN
who won Grand River Gold Aug 3, dispatching
Beau Jangles, and nosing out the #6 that day.

Callahan with Delaware speedster
Other Scioto, Philly and Yonkers reps too.

Will Milstein be a bumper car special? Stay tuned..getting later in yr and these 9 could use solid check

Good luck

In the tradition of Jctoronto (you know him?  ngc3)...

Let's hit this super!  tmbz1

XXX3

#3 Ballroom Hanover with someone's AA sponsor, Aaron Merriman  ngc3

The horse was no worse than fourth in the last year and the last time he was 4th was exactly one year ago to the day.

For me, Jctroronto and the horse...just get the first 3 in order of finish and I think this super is wrapped up  ngc3

Until next time and good luck!  ;D

great race and they were really racing them last night..no tucks alot of horses parked and 4 wide,,,Mellilo had just enough left to get through on the inside and hold off those fast outside closers. Good to see him win one. I think he will win some more big races as we go through the year.

Excellent, exciting drive by Rockin' Ronnie.  Even looked in doubt despite the short stretch and he dug in with that monster!  tmbz1

I think Mellilo deserves his flowers..he has had bad posts and rough trips all year long. I believe he is better than AI Papi and perhaps the toughest 3 yo. Would love to see him race at 4 and 5.

Did you watch the Adios elimination? Al Papi was a monster that day. Al Papi went a huge mile in the Meadowlands Pace. Parked the entire mile and beat by a head.

Did you listen to the post race interview? Wrenn said he knew the race was over as soon ash had room. The horse had more than "just enough left".

“He’s peaking at the right time and there’s a lot of big races coming up,” Wrenn said. “When he got into the passing lane he exploded.”

The announcer at northfield is the best in the business. Either breed.
