Looks to remain
undefeated at three in PASS at The Meadows on 6/4. Perhaps the best of
Burke’s four Pace eligibles has ripped off four straight wins to kick off his
3-year-old season including $561,500 PA Classic after disappointing end to
2-year-old season due to foot injury

Is entered to
qualify Saturday morning at the Meadowlands for a third time ahead of 3YO
debut. Wickedly fast son of art major set his lifetime mark in a track record
win at vernon downs. new york sire stakes champion was the fastest
two-year-old last season, but was scratched out of the breeders crown final.
