Wynnfield Flash could pose the biggest threat to Panaramic Art�s 13-race streak in the $60,000 Oil Burner Final on Saturday night at the Meadowlands. The prolific pair of 3-year-old pacers square off in the featured fifth race on the card.

Panaramic Art bids for his 14th straight win from post six, while Wynnfield Flash looks for his 14th overall from post five. While Panaramic Art was scratched from the second round of the Oil Burner Series, Wynnfield Flash delivered a hard-fought 1:51.1 victory last week. Delaware-based Josh Green trains the colt.

"It was a tough one,� said Green�s assistant, John Dunlap, of the colt�s first Meadowlands win. �He has never seen so much wood. Tim [driver Tim Tetrick] tried to take him off the gate, but he was too strong and had to just roll with him. In the end, it worked out better. He had no luck. He went out from the gate and had to be pulled early. There was a lot of dead [cover] in front of him."

Wynnfield Flash, an obscure son of Spirited Style, was unraced at two. This season, he has hit the board in 18 of 21 starts, earning $92,100. Larry Baron of Horsham, Pa. purchased the gelding from Pam and Charlene Polk, the mother-and-daughter team behind the pacer�s early success, on Sept. 20, 2007.

"We got him about four months ago,� Dunlap noted. �Josh had his eye out for him. He is a very smart young horse. He feels good, sometimes too good, but they are all like that at this age. He knows a lot about racing, but he needs a lot more experience. He has been raced a lot on the front end, but he needs to race more from a hole or from behind. When we got him he didn't have too many starts. He was just young." (Meadowlands)
