Fans who came to the Meadowlands on Saturday night expected to see a Ben Franklin rematch in the $471,800 William Haughton Memorial, but instead they witnessed the crowning of Always B Miki as the clear-cut best older pacer in North America.Freaky Feet Pete left the gate as has been the norm and quickly gave up command to Wiggle It Jiggleit at the opening quarter in 25 3/5. Those two came off the turn in line as Always B Miki began his move on the backstretch of the 1-1/8 mile race.Driver David Miller asked Always B Miki for speed and gunned to the front passing the half in 54 seconds. The duo continued the solid tempo as Shamballa initiated the outer flow while towing All Bets Off into the race.Shamballa gave his all on the rim, gaining steadily by three-quarters and coming up to the winner just before the mile marker in 1:48 1/5, but Always B Miki was too strong. Wiggle It Jiggleit attempted to split foes in the stretch but lacked his usual zest in the stretch while finishing third behind the top pair. Freaky Feet Pete was fourth.The final clocking of 2:01 1/5 set a world record, the third straight world record mile for Always B Miki.Once I got to the front as easily as I did, I thought he was in pretty good shape; I thought it would be more of a battle, said Hall of Famer Miller, who put Always B Miki in perspective with some of his past drives. Hes one of the best horses Ive ever driven. Ive driven some really good horses, but I have an emotional attachment that goes along with him. Hes definitely one of my favorites.Trainer Jimmy Takter was non-committal about the 5-year-olds next start, but it is widely expected to be the U.S. Pacing Championship on Hambletonian Day at The Meadowlands (August 6).It is such a long year, and Im dealing with flesh and blood. Every start for me, I have to absorb what he has done, and I have to see how he came out of the race, work on him a little bit. Hes not a horse that can race week after week, said Takter, who mentioned winning the Breeders Crown and TVG final as goals for later in the season.Always B Miki added $219,387 to his career earnings with the win and has now eclipsed $1.78 million for owners Bluewood Stable, Roll The Dice Stable and Christina Takter.The winner paid $2.80 as the favorite.Fake Twins Jerseys .

Their five inclusions all played well despite the speculation.The only sour note from the win was the broken collarbone suffered by Lin Jong that has ruled him out of the 2016 finals series.

To make things even more difficult, the Swans will be without Kurt Tippett (hairline jaw fracture) and Callum Mills (hamstring) for their clash with the Crows.Adelaide enter the match in far greater touch. The Crows booted 21 goals in a demolition of North Melbourne and will fancy themselves against the stalling Swans. Eddie Betts and Rory Sloane were named among the top six players this season as voted by the players themselves, and will both play a decisive role.Key head-to-head: Daniel Talia vs. Lance FranklinIs there a bigger assignment in football than containing Buddy in a final?While bright early on against the Giants, Franklin faded and failed to kick a goal in a final for the first time in his career. The forward will be eager to respond at the SCG, which makes Talias job all the more difficult.Also worth a mention is the Nick Smith vs. Eddie Betts match-up. The small forward is in career best form and fresh from a six-goal haul against the Kangaroos. This match may well be decided by which defender can curtail their opponent the better.Swans: B Nick Smith, Heath Grundy, Dane Rampe HB Harrison Marsh, Aliir Aliir, Jarrad McVeigh C Isaac Heeney, Josh P.

They have played 21 finals since then.UBET verdict:?Adelaide confined North Melbourne to the scrap heap last week and the early money trail suggests the Crows can do another number on the Swans. Adelaides the only team in commission at this stage and first goal scorer punters are lining up to back Eddie Betts.Weather:?Mostly sunny with a top of 21. No rain expected.Prediction: The Crows enter this match off the back of a strong win and will cause the Swans all sorts of issues if their forward line is functioning.
