Mekong Melody - The Long Island (G3) [02:51]
Mekong Melody took the shortest trip around the track and kicked clear after finding room in the upper stretch to register an impressive victory in the Grade 3, $150000 Long Island Handicap on Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Mekong Melody, the 7-2 third choice, returned $9.40 for a $2 win wager to her backers in the crowd of 4132 and completed the 1 ½-mile journey in 2:30.74.
