Hollywood Casino at The Meadows has announced that 1/ST BET, powered by Xpressbet, will be the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Grade 1 Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids.  The 60th edition of the race will be contested over two weekends, with elimination races on Saturday, July 18 and the $350,000 USD final set for Saturday, July 25.

“We are extremely proud to partner with 1/ST BET on this year’s Adios,” said Michael Carter, Director of Racing at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows.  “1/ST BET and Xpressbet have long supported The Adios and other events locally, and this expansion of our partnership is a win for everyone, including our local racing community and horseplayers that will watch and wager on The Adios from across the country,” he added.

1/ST BET is an industry leader in horse racing account wagering and has had an association with The Meadows spanning two decades.  

Dustin Fabian, Senior Director of Marketing for 1/ST BET, added, “At 1/ST BET and Xpressbet, we believe in harness racing, and we strongly support any and all initiatives to increase exposure and wagering for the sport. 1/ST BET, Xpressbet and The Meadows have a longstanding collaborative history of bringing world-class harness racing to horseplayers and racing fans, and we’re honoured to be part of the 60th anniversary of the Adios. Over the next few months, be on the lookout for exclusive Adios promotions and offers on our platforms.”

The Adios has a rich history of crowning champions and is one of only five Grade 1 events for three-year-old pacers in North America.  Over the years, many of the sport’s top sophomores have won the Adios, including Albatross, Abercrombie, Ralph Hanover, McWicked, and, in 2025, Prince Hal Hanover.  

The final of the Grade 1 Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids, presented by 1/ST BET, will highlight a fan and family friendly day of activities, starting at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 25.
