Post positions have been drawn and the morning line set for the $400,000 Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids, which will be contested at the Meadows this Saturday afternoon (July 27).
Elimination winner Southwind Ozzi has been installed as the 2-1 morning line favourite and will start from Post 4. Fellow elimination winners, Captain Victorious (3-1) and Prince Of Tides (4-1), will start from Post 3 and Post 1, respectively. For a complete recap of the eliminations, click here.
Elimination winners chose their post positions, with their order of selection determined by lot. The connections of Southwind Ozzi chose first, followed by the teams of Captain Victorious and Prince Of Tides. The remaining post positions were determined by random draw.
The 53rd edition of the Adios will anchor a blockbuster card that will feature six Grand Circuit stakes as well as the $50,000 Foiled Again Invitational Pace. Foiled Again, who retired as the richest Standardbred all time with more than $7.6 million in earnings, will lead the post parades for the Adios and the Invitational.
The program also includes three total-pool guarantees with a combined value of $37,500. The Adios Day card will begin at 11:25 a.m., with the Adios slated as Race 15 on the 16-dash program.
