$375,000 Adios Pace draw complete

WASHINGTON, PA — Elimination winners Abuckabett Hanover, Water Sports Teen and Hellabalou will leave from post positions 3, 4 and 5, respectively, in Saturday’s $375,000 harness racing final of the Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at The Meadows.

Connections of the elimination winners earned the right to select their post positions, with a random draw determining that trainer Tony Alagna would choose first for Abuckabett Hanover. Jennifer Bongiorno chose next for Water Sports Teen, whose 1:48.2 victory was the fastest elim and extended his win streak to five.

Hellabalou’s trainer, Eddie Dennis, selected third, with all other post positions determined by random draw.

The Adios anchors a blockbuster program that includes five other stakes: the $106,745 Quinton Patterson Adioo Volo for 3-year-old filly pacers; a pair of Arden Downs Grand Circuit events for freshman pacers, and a $143,132 Pennsylvania Sires Stake and a $40,000 PA Stallion Series event, both for 3-year-old filly trotters,

In addition, the Adios Day program features five pool guarantees totaling $90,000, including a $40,000 Super Hi-5 guarantee–with a mandatory payout–on the Adios.

Special post time Saturday is noon.
