No clear favorites in the competitive Adios race

The Delvin Miller Adios Pace is an exciting event for horse racing enthusiasts, offering a chance for 15 horses to compete for the prestigious title. As the article by John Sacco for the Observer-Reporter highlights, none of the horses entered in the race are considered standouts or particularly hot at the moment. However, the upcoming week will determine which horse will emerge as the Adios Pace champion at The Meadows.

The Adios eliminations are set to take place in two divisions on Saturday night, with the top four horses from each division qualifying for the $400,000 Adios Pace final on July 27. The ninth horse in the final will be determined by the higher lifetime earnings between the two fifth-place finishers in the eliminations. Post positions for the final will be selected by the connections of the elimination winners, with other positions determined by a random draw.

Trainer Tim Twaddle expressed his optimism for his horse, Timeisonmyside, who has shown promise with five wins in 10 starts this season. With the advantage of the inside post position at their home track, Twaddle and driver Anthony MacDonald are aiming to secure a spot in the final and compete for the win.

Local driver Mike Wilder, a previous Adios winner, will be driving R N B Band in the first elimination. Despite limited knowledge about the horse, Wilder is hopeful for a strong performance and is aiming for a top-four finish in the race.

Favorites in the respective divisions include Captain Albano and Captain Luke, with other top contenders such as Wish You Well, Noblesville, Rush In, Sweet Beach Life, and Huntingforchrome among the 15 entrants. Trainer Nifty Norman and trainers Travis Alexander and Ron Burke have multiple horses in the race, adding to the competition and unpredictability of the event.

As the excitement builds for the Adios Pace, Scott Zeron, driver of Captain Luke and Rush In, acknowledges the prestige of the race and the competitive field. With the unpredictability of horse racing, anything can happen on race day, making it an event to watch for fans and bettors alike.

In addition to the Adios Pace, the article mentions the upcoming Pennsylvania Sire Stake action and PA Stallion Series stakes, providing a glimpse of potential future Adios hopefuls. The Meadows is also set to offer a record $200,000 in guaranteed pools on Adios Pace final day, making it a lucrative day for bettors with 11 pools guaranteed during the 16-race card.

Overall, the Delvin Miller Adios Pace promises an exciting and competitive event for both participants and spectators, with the potential for unexpected outcomes and thrilling races. As the horses prepare to compete for the title, fans can look forward to a day filled with high-stakes racing and the thrill of watching these talented horses in action.
