The final of the 49th Delvin Miller Adios, the important test for 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers that is the signature event of The Meadows Racetrack & Casino, is set for the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 1. Adios eliminations will take place Friday, July 24.
The importance of the Adios was underscored in 2014 when the winner, McWicked, went on to earn the Dan Patch Award as the best in his division. The Adios typically carries a total purse exceeding $500,000.
The “Pace for the Orchids” anchors The Meadows’ 2015 schedule that features 208 live cards. The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission has approved the schedule.
Generally, The Meadows will offer four live programs per week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday – each beginning at 12:55 p.m. The season begins Jan. 5. Highlights of the schedule include:
• Through May, the final Friday program of each month will begin at 6:5 p.m. In June, July and August, each Friday card will start at 6: 5 p.m.
• The Meadows will offer live cards to complement each leg of the Thoroughbred Triple Crown. Special post times for those Saturday programs on May 2, May 16 and June 6 is 11:25 a.m.
• The track will continue to offer $5,000-guaranteed total pools for its Pick 4 wager each Monday and Tuesday, a feature introduced in 2014.
