Done Well, Dorsoduro Hanover Adios elim favorites

WASHINGTON, PA, July 18, 2018 — Done Well and Dorsoduro Hanover have been installed as the 5-2 and 2-1 morning line favorites, respectively, in Saturday's eliminations for the $450,000 (est) Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at The Meadows.

Done Well was second in the final of the North America Cup but followed that up with a pair of fourth-place finishes in the Max Hempt. He'll go from post 7 in the first elimination for Tim Tetrick and trainer Brian Brown.

Dorsoduro Hanover turned in a huge performance from post 10 to grab second in the Meadowlands Pace final in his most recent outing. The Ron Burke trainee leaves from post 3 in the second elimination with Matt Kakaley piloting.

The first four finishers in each elimination, plus the fifth-place finisher with higher career earnings, return for the final. Elimination winners will choose their post positions for the final — their selection order will be determined by draw — with all other post positions determined by random draw on Tuesday, July 24.

The Adios final headlines a blockbuster Saturday, June 28 card that also features five other Grand Circuit stakes. The Adios Day program begins at noon.
