WASHINGTON, PA, July 19, 2023– Pepsi North America Cup winner It’s My Show headlines a field of 17 top 3-year-old harness racing pacers for the $450,000 Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at Hollywood Casino at The Meadows. Two $25,000 eliminations (races 7 and 8) are set for Saturday, when the card begins at 12:45 PM while the final goes on Adios Day, Saturday, July 29, with a first post of 11:45 AM.
It’s My Show (Sweet Lou-Put On A Show) is undefeated in six starts this year, including that impressive 1:47.4 North America Cup victory. He leaves from post 3, race 8, with Scott Zeron driving. He’ll be joined in the field by his stablemate, Fulton (race 7, post 7, Dexter Dunn), last year’s Pennsylvania juvenile champion. It’s My Show and Fulton give trainer Linda Toscano a formidable one-two punch.
Meadows-based trainer Ron Burke, the sport’s all-time leading conditioner, will be represented by four horses: Gung Ho (race 7, post 4, Yannick Gingras), Act Fast (race 7, post 9, Chris Page), Ervin Hanover (race 8, post 5, Gingras) and Loubet, race 8, post 8, Gingras).
Also sending out multiple hopefuls is trainer Per Engblom, who has entered Strengthfromabove (race 7, post 8, Gingras) and Just Bet It All (race 8, post 1, Tim Tetrick).
The Adios eliminations card also features PA Sires Stake action, while the blockbuster Adios Day program offers five Grand Circuit stakes in addition to the Adios final.
