The Meadows: Southwind Ozzi a 2-1 early favorite in Saturday's Adios

Elimination winner Southwind Ozzi has been installed as the 2-1 morning line favorite and will leave from post 4 in Saturday's $400,000 final of the Delvin Miller Adios Pace for the Orchids at The Meadows.

The other elimination winners, Captain Victorious (3-1) and Prince Of Tides (4-1), will start from posts 3 and 1, respectively.

Elimination winners chose their post positions, with their order of selection determined by lot. The connections of Southwind Ozzi chose first, followed by the teams of Captain Victorious and Prince Of Tides. The remaining post positions were determined by random draw.

The 53rd edition of the Adios anchors a blockbuster card that features six Grand Circuit stakes as well as the $50,000 Foiled Again Invitational Pace. Foiled Again, who retired as the richest Standardbred all time with more than $7.6 million in earnings, will lead the post parades for the Adios and the Invitational.

The program also includes three guaranteed pools with a combined value of $37,500. The second race Pick 5 kicks off the action with a $7,500 guarantee, followed by a $10,000 Pick 5 in race 11 and a $20,000 guaranteed Pick 4 in race 12.

The Adios Day card begins at 11:25 AM, with the Adios slated as race 15 on the 16-race program.
