It is a very fast gait. She reaches and gets across the ground good. To me it feels like a strong gait.” Her elimination win afforded her the luxury of a good post position in the final. She’ll start in the middle of the gate from post five, which will leave McCarthy with an early decision of whether to ask for speed at the start or let the dust settle as other vie for the front. According to the driver, he’s going in with a clean slate. “I have no thoughts on strategy,” said McCarthy, who added that he’ll play it by ear behind the gate. “The Meadowlands is different than other tracks and you can’t really go in with a Plan A and a Plan B. I’ve always found that you should look at the form (program) and get an idea of what you think everyone is going to do, but a lot of the times it doesn’t work like that and you need to have an open mind. “I’m very confident. I know I have the best horse in the race and I just have to make sure she’s in position to get the job done.” The horses McCarthy will certainly be keeping an eye on as the gate unfolds at about 4:40 PM are fellow elimination winner Ready DERICK GIWNER For Moni (post one) and elim runner-ups Back Of The Neck (post two) Ramona Hill starts from post 5 with Andrew McCarthy in and Threefiftytwo (post six).

  • Adios History
    Adios History ADIOS 1 - Romulus Hanover - 1967 This Adios came down to Romulus Hanover and Best Of All. Romulus Hanover almost scratched from the championship because of a calcium deposit on his left front leg. But on this particular day the decision was made to race, and Billy Haughton's colt out maneuvered Best Of All in 2:00.3 to win the inaugural Adios. ADIOS 2 - Bye And Large - 1968 Billy Haughton was back, this time with an entry, Bye And Large and Rum Customer. Haughton had George Sholty drive Bye And Large, considered to be the weaker of the two. Haughton guessed wrong. Bye And Large won both heats. Sholty had a plane to catch and couldn't bring the horse back to the winner's circle. Somewhat embarrassed, Haughton had to do it and he accepted the trophy. ADIOS 3 - Laverne Hanover - 1969 Billy Haughton was back in the winner's circle again but not without incident. Laverne Hanover was the favorite in the first heat, but after being tapped with the whip in the stretch, he went off stride and finished last. Laverne Hanover came back to win the second heat and then won the race-off from Kat Byrd. It was the first time that Haughton had used the whip on the horse. Haughton also said it would be the last! ADIOS 4 - Most Happy Fella - 1970 Most Happy Fella And Columbia George won the two heats of the Adios. They were ordered back for a race0off. In the race0off, Columbia George dropped in behind Most Happy Fella, trailed him all the way and made his move in the stretch but couldn't make up the ground however.
