I'm sure the finals will be a day time card, the eliminations need to be at night because all the big boy drivers will be at The Meadows Saturday afternoon.

As soon as the Adios is over, all the grand circuit drivers are gone. Before the ruined the Adios, it was after the Hambo (one or two weeks) and more of the top horses would enter.

I don't think the Adios is "ruined " per say, it's just not what it once was mainly due to different states sire stakes schedules,huge purses and condensed steaks season. Still a pretty strong field all things considered.
