Adios: The Big Daddy of Harness Racing

Adios: The Big Daddy of Harness Racing by Marie Hill

One night at New York’s famed Yonkers Raceway, out of a 12-horse field, seven horses entered were children of Adios. The hores who called Adios Daddy were Adios Cleo, Adios Don, Henry T. Adios, Cape Horn, Adiosand, Hogan Hanover, and Lang Hanover. What is more, in another race that same evening, the famed Adios Butler, another son, was entered as an odds-on favorite.

Longtime harness-racing devotee Marie Hill has in this book detailed with skill and accuracy the life of the famed sire, and the lives of his famous sons and daughters as well. She tells the story of Adios in the form of a biography, and then – in briefer fashion – perfors the same service for his offspring.

Adios was born on January 3, 1940, at Two Gaits Farm, Carmel, Indiana.
