July Recap!
We finished July with 7 wins and over $350,000 in purse money. We won three stakes on July 17th which was the highlight of the year so far, and broke two Two Year Old Maidens. Looking forward to what August will bring.
Great day at the races
Great Day at the races. Especially if your a Hoosier Bred as we won three Stakes Races at Indiana Downs tonight. All were homebred’s and raised on our Shelby County farm.
DREAMIN BIG won the 10th Running of the Florence Henderson and set a new course record and paid $6.60 $3.40 $2.60. She also set a track record as a two year old going 5/8ths on the dirt at Hoosier Park. With this win tonight she went to $445,000 lifetime earnings, which makes her our highest earner that we have trained entirely.
SNEAKIN AWAY won the 10th running of the A.J. Foyt for owner/breeder Jerry Merritt and Penny Lauer paying $29.60 $12.20 $8.40.
JOINT TENANT won the 10th Running of The Govenor’s paying $61.80 $22.20 $13.80.
We also finished 4th and 5th in the 10th Running of the Indiana First Lady with DINGALINGALING and HARBOR CAT. Both suffered from horrible post positions and some wide turns.
A guy once told me you have to gamble on something everyday, because if you don’t it might have been your lucky day and you would have never known it.
Stable is at 25 wins Purse winnings over $700,000.
