Veteran trotter Flagman and Kevin Lambright raised his game in the $12,000 upper conditioned trot to score the win in 1:52.4. Flagman began from post three and got away in mid pack as ER Kelly and LeWayne Miller took over the top spot, leading the field past the quarter in :27.4. He got a breather to the half in :56.4 with Operator and Marcus Miller sitting right at his back. In the final turn, the back of the pack began to close in, and once Flagman found room, he was able to surge past his opponents to score the win by two and one-quarter lengths, a final panel trotted in :26.4. Operator finished second over ER Kelly. Flagman was a surprise to the betting public, paying $30.40 for the win. The nine-year-old son of Guccio is owned by Maryann Plano and trained by Rick Plano. Pond-A-Acres bred and raised the gelding, who has 47 career wins and more than $821,000 in earnings. With 176 starts, he continues to impress with two wins already to his credit in 2026. In another upper conditioned trot, Starlitfranknstein and Trace Tetrick turned in a gate to wire effort to win the $10,000 conditioned trot with an option for claimers attached. The four-year-old son of Swan for All had a good lead and was able to fend off a late charge by Niner Fromda Diner and Jared Finn to win by a half length in 1:52.3. Dashing Danny and Kevin Lambright finished third. Starlitfranknstein was the favorite, paying $2.60 for the win. He is owned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Beasty LLC, and Frank Baldachino. Ron Burke trains the John Wagler bred and raised trotter, who now has eight wins in only 25 lifetime starts. His win Saturday was just a tick off his career best time of 1:52.2 taken last year as a three-year-old.

Photo by Dean Gillette Tell’s Pure Power didn’t have a perfect trip, but he had a winning one Friday, July 17 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. The sophomore pacer rallied home with the quickest final panel in the $16,000 Indiana Sires Stakes Eligibles race for the win in 1:52.0, a new career best. Tell’s Pure Power began from the outside post seven and was driven by Trace Tetrick. Just as the starting gate began to fold its wings, Tell’s Pure Power went off stride for about four strides before catching back on and joining the field. He was relegated to the back of the pack as Mellow Fellow and Jared Finn took over the top spot followed by Rock My Memory and John DeLong, who were on the outside before clearing to the lead. Timber Man and Marcus Miller were also in pursuit of the top spot, getting their goal accomplished at the half in :54.4. Heading into the final turn, Check Your Pockets and LeWayne Miller pulled to the outside and shot up on the outside of Timber Man like a rocket. This prompted Flaming Ace and Jordan Ross to also move to the outside, giving Tell’s Pure Power a horse to follow around the turn. Just before the stretch arrived, Tetrick tipped Tell’s Pure Power three wide and the pacer was in full gear on the outside. He paced home in :27.3 and it to the entire length of the lane to get ahead, but he did in the final strides to win by three-quarters of a length in the three-horse photo. Mellow Fellow closed on the outside to finish second over Check your Pockets for third. Tell’s Pure Power was a longshot, paying $32.20 for the win. The Tellitlikeitis gelding is owned by Stepbystep Racing, M & M Racing, Parkview Stables, and Jonathan Schmucker. Victory Hill Farm bred and raised the three-year-old, who was purchased out of the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale for $37,500 with Jamie Macomber signing the ticket as agent. He comes from a long line of racehorses and stakes winners, including A Sweet Ride (1:49.4, $558,000), and Winning Is Sweet (1:51.0, $368,000). Tell’s Pure Power earned his first win of 2026 in the Friday race and his third overall. He now has more than $53,000 on his card for the Ricky Macomber Jr. Stable. Another son of Tellitlikeitis was in the winner’s circle in the very next race as veteran Indiana star Tellmeaboutit turned a two-hole trip into a winning effort in the $14,000 Open 4 Pace. Driven by John DeLong, Tellmeaboutit followed Odds on Outlier and Atlee Bender around the track before attacking the lead, winning by a length in 1:49.4. He paced his final quarter in :26.4. Odds on Outlier was second over Sanday A and Marcus Miller for third. Tellmeaboutit paid $6.40 for the win. The 10-year-old gelding is owned by Twila Harts and Alvin Miller and also trained by Miller. It was his fifth win of 2026 and his seventh year scoring a win under the 1:50 time barrier. The war horse has 42 career wins for Harts and Miller, who have had him his entire career. He became a millionaire earlier this spring. His career best time of 1:47.4 was taken as a six-year-old at Harrah’s Hoosier Park.
