Photo by Dean Gillette Ponda Swan and Marcus Miller turned in a strong final quarter for their first win of 2026 in $10,000 conditioned claiming event Thursday, May 14 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. The Indiana gelding rallied home in :27.3 to score the win at the wire in 1:56.2. Ponda Swan began from post seven and came out of the gate seeking a spot near the front end. However, a slew of horses to his inside had the same idea so he was able to back off the early pace setters and got away in fifth as Dejoma and Trace Tetrick were the first leaders at the quarter in :27.3, quickly taken over by race favorite Surf Scoter and Kiwon Waldron. Heading to the half, Ponda Swan was flushed out and he began to go to work past the half in :57.1. He inched up along the outside of Surf Scoter and was head and head with him at the top of the lane. Ponda Swan swung one more lane out and trotted home to get the win by a neck over Dejoma on the inside. Swan man and Atlee Bender rallied up late for third. Ponda Swan paid $13.20 for the win. He is owned by William Hartt of Maine and trained by Ryan Bellamy. Fashion Hill Farm and Pond-A-Acres teamed up as the breeder on the trotter. He was initially purchased out of the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale for $23,000 as the second foal of Chelseas Chance, a winner in 1:55.3 with more than $300,000 on his card. He was unraced at two and won six races last year. He was acquired by his current connections last August. It was the second win of the night for trainer Ryan Bellamy. He also kicked off the night in the $10,000 - $15,000 claimer with a win from Renegade Gypsy, driven by John DeLong. Bluebird Deacon and Trace Tetrick finished second over Latin Lover and Kyle Wilfong.

Photo by Dean Gillette Whoomp, the freshman phenom from the Roger Welch barn, is back. Named Indiana’s Pacer of the Year last season as a two-year-old, the three-year-old daughter of Rockin Image made her second qualifying appearance Wednesday, May 13 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park, picking up her first win. Guided by John DeLong, Whoomp wasted no time out of the gate, heading straight to the lead. The pint-sized Incredible Luck driven by DeShawn Horton slipped in the two hole followed by Talk Softly and Marcus Miller. Whoomp led by open lengths through the quarter in :28.4 and half in :58.0. Talk Softly stayed as close as she could around the final turn before Whoomp took off, moving out to an eight and one-quarter length advantage at the wire in 1:52.3. She paced her final quarter in :26.2. Talk Softly moved up into second over Incredible Luck. Whoomp is a homebred from the DeLong family breeding operation. She is owned by William DeLong, Wm. Patrick Delong, and Jesse Delong. William and Wm. Patrick bred her from the family’s mare Nightcap, a daughter of Sweet Lou who only made a couple of starts. However, she has turned out to be a great brood mare for the DeLongs. With three foals of racing age, she has three winners, including former Indiana Sires Stakes winner Teelatini with a mark of 1:49.4 and more than a half million on her card, and still racing. The other foal is Saba Rock, also still racing with a mark of 1:49.1 and more than $100,000 In earnings. The family has a two-year-old colt this year by Tellitlikeitis named Soggy Man and a yearling filly, also by Tellitlikeitis named Teelateton. The DeLong family also had another winner on the day as Rock the Charm scored a win in her qualifier for Driver John DeLong. Trained by Tabatha DeLong, Rock the Charm moved to the lead around the final turn and pulled away by nearly five lengths in 1:52.3, a final quarter paced in :26.3. Brooklets Rockette and Kevin Lambright finished second over Fox Valley Tessa and Marcus Miller. Rock the Charm is owned by Jesse, John, and William DeLong. Also a homebred, Jesse bred and raised the Rockin Image filly, who is out of their standout race mare Seventimesacharm, a winner in 1:51.0 with more than a quarter million in earnings. Rock the Charm is her first foal and took a mark last year of 1:51.2 and made more than $155,000. She has a two-year-old sister named Showmesevens by Best in Show and a yearling filly by Loubet named Charmielouwho. It was the second qualifier of the year for Rock the Charm, who has won both of them.

Tookadiveoffdipper and Atlee Bender launched a big final half in the $13,000 conditioned pace Monday, May 11 at Oak Grove. The Indiana duo defeated another Indiana duo for the win in 1:53.0. Tookadiveoffdipper began from post five, just on the outside of Ponda Eagle and Marcus Miller. Both Indiana sired horses showed the best early speed and moved out as the first two names heard. Mankat and Geremy Bobbitt held their ground inside and took the top spot with Ponda Eagle on the outside. Tookadiveoffdipper slipped into the three hole around the first turn. Heading past the quarter, Ponda Eagle took over and was on the lead after the quarter in :27.2. The pace of the race stayed pretty even to the half in :55.4 before outside action was detected. Rockin Ella Mae and Zyler Maxwell led the outer flow which prompted Tookadiveoffdipper to the outside heading into the final turn. The old timer powered up and was matching his younger Indiana opponent stride for stride at the head of the lane. With his earplugs out, Tookadiveoffdipper was able to grind his way home to win by a half length over Ponda Eagle. Mankat rounded out the top three. Tookadiveoffdipper paid $4.24 for the win. The now 12-year-old gelding is owned by Jane Cross and has been under her ownership in some form or fashion since his three-year-old season. The Always a Virgin gelding now has 59 wins and more than $746,000 in earnings. He has 265 starts from nearly every state that races east of the Mississippi. His best time of 1:49.2 was taken as a four-year-old at Dayton Raceway. Jim Eaton trains Tookadiveoffdipper, who has three wins in 2026. Eaton had an earlier winner also at Oak Grove Monday, another Indiana sired product. Rockin Pulse, driven by Wyatt Avenatti, was parked the entire mile near the back and still came charging home, winning by a neck over Wide Thinking at Joey Putnam. The seven-year-old Rockin Image gelding paced home in :27.1 for the win in 1:56.2. Seriously Feared and Brandon Bates finished third. Rockin Pulse paid $4.58 for the win. He is owned by Mary Van Boven of Michigan. It was his first win of 2026 and his 17 th overall. Rockin Pulse is a product of Rockstar Meadows of Spencerville, Ind. Van Boven has been part of his ownership his entire career.
