PHOTO - Kevin Detweiler guides Brookview Holiday to victory, one of eight wins on the card Wednesday, July 29 at the Fayette County Fairgrounds to sweep the day's races on the ISFC. There isn’t 100 percent certainty, but the number of drivers who have swept an entire racing program in horse racing history is pretty low. Kevin Detweiler did just that Wednesday, July 29 at the Fayette County Fairgrounds when he guided winners in all eight races. The program was postponed from the previous day due to weather and track conditions, but the 18-year-old Detweiler was ready for action when the program began in Connersville. Detweiler’s first win was his closest. Guiding two-year-old trotting filly Sassytemper, the duo went straight to the lead from the start, fending off Mike Peterson and Misty Springs in the final strides for the win by a neck in 2:05.4. Wizards Temptation and Robert Taylor finished third. Sassytemper, a daughter of Temporal Hanover, is owned and trained by Joseph Wagler. She was bred by Gary Miller. The win was her sixth in nine starts this year. She leads the way among freshman trotting fillies by points in the Quest for the Governor’s Cup. Detweiler’s next win was in the two-year-old colt and gelding trot as Brookview Holiday, also the leader on the ISFC this season, got back on track with a win. The Temporal Hanover gelding, also owned and trained by Wagler of Milroy, Ind., had to delay a push to the top with a second tier start. After getting away third, he rolled to the outside heading to the three-quarter pole and took over around the final turn, picking up the win by two and one-half lengths in 2:08.3 over the good track. Impel Dan and Robert Taylor finished second with Keep It Fifty and Travis Williams finishing third. Brookview Holiday, a product of Brookview Farms, has been driven by Detweiler in all of his starts. His quickest win was at Frankfort this summer in 2:04.1. Other wins on the card for Detweiler were Bests Swans Rocker in two-year-old colt/gelding trotting action, Rita’s Girl and Velgetthisstraight in three-year-old filly pacing action, and Vel Im Good, Vel Big Shocker, and Vel See You Later in three-year-old colt and gelding pacing action. Ironically, trainer Joseph Wagler won the first four races with Larry King winning the last four. This is the second year of driving for Detweiler, who hails from Milroy, Ind. He won 35 races last year from 237 starts mainly on the ISFC. He earned his first career pari-mutuel win earlier this year before the ISFC got underway. To date, Detweiler has 69 wins in 2026 with a tally of 104 career wins from 503 starts. This season has been a breakout year for the young driver as he’s batting .439 as a driver in 2026. The ISFC heads back to Converse next week for two straight days with racing set for Saturday, August 8 at Portland. One more stop is slated on the ISFC before the finalists in the Governor’s Cup Championships at the Indiana State Fair. All ISFC contenders are required to have seven starts to advance to the $25,000 Championships. The top eight will compete in the championships while the next eight will race in the $10,000 consolations.

After experiencing her first loss in her last start on the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit, Bella Notte and trainer-driver Joe Putnam were back on track Monday, July 27 at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in Connersville, Ind. The freshman pacing filly kicked off the 12 th session of the ISFC with a win. Bella Notte began from post three in the six-filly lineup and Putnam took his time with the homebred filly. They got away in third but were gapping by several lengths off the top two with Velmissfoxyshooter and Clint Coy leading the way to the quarter in :30.0 followed closely by Kobe’s BB and Kevin Detweiler. As the field passed by the grandstand for the first time, Bella Notte had caught up to the leaders and moved to the outside at the half in 1:02.2. At this point, she challenged Velmissfoxyshooter on the outside for the remainder of the race. Velmissfoxyshooter was not going away quietly, but Bella Notte kept her composure and stayed focus through the final turn before finally taking over. Once on the lead, she pulled away for the win by two lengths in 2:01.3, a final quarter in :29.1. Kobe’s BB finished second over Velmissfoxyshooter. Bella Notte is now six for seven in her young career. The daughter of Capt Midnight is owned by Joey Putnam and Lyndar Stables. Lyndar Stables and Rocco Ruffolo bred the filly, who is out of Putnam’s race mare U’ll Learn, who was one of the first horses Joey Putnam drove when he began his driving career. The younger Putnam, who has driven her to four of her wins, was in Kentucky driving for the day, so Joe Putnam took the driving duties and is now two for two behind the filly. She retook control of the leaderboard headed to the Governor’s Cup Championships with 307 points. Her career best time of 1:59.0 was taken at Frankfort in early July. One of the closest finishes on the day was recorded in a division of the three-year-old trotting fillies as Strong ABC and Michael Detweiler fended off KC Macy and Kevin Detweiler at the finish line. Strong ABC led the field gate to wire in the win by a nose over KC Macy in 2:07.4. Bluebird Sappy and Mike Peterson finished third. Strong ABC is trained and leased by William Wagler. Darrell Swartzentruber bred the Strong Opponent three-year-old filly, who earned her second win of 2026. Michael Detweiler was a late driver change on the filly and he is now two for two on the ISFC with her this season. The ISFC is split into two locations Tuesday, July 28 with a return to the Fayette County Fairgrounds for action along with a second session scheduled for the Elkhart County Fairgrounds in Goshen, Ind. The Fayette County Fairgrounds has eight races slated with the Elkhart County Fairgrounds showcasing 12 on their card. Both programs begin at 11 a.m.
