Photo by Dean Gillette After going winless during her first two seasons, Meadowbrook Dora has turned her form around as a four-year-old. Owned, trained and driven by Mike Peterson, the Indiana trotter rallied home to a new lifetime mark to kick off the Thursday, July 16 racing program at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. Meadowbrook Dora began from post one and was able to use just enough early speed to get the two hole behind early leader Pilots Legacy and Jordan Ross. Fractions of :27.2 and :56.2 were placed on the board before horses from the back were out and moving forward led by Quick Cash and John DeLong. At the head of the lane, Meadowbrook Dora had plenty of room and moved out to challenge Pilots Legacy. She was able to get by her opponent in the final strides to win by one and one-quarter lengths in 1:53.4, a final quarter trotted in :27.4. Pilots Legacy was second over Lethimgojoe and Juan Franco, who closed the quickest of the field to finish third. Meadowbrook Dora was a big surprise, paying $45.00 for the win. The daughter of You Know You Do was bred and raised by Freeman Bontrager. Peterson purchased her from the Meadowbrook Farm consignment for $13,000. She is the second foal from the Broadway Hall mare See Me Sparkle, a winner in 1:57.0 from a maternal family with a lot of winners. Meadowbrook Dora has now won four races in 2026 and has won more than $40,000 this season. A few races later saw another longshot make it to the winner’s circle in another division of the conditioned claiming event. LeWayne Miller guided Surf Scoter to a big finish to win in 1:54.4, also a new lifetime mark. Surf Scoter got away in mid pack before finding room in the lane and closing in on Big Swig and Kyle Wilfong for the win by a neck. Fox Valley Snapper and Marcus Miller finished third. Surf Scoter paid $49.00 for the win. The four-year-old son of Don’t Let’Em is owned by Eash Racing Stable and trained by Don Eash. Sam Lambright Jr. bred the gelding, who earned his fourth win of 2026 and his ninth overall. He is just under the $75,000 mark for career earnings.

Photo by Dean Gillette Ican Hardly Wait was very patient Wednesday, July 15 and turned in a big final eighth to score a win in her very first start at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. Kevin Lambright guided the freshman trotter to victory in a time of 2:01.3, a final quarter in :27.1. Ican Hardly Wait began from post seven and that is where she got away. Rollin G Forces and Anthony Miller took over the top spot from an inside post with Bluebird Tempor and Ross Leonard getting the two-hold behind the leader. After the quarter in :29.2, Vel Foxy Pedro and LeWayne Miller moved to the outside in front of Ican Hardly Wait and sprinted up to the leaders. Ican Hardly Wait moved to the outside with intentions of getting a second over trip, but Vel Foxy Pedro had moved away from her too quickly, so she was left on the outside in mid pack through the final half. At the head of the lane, Rollin G Forces was still in command on the inside and Vel Foxy Pedro was applying pressure on the outside. Ican Hardly wait tipped to the outside and was still in fifth, but was within striking distance. As the field moved to the wire, Ican Hardly Wait hit another gear and rallied past all her opponents, getting the win by one length over Rollin G Forces. Bluebird Tempor finished third. Ican Hardly Wait was a big longshot, paying $57.00 for the win. The Temporal Hanover filly is owned by Ira Steinberg and trained by Daryl Bontrager. Ican Hardly Wait was bred by Thomas Svensen in New Jersey. She was purchased by Bontrager out of the Midwest Standardbred Horse Sale(MSHS) under the name Casual Style for $11,000. Ironically, Rollin G Forces sold two yearlings later in the MSHS for $9,000. Later in the card, another Temporal Hanover freshman scored a win as Temporals Dream and Trace Tetrick scored their division of Indiana Sired non winners of one in 1:58.2. Temporals Dream got away in fourth as Like A Rock G and Kyle Wilfong took over the top spot early. However Temporals Dream did not sit back and follow along. He was out before the half and continued to pursue the top spot until he got it at the head of the lane. Temporals Dream trotted home in :28.1 to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:58.2. Dashing Dover and Peter Wrenn closed in for second while Rebum and Brandon Bates finished third. Temporals Dream paid $4.40 as one of the favorites. Silver Bit Equine and John McGill own the two-year-old. Martin Hilty bred and raised the gelding with Walter Haynes Jr. now serving as trainer.

Leapnpetesonhisway and Logan Loney showed the way to the finish line Tuesday, July 14 in a division of the Two-Year-Old Colt and Gelding Pace during Indiana Sired Fair Circuit (ISFC) action at the Clinton County Fairgrounds. The colt paced the Doc McClain Memorial track in a time of 1:59.4 for the win. A second tier start delayed Leapnpetesonhisway’s move to the front as he followed Premier Finaltouch and Ronald Burks out of the gate and to the quarter in :30.1. It was then time for Leapnpetesonhisway to be on his way. He was out and moving at the half in 1:01.2 before taking over the top spot. Heading into the final turn, the colt began to place more distance between him and the rest of the field. Heading into the stretch, Leapnpetesonhisway was well under wraps by Loney to win by three and three-quarter lengths in 1:59.4, a final quarter in :28.4. Premier Finaltouch held his ground inside for second over Literally Rockin and Mike Peterson for third. Leapnpetesonhisway is owned by Therl Hensley and trained by Rocky Loney. The Freaky Feet Pete colt was bred and raised by Dr. Paul and Cathy Webb. It was his fourth win in his fifth start of his career, and with the absence of Mason Kent, he now moves up into the top position for ISFC points en route to the Governor’s Cup Championships at the Indiana State Fair. His career best time of 1:59.2 remains his quickest taken at Converse earlier this year. Loney swept the freshman pacing colt/gelding divisions as he also guided Midnight Fox to an impressive win in 1:57.4. He got away in second early on behind Show Me Wutchagot and Mike Peterson before they broke stride at the quarter with broken equipment. Midnight Fox inherited the lead and was open lengths ahead of the rest of the field. Dominance continued for Midnight Fox through the second half as he powered home by 17 lengths to win in 1:57.4, a final quarter paced in :29.0. RB’s Choclitis and Ronald Burks finished second over Special Rocker and Anthony Miller. Midnight Fox, a son of Capt Midnight, is owned by D and J Racing Stables of Mississippi. Jonathan Williams trains the gelding, who was bred by Merlie Schwartz. It was his first career win in his fifth career start. The ISFC continues for a second session at the Clinton County Fairgrounds Wednesday, July 15 in Frankfort. Racing gets underway at 6 p.m. featuring two-year-old trotters and three-year-old pacers. The next stop for the ISFC is at Jay County Fairgrounds. Racing is slated for Monday, July 20 with a first post time set for 11 a.m. in Portland.
