Racing resumed at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Friday morning to complete the Grand Circuit program. It was an Erv Miller kind of day with six of the nine races going to his barn, but it was a Ron Burke trainee who took the top stakes of the day as Another Mile Again and Trace Tetrick won the 100 th running of the Fox Stake. The duo covered the mile distance in a time of 1:54.3 over the sloppy rain soaked track. Four two-year-olds lined up behind the starting gate for the Fox Stake with Another Mile Again leaving from the inside joined by Gwtrigger and Kyle Wilfong from the outside. GWtrigger was fine to move into the two hole as Another Mile Again set the tempo. Fractions of :28.0, :57.0, and 1:25.0 were placed on the board. As the field turned for home, the field tightened up and began closing in, but Another Mile Again was strong to the wire, winning by a length over Gwtrigger. Breckin and John DeLong finished third.

This date will go down in history as the decision and vote was completed regarding the move of the prestigious Hambletonian to Harrah’s Hoosier Park beginning in 2027. As this monumental decision was being made, many horsemen and women locally continue to deal with monumental flooding in East Central Indiana. Following a cancellation Wednesday due to excessive flooding and rains, racing was back on track Thursday with several winners picking up new lifetime marks, including Rock of All Time from the Joe Putnam barn. Rock of All Time began from post three and got away in third as Dontspankchecky and Cristian Pacheco took over the top spot followed by The Confession and Rick Plano, who took a seat at their back after the quarter in :27.4. Rock of All Time was then out and rolling to the lead for driver Joey Putnam as the duo settled in at the half in :56.0. Dontspankchecky went off stride, causing interference with several trailing horses. This provided an opportunity for Rock of All Time to get an even bigger hold of the lead around the final turn. In the stretch, Rock of All Time held steady all the way to the wire, pacing home in 28.1 fir the win in 1:52.4, a new lifetime best.

Intricate Dance and Doug Rideout powered out from the outside and had the lead position secured heading into the first turn. Fractions of :30.0, 1:00.3, and 1:30.2 were placed on the board by Intricate Dance before Savings Account and Marcus Miller moved to the outside to challenge.

Fractions of :28.4, :57.3, and 1:26.3 were placed on the board as Brookview Hershey dominated the field, posting a three and one-quarter length advantage at the wire in 1:56.0. Prazana and Dan Shetler finished second over Secret Shadow and Marcus Miller. It was the first win of her career for Brookview Hershey as storms lurked nearby.
