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.

The duo was a winner during a special Empire of Hope event with the evening dedicated to racehorse aftercare and several fundraisers to benefit the Standardbred Transition Alliance. Bluebird Twilight began from post six and immediately made her presence known to the field in the $16,000 Indiana Sires Stakes Eligible event. She was leading the field through the quarter in :29.0 before passing by the half in :58.4 with everyone staying in place behind her. Around the final turn, Bluebird Twilight opened up on the field by three lengths as she turned for home. In the stretch, Madame Clicquot and Kyle Wilfong had been tracking her every move from the two hole and moved out to challenge. They were closing in but Bluebird Twilight held her ground for the win in 1:57.1. Madame Clicquot was a strong second over Help My Heart and John DeLong for third. Bluebird Twilight paid $9.40 for the win. The Rebuff filly is owned by Jeff Fought Racing, Brian Carsey, Sara Haynes, and Y-Not Racing Stable. Walter Haynes Jr. trains the freshman filly who was bred and raised at Daryl Miller’s Blue Bird Meadows. The Haynes Stable signed the ticket for Bluebird Twilight last fall at the Midwest Standardbred Horse Sale for the daughter of first crop sire Rebuff for $10,000. She sold early in the sale of the first session tagged as the Gold Session. It was the third career start for Bluebird Twilight and her first career win. She previously raced on the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit at Converse to kick off her racing career in June. With Indiana Sires Stakes on the program for leg two of the series for two-year-old trotters taking center stage, it was an older Indiana bred who stole the spotlight in the sixth race. Ponda Jet, current track record holder on the trot, turned in a gate to wire effort for driver Kyle Wilfong. The six-year-old son of Dover Dan fended off a late challenge by Finite and Trace Tetrick for the win by a half length. Drink Up Drink Up and Brandon Bates finished third in the 1:52.3 mile. The effort by Ponda Jet ties his fastest win to date for 2026 taken at Oak Grove earlier this year. Ponda Jet paid $2.60 for the win.
