Starlit Dan Dover shines in Expresson Final Starlit Dan Dover and Kyle Wilfong grabbed the spotlight in the $25,000 Expresson Final Friday, May 15 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. After finishing second in a preliminary round, the Indiana trotter made his second start of the season count in a big way for a big longshot victory. Starlit Dan Dover was one of two entered in the final for the LeWayne Miller barn. Miller opted to drive Nighthawk Zette, calling on Kyle Wilfong to take over the duties behind Starlit Dan Dover, an assignment he had previously handled with the gelding with two wins in two drives. Wilfong and Starlit Dan Dover began from post two and got away fourth as Kousin Karl and Trace Tetrick rallied out to an early lead to show the way through the quarter in :28.2. Sunday Swagger and Marcus Miller were then out and rolling at the half in :57.0, taking over around the final turn, August Salazar and John DeLong, then got into the mix and pulled to the outside to challenge for the top spot, which prompted Starlit Dan Dover to the outside as well. In the stretch, Starlit Dan Dover was on the move, trotting home in :28.2 to score the win by a neck at the wire over August Salazar. Tuggin Thomas and Jordan Ross closed from the back for third. Starlit Dan Dover paid $48.20 for the win. The sophomore son of Dover Dan is owned by Richard Freese, L & N Racing, Matthew Lamont, and Dynamic Stables. John Wagler bred the trotter, who sold from the RND Standardbred consignment at the Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale. Nathan Yoder, part of L & N Racing, signed the ticket for him for $30,000. Starlit Dan Dover is the first foal from the mare Jeans and Heels. Although she didn’t race, she comes from a family that did. Her half brother is Jacks to Open, a winner in 1:53.4 with more than a half million on his card. She is also a brother to Joey, a winnin in 1:52.1 with more than $378,000 in earnings. Later in the card, it was the filly trotter’s time in the spotlight as Fresh Face Yankee and Jay Cross led gate to wire for the win by two lengths in 1:54.4. The Cresent Fashion filly, owned by Tim Smith, was a standout last season on the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit for Smith, who owned, trained, and drove her. He has now put her in the hands of Cross as the trainer this season. Fresh Face Yankee is now three for three this season and is 12 for 18 overall. She now has more than $65,000 on her card and her win Friday established a new lifetime mark. Make It Spicy and Kyle Wilfong finished second in the race over Expressive Gal and Atlee Bender.

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.

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.
