The late morning program begins at 11 a.m. with three divisions of the two-year-old filly pace followed by three divisions of the freshman colt and gelding pacers. A total of 121 horses have been entered for the third and final visit to Converse for 2018.
One of the horses competing on the Friday, Aug. 24 racing program at Converse is Victoria Swan from the Tim Gilliland Stable. The Swan for All three-year-old filly trotter, owned by Patty and Nat Hill IV of Bloomington, Ind. was one of the horses on display at the Indiana State Fair in the historic Speed Barns. Victoria Swan, accompanied by Nat, greeted fair goers who came in to see the horses and learn more about racing, courtesy of the Indiana Standardbred Breed Development. Victoria Swan begins from post one in Race 17 with Jordan Ross aboard.
The next stop will be the Elite races held Tuesday, Aug. 28 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
