Grand circuit racing at Delaware Fair on Sunday

Two $66,800 divisions of the Ohio Breeders Championship (OBC) for two-year-old filly pacers will feature the opening day (Sunday, September 15) of the five-day Delaware County Fair harness racing meet.

The word is out on The Word Is Out, a Well Said filly, who has won 5 of her six career starts and earned $229,750. She will be the bettor’s choice despite the fact she drew the outside post #5 in the first division.

Ron Burke trains and co-owns the filly with Knox Services, Beasty and R A S Racing. Chris Page will drive.

Prolific Fire (Austin Hanners) and Queen Of Fear (Ronnie Wrenn, Jr.) will provide the main challenge.

Prolific Fire has earned nearly $85,000 this season, while Queen Of Fear has a lifetime mark just a fifth of a second off The Word Is Out’s best time of 1:52.2.

The second division is headed by Skywalker Sea, a winner of two races and $82,200 this season. Austin Hanners will drive the homebred daughter of Downbytheseaside for Greg Luther Racing and trainer Todd Luther.

Race #15 will be the $36,000 OBC for aged pacers.

The 2021 ‘Ohio Horse of the Year’ Charlie May (Dan Noble) must overcome post seven in this deep field.

The six-year-old gelded son of McArdle is owned by Don R. Tiger and has earned $2.2 million lifetime with a lifetime mark of 1:47.1 taken in 2023.

The Brian Brown trainee, Seafire is the 5/2 morning line second choice and will leave from post #2. The son of Downbythseaside recently won the $100,000 #senditin Invitational on August 17 at Eldorado Scioto Downs in a swift 1:48.

Seafire is owned by Country Club Acres, Joelyn Ridder, Mark Kantrowitz, and Scott Davis.

Charlie May defeated Seafire by a half-length in the $85,000 Ohio Sires Stake Championship on August 30 at Eldorado Scioto Downs.

Jugette and Jug Day Post Time Changes

Post time for the Jugette (Wednesday) and Jug Day (Thursday) cards have been moved up to 11:00 AM.

Three Amateur Races to be Held

Sunday’s 17-race card will have three races for amateur drivers. Two divisions of the Great Lakes Amateur Driving events will be held along with the $5,000 Tim Fouts Memorial Standardbred Driving Final. The Fouts Memorial brings together representatives from the nation’s top amateur driving clubs and honors the former Presiding Judge at the Delaware County Fair.
