Stupid auto correct, the headline should read Doon, not Doom!🫣

Really nice effort today by Doon. Just watched the replay on You Tube. Fowlerville Fair. One of my favorite bar names ever was in Fowlerville. The Bloated Goat.

Freudian slip?

Congratulations to the owners of Doon ,who just won an exciting race in Michigan today, I wish Anthony would have tried Emerald Tom in some of the Ohio fairs this summer, purses were not bad at all and maybe he could have broken his maiden there..

Thing is, you can win 20 fair races and still be treated as a Maiden at the Pari-mutual tracks.

Isn't that pari mutuel win rule only in Ohio?

Not sure on that but it definitely applies to the Ohio tracks.  Race 3 tomorrow night at Scioto.  3 fair winners in the maiden.  #9 has won three races.

I'm not sure of all the states that applies to but a couple of years ago I bought into a 3 year old that had 6 wins, 5 of them at fairs, he raced twice at Northfield in n/w 2 and won out of that class. Then went to Saratoga and raced in n/w 7 at one point he reeled off 5 wins in a row and won out of that class then moved to Plainridge where he raced in n/w 9. This horse was a classic example of what Anthony talks about putting horses in where they can win. This horse was nothing special but always seemed to be in a place where he had a chance to win. When he was claimed ($ 30,000) I believe he had 28 or 29 wins in just over 90 starts, not a bad percentage.

It applies to Illinois (not that it matters anymore). When I first start reading programs I thought NW 1 PM, meant night races, so that if a horse won an afternoon race at Hawthorne it did not count against it.
