WASHINGTON (PA) FAIR RACING SHORTENED BY TUESDAY RAIN

WASHINGTON PA – During the two days of racing scheduled at the Washington (PA) County Fair, formerly and better known as Arden Downs, the two-year-olds got all of their action in on Monday, but rain midcard on Tuesday allowed only sophomore trotters to race in the “A” Sire Stakes – their pacing counterparts were washed out.

By far the most impressive mile of the meet came on Monday, from the Delmarvalous – Life’sarealbeach freshman pacing gelding Life’s Marvalous, who reduced his mark to 2:02 with his third win in the “A” fair Sires events. Roger Hammer is the breeder/owner/trainer/driver of the talented sophomore.

Hammer drove four winners on the Monday card, as did Todd Schadel, his co-owner on the storied Hambletonian winner Vivid Photo. With Hammer having the fastest freshman pacer, it seems appropriate that Schadel would have the fastest baby trotter, the Donato Hanover – By A Nose Hanover filly Byathread Hanover. Now a two-time fair winner at the “A” level, Byathread Hanover won here in 2:07.2 for trainer/driver Schadel, co-owner with his wife Linda.

Over a surface rated “slow” on Tuesday, the sophomore Winning Mister gelding Big Bad Caviar put up the fastest trotting time of the abbreviated session, covering the twicearound in 2:06.4 for his second win at the top Sire Stakes level on the circuit. Chris Shaw drove for trainer Jean Rastetter and owner Maryann Rastetter.
​
During the busiest month on the Pennsylvania fair trail, the trotters and pacers will be right back in action at the Dayton Fairgrounds, with racing for two-year-olds Wednesday and three-year-olds Thursday, starting both days at high noon.
