"McIlmurray, Mulligan Bi post fast mile at Butler (PA) Fair

Butler, PA --- Three-year-olds were in action in Pennsylvania Sire Stakes at the Big Butler Fair in Butler, Pa., on Friday (June 29).

The most impressive effort of the day was turned in by Mulligan Bi, an Andover Hall colt, in the first race. Owned, trained and reined by Michigan's Jim McIlmurray, Mulligan Bi sat third throughout much of the mile, then made his move around the last turn and came on to best Bob And Bobby (Steve Schoeffel) and Trustworthy Kid (Brian Zendt). Mulligan Bi’s time of 2:03.2 was just two-fifths of a second off the all-time track record for trotters, and was faster than any other mile of the day, including pacing events.

In the second $5,800 colt trotting division, Redder Than Red was a winner for Zendt in 2:05.2. The SJ’s Caviar gelding is owned by the Dunn Stable and trained by Boots Dunn.

Zendt and Dunn then teamed to win the next two races, a pair of 3-year-old filly trots. First up was Barefoot Brook, by Cantab Hall, who scored in 2:07. She was followed by Desired Outcome, a Tom Ridge filly, who covered her mile in 2:07.4. The final filly trotting division was won by Erin Kristen, a Chip Chip Hooray filly, owned by Bill Kirwan. Dave Brickell drove for trainer John McMullen. For Erin Kristen, it was her third straight win on the fair circuit.

Pacers were featured on the remainder of the card, and Roger Hammer dominated the action, winning four of the six races as a trainer, including three driving wins.

Nate Breeze, with Hammer at the lines, won the first colt pacing split in 2:04.3. Nate Breeze is a son of Nuclear Breeze. Stablemate Nucular Enemy, also by Nuclear Breeze, won his division in 2:05.2. The other colt pacing event was won by Real Tenacity, a wire-to-wire victor for New York invader Robert Verney. Owned by Audrey Wolf, Real Tenacity is a son of Real Artist.

The first filly pacing division was won by Wanna Go Fast, a daughter of Yankee Cruiser. Steve Schoeffel trains and was in the bike for owners Trish Adams and Brooke Schoeffel.

Hammer Stable fillies won the day’s last two races. Paints Hall, a Blissfull Hall filly catch-driven by Chris Shaw, won her event in 2:04, while Shootoutthelights, driven by Hammer, was a 2:06 winner. Shootoutthelights is a daughter of Dragon Again.

Yimmy that is my kind of racen and I bet they had a ball.
yeh maybe Podunk to some but believe it or not Podunk is and was the back bone of the harness industry.
By the way love those Andover Hall trotters.
Thanks for the post .

Actually, the headline for the story should have been "PA FAIR RACE NOT WON BY ROGER HAMMER, FOR ONCE."

I am amazed to learn that there is actually in Podunk in my home state of New York.

Lincoln himself referred to this not-entirely-mythical place in the very trying early days of his first term, when he was besieged by office-seekers clamoring for what he called "the postmastership at Podunk."

You know what its hard to believe but here in my home state of California where I live up North they call us hillbillys and whats even funnier my brother is a biker and rides all over the place with his buddies they went up to a town not far from here ten minutes up the road and all these big burly bikers came back to our house to play pool cause they said that town reminded them of the movie Deliverance.I laughed my ass off cause these guys looks so mean and tuff.
Actually the old time fair racing is so much fun. Like I say getting back to that kind of atmosphere with the public is our biggest hope.

There are two kinds of fairs, Fuzz... those at which "elephant ears" are sold, and those at which they are not sold, or, worse yet, are sold but called something else.

Fair racing in PA is a lot of fun, may not be all that competitive however.

Why jab?

[Yimmy]

The poor sod is utterly and totally refractory to even the baldest sarcasm and parody.  Even an explanatory intro, and a clearly parodic thread title still sailed far, far over his head.

Amazing.

[Sea Biscuit]

Why jab?

Go over to my Hempt thread and you'll know why

Go over to my Hempt thread and you'll know why

Isn't it easier to just not jab?   I mean do we need to go down that road and end up with an all out war?
