August 9, 2018,by Thom Pye
Celina, OH — This Sunday (Aug. 12), harness racing fans in western Ohio will be treated to a visit from greatness when harness racing’s all-time leading money winner of over $7.5 million, Foiled Again, will take part in the $10,000 Trent Bates Memorial Free-For-All at the Mercer County Fair in Celina, Ohio.
The 14-year-old war horse, a winner of 100 races lifetime in his 12 years of racing, has drawn post two in the eight-horse race. Chris Page is listed to drive Foiled Again for trainer Ron Burke.
He has some formidable opposition to contend with, such as Don’t Say Goodby, who has won this year in 1:50.4, Hunchie (1:51.1), Mystical Rock (1:51.3) and Snowball’s Romeo, who went a stealth mile of 1:49.4 at Miami Valley in late April.
Post time for the 13-race card, which also features Western Ohio Colt Racing Association action, is 12:30 p.m.
