Foiled Again’s victory in the $794,870 Canadian Pacing Derby on Sept. 1, 2012 will go down as the richest win of his career.

A career-winner of more than $7.5 million, Foiled Again is currently in his final season of racing before retirement. The connections of the 14-year-old gelding have taken the opportunity to showcase the legendary pacer to racing fans across North America.

Foiled Again is trained by Ron Burke and owned by Burke Racing Stable, Mark Weaver and Mike Bruscemi (Weaver Bruscemi) and Joe and Kevin Koury (JJK Stables).

Fans in attendance on Dec. 22 will have the opportunity to see Foiled Again compete in a race. His visit to Mohawk Park is currently scheduled as the second-last start of his career before he races for a final time on New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31) at The Meadows in Pennsylvania.

Foiled Again has won 102 of 319 career starts. The legendary pacer has made 17 starts during his career at Mohawk Park and Woodbine Racetrack, recording five wins and 13 top-three finishes.

Mohawk Park has been an important location during the career of Foiled Again. The Ron Burke trainee raced in five consecutive editions of the historic Canadian Pacing Derby from 2011 to 2015, winning the 2012 edition. His victory in the $794,870 Canadian Pacing Derby on Sept. 1, 2012 will go down as the richest win of his career.

Foiled Again’s lengthy list of accomplishments include multiple Dan Patch Awards, an O’Brien Award and victories in the Breeders Crown (2013), TVG Free-For-All (2013), Ben Franklin (2013) and Molson Pace (2011, 2012).

More details regarding Foiled Again’s visit to Mohawk Park will be released in the coming weeks.
