Hoosier Park hosts the richest Standardbred on farewell tour

He’s the “The Richest Harness Horse of All-Time,” and he’s making a visit to Harrah’s Hoosier Park on Friday, November 2, as part of a stop on his farewell tour. 

A career-winner of more than $7.5 million, Foiled Again is currently in his final season of racing before retirement. 

Hoosier Park’s Emily Gaskin tells us how you can see the legendary pacer race and even get a meet and greet!

Here’s more: 

In September, 2018, at the age of 14, and with only four months to go before his mandated retirement, his owners, Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, and JJK Stables, began the farewell tour to showcase the legendary pacer to racing fans across North America.

Foiled Again has won over $7.5 million dollars in his career, making him the richest harness race horse of all time. He is only the 18th horse in history to reach the 100 win plateau.

A solid performer in his younger years, Foiled Again only got better with age. At age 8, he became the oldest pacer on record to have a million dollar year. By age 9 he had three consecutive million dollar-winning seasons under his belt. That same year he won his first Breeders Crown – the Open Pace at Pocono Downs – against a field of younger horses, and became the oldest horse to win a Breeders Crown. In addition to his race records, he also was named Pacer of the Year in 2011, Older Pacer of the Year three times, and Canada’s Aged Pacer of the Year twice.

He’s won major stakes races at tracks around the US and Canada including three editions of the Hoosier Park Pacing Derby. 

Fans in attendance on November 2 will not only have the opportunity to see Foiled Again compete in a race but also a chance to meet the legendary pacer. Hoosier Park will host a meet and greet with Foiled Again prior to the live racing action where guests can see this harness racing hero up close and personal and also pick-up a commemorative Foiled Again postcard. The evening will include Grand Circuit racing action, live entertainment, giveaways, and more!
