Delaware County Fair: Four Sixes was number one in Old Oaken Bucket

Stakes action on Little Brown Jug Day at the Delaware (Ohio) County Fair kicked off with Four Sixes winning the $92,150 Old Oaken Bucket for 3-year-old male trotters.

With Yannick Gingras in the bike, Four Sixes led the way through fractions of 28 4/5, 57 and 1:25 3/5 on his way to tallying by 7 3/4 lengths in 1:54. Vanguard (Todd McCarthy) got off to a slow start from post one but wound up in the pocket and finished second. The other two horses in the race - Elhelpski (Peter Wrenn) and Say A Prayer (Matt Krueger) - made breaks early.

"He came as advertised. He's actually a really nice horse to drive, and I was glad to pick up the drive," remarked Gingras.
