Harrah's Hoosier: Track record performance by Fulfullnmydestiny

Fulfullnmydestiny broke the Harrah's Hoosier Park track record for a 2-year-old male pacer on Friday night in winning his $47,500 Indiana Sires Stakes split in 1:50 for trainer-driver James Yoder.

After being positioned fourth at the 26 4/5 opening quarter, Yoder brought Fulfullnmydestiny to the outside, and Fulfullnmydestiny would brush to the top before the 55 3/5 half. From there, Fulfullnmydestiny ripped through three-quarters in 1:23, opening up a big lead on his foes in the process, and a 27 second final kicker sealed the seven length victory. Paw Patrol (John De Long) was second and Yourwishisgranted (Jay Cross) came in third.

The clocking lowered the gelding standard of 1:50 3/5 set by Odds On Osiris in 2019 and was also faster than the Breeders Crown 2-Year-Old Colt Pace final dead-heat last year between Perfect Sting and Summa Cum Laude.

A Tellitlikeitis-Driven By Destiny (Fox Valley Gallant) gelding, Fulfullnmydestiny is a homebred for Brett Boyd Racing Inc. Fulfullnmydestiny has two wins and two second from five tries, has earned $73,940, and paid $2.60 to win.

24-1 shot Iwannabewithyou (De Long), who was eighth and last at three-quarters but charged home with a 26 1/5 final panel, was placed the winner of the next $47,500 division after unofficial winner JK Victory (Peter Wrenn) was moved back to fourth for ducking in and causing inteference in mid-stretch to Topville Somrocket (Brandon Bates). Bowie Rocks (Ricky Macomber Jr.) was third-placed-second, and Topville Somrocket was elevated from fourth to third.

Dylan Davis trains Iwannabewithyou, a gelded son of Luck Be Withyou-Bo Tox Hanover (Dragon Again), for owner John Schmucker. Bred by Black Creek Farm and Hickory Hollow Stables, Iwannabewithyou was purchased for $8,000 at last year's Hoosier Classic Yearling Sale. He has a record of 2-0-0 from three trips behind the gate, has pocketed $31.00, and returned $50.00 to win.

The last $47,000 section saw Big Law (Sam Widger) go to the lead in a 27 2/5 opening quarter, but he would give way to sit in the two-hole behind 1-5 favorite Ponda Warrior (Bates) beyond that marker. Ponda Warrior maintained command through a 55 second half and a 1:23 2/5 three-quarters, but in the stretch he was overtaken by Big Law in the passing lane. Big Law then dug in and was able to hold off a charging Incredible Badger (De Long) to get the victory by a quarter of a length in 1:51 4/5. Dalby Hanover (Joey Putnam) was placed up to third after being bothered in the stretch by The Longest Yard (Mike Oosting).

Big Law, another Luck Be Withyou gelding, is co-owned by trainer Randy Hatton in partnership with breeder Oldfield Farm Inc. Big Law, who is out of the Fox Valley Barzgar mare Miss Lucy O, has won half of his six starts, pushed his bankroll to $57,545, and paid $21.20 to win as a 9-1 offering.
