June Parker scores seventh consecutive win

Windsor, Maine …. June Parker (Millionaire Cam) continued her fairground rampage on Sunday (August 1), scoring her seventh consecutive win with a thrilling victory at the Windsor Fair.

The streak, which began with a pair of late July wins at First Tracks Cumberland, has become etched into the consciousness of the Pine Tree State punters as she has ventured out onto Maine’s famed fairground circuit, and includes a win at the Topsham Fair, a pair of wins at the Skowhegan State Fair, and now two top tallies at the Windsor Fair.

Regular pilot, Kevin Switzer, Jr, hustled his charge smartly off the car on Sunday, only to encounter a stern early challenge from Orrsterror (Drew Campbell) who challenged the streaking mare for early supremacy.

Strung to the quarter in a brisk :27.2, Switzer was able to engineer a calmer second panel split, reaching the half in a refreshing :57.4, despite being pestered by Vel Miss Taylor (McGwire Sowers) who had been parked to the outside since the get go.

Vel Miss Taylor continued to gamely press the pacesetter though, as she and June Parker matched strides through the paddock turn. Reaching the three-quarter pole in a well-contested 1:26.3, June Parker was finally able to shake her outside opponent, only to immediately face renewed pressure from the pocket-pulling Orrsterror.

Inching closer to the front-runner with each and every stride, Orrsterror made frightening progress toward the upset of the fan favorite, only to fall a mere 3/4-length short at the wire as the streaking June Parker refused to be headed.

June Parker, a five-year-old daughter of Millionaire Cam, owned and trained by Ryan Berry, has now amassed 22 career victories and took a new lifetime mark on Sunday, touring the Windsor oval in a dazzling 1:55.3.

The win was one of four on the program for Switzer who now boasts 22 top tallies earned over the first eight sessions of the Windsor meet. With one day of racing remaining, it is a mathematical impossibility that Switzer will be denied the 2025 Windsor driving championship; an honor that he will add to the driving titles already earned at Maine’s previous two fairs, Topsham and Skowhegan.

Windsor’s nine-day race meet concludes with a 12:30 pm performance on Labor Day Monday (September 1) which will feature twin $17,123 splits of Maine Sire Stakes action for two-year-old colts and the inaugural edition of the $10,000 T R Dillon Logging Open Trot.

For those not able to come to the track, wagering on the Windsor Fair will be available on most major wagering platforms including Hollywood Races at www.hollywoodraces.com as well as at all state of Maine off track betting parlors.

The video for Windsor’s races will be live-streamed on the Windsor Fair’s Facebook page under the “Featured” tab.
