First sub-1:50 credit for Fear The Dragon

Fear The Dragon, the 2017 North America Cup and Adios Stake winner and whose frozen semen is available in Australia from Yirribee Pacing Stud, was credited with his first sub 1:50 performer when the three-year-old Pearl Snaps won a division of the Joe Adamsky at Scioto Downs, Ohio on July 7 in 1:49.8.

The gelding has won seven of his nine starts this season.
