ANDERSON, Ind.—August 30, 2022— It was a night ruled by upsets at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Wednesday, August 30 as the post-time favorite faltered in ten of the evening’s 14 races. Two $67,000 divisions of Indiana Sires Stakes for the two-year-old trotting colts and geldings were featured on the evening’s harness racing card and both followed suit with upset winners.
The first division saw a 34-1 upset winner in the winner’s circle as Matt Krueger steered Help Page (Helpisontheway) to a 1:56.1 victory for trainer Roger Welch. The colt utilized a ground-saving trip to get up the inside passing lane and score the victory over the heavily favored Texsong Soprano and John DeLong by a head. It was a maiden breaking victory for Help Page who returned a hefty $70.40 at the betting windows.
HELP PAGE REPLAY
With the victory, Help Page pushed his lifetime bankroll to $64,075. He is owned by Harmony Oaks Racing Stable, J. Crawford IV, and R. Preziotti.
In the second division, Brookview Darius (Swan For All) and driver Atlee Bender utilized similar ground-saving tactics to get up in the final strides of the mile and score in 1:57.1. Sent off at odds of 12-1, Brookview Darius found late racing room up the inside to track down Talent Scout and Trace Tetrick steps before the wire.
After opting for a trip off the pace, the heavily favored Jailhouse Dance and Michael Oosting rallied well late but were forced to settle for third. Slightly dismissed at the betting windows, Brookview Darius returned $26.80 to his backers.
BROOKVIEW DARIUS REPLAY
Trained by Erv Miller, Brookview Darius recorded his third win from seven seasonal starts. The 1:57.1 final time equaled his career best. Brookview Darius has now earned $65,188 in his young career and is owned in partnership by Kales Co., Engel Stable of IL, and L. Willinger.
