The Larry King Stable swept all three of the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit (ISFC) divisions for three-year-old pacing colts and geldings Monday, July 20 at the Jay County Fairgrounds. Among the winners in that category was Vel See You Later, who continues to dominate amongst the three-year-olds this season.

 

Vel See You Later used his quick speed to get out of the gate and get on top for driver Clint Coy as they hustled out of post four and had full control of the field, who followed along in single file through the quarter in :30.3. Heading the half, Vel See You Later was able to back the pace down considerably, which moved Every Mile Beach and Kevin Detweiler to the outside from the back of the pack and that move flushed out Bullitt Ranger and Mike Peterson past the half in 1:03.1. Vel See You Later and Bullitt Ranger were locked in a fierce battle to the three-quarters in 1:30.4 before Vel See You Later took off and moved out to an open length advantage in the stretch. He eventually was a winner by four lengths in 2:00.0, a final quarter in :29.1. Bullitt Ranger finished second over Whiskey Neat and DeShawn Horton for third.

 

Vel See You Later is owned by King Racing Stable and Therl Hensley. The three-year-old son of Highalator was bred by Alvin Schwartz and is trained by Larry King. It was the seventh win on the ISFC this year for Vel See You Later, who leads the standings with 357 points. After going undefeated last year at two with six wins in six starts, the sophomore picked up a new lifetime mark earlier this year at Scioto Downs in 1:54.1. He is 14 for 20 lifetime.

 

Joining Vel See You Later for a win on the Monday card at Portland was Vel Big Shocker, who is ranked second on the list for three-year-old colt and gelding pacers on the ISFC. Guided by Doug Rideout, Vel Big Shocker got away in third before moving first over and challenging Automatic Andy and Clint Coy on the lead from the half on.

 

The two were still battling heading into the stretch before Vel Big Shocker got the edge over Automatic Andy for the win by one length in 1:57.4, a final quarter in :28.1. Brown Magic and Kevin Lambright finished third.

 

Vel Big Shocker is owned by Kin Racing Stable and trained by Larry King. Alvin Schwartz bred the Straight Shooting gelding, who now has four wins on this year’s ISFC. He has 295 points this season. He has 11 wins total with his career best time of 1:55.4 taken last year at Northfield as a two-year-old.

 

Vel Im Good rounded out King’s trifecta of winners in the sophomore pacing category with a gate to wire victory in 1:59.2. Charging Thunder and Mike Peterson moved up late in the race and joined Vel Im Good and Rideout at the wire for the win in a dead heat. Skyway Mr Midnight and Kevin Detweiler finished third.

 

Vel Im Good is owned by King Racing Stable and bred by Alvin Schwartz. It was his second win of the season on the ISFC and he remains in the top eight on the list of horses seeking a spot in the Governor’s Cup Championship at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
