Inforthewin Went For Win at Henry County Fair

Findlay Filly Got First Victory in Napoleon After Five Thirds

Aug 23, 2009

Findlay's Inforthewin got first place cheers for the first time at the Henry County Fair in Napoleon on August 19. Her trainer, driver, and co-owner is H.D. Schoonover.

Getting to the winner's circle for the first time is always a major event in a racing Standardbred's life.

Inforthewin, a three-year-old trotting filly from Findlay, Ohio, flashed through three quarters of a mile in 1:36-3/5 in a Northwestern Ohio Colt Stakes race at the Henry County Fair in Napoleon, Ohio August 19 and continued to flow to a five-length advantage at the wire. It was her first win opposite fourteen starts.

In her stylish triumph, Inforthewin left behind her five third place finishes that had promised a better day to come. Her granddaddy's name, Nearly Perfect, seemed also to promise more. More finally came for Inforthewin of the Findlay stable of H.D. & Sandra Sue Schoonover and Sharon K. Wyant. H.D. Schoonover trains and drives the filly, who also has three seconds on her career slate.

Inforthewin, sired by Trainforthefuture--Golly Golly, by Nearly Perfect, won Race No. 6 on Wednesday's abbreviated program. Only six races were carried over from the Monday night scheduled card postponed by thunderstorms. Eight races from Tuesday evening's rainout were also run on Wednesday afternoon.
