An incredible last day at @playsandys! I had to grab a pic with @samanthagperry @ToddTTV & @TVsMichaelJoyce before taking back off to Iowa!

Thank you for all the kind messages and to the Sandy Ridge staff for trusting me in being your track announcer!

Mary was G1. She was Ladie's Secret, Azeri, Monique Rene, Halo America, and so much more. She was an old school class act. May her sweetness and sincerity be remembered and emulated by all. Such a warm heart and kind soul. Thank you Mary. Your difference was felt. @DRFLivingston

Kelly is Fon Rockstar!!! Just watch her hustle daily to and from the winners circle - and well beyond. Stunning Tangerine!

[Chris Kotulak @chriskotulak]

Tangerine! Just like the song lyrics... senoritas stare and caballeros sigh.
This is Kelly who orchesrates Fonner group sales. She always knows how to embrace and enhance the celebration. @FonnerRacing

The sun is setting on Fon 2026. Hope to see everyone tomorrow, Kentucky Derby Day for our final day of racing this year. And a mandatory payout in the Jerry's Sheetmetal Heating & Cooling P5. @FonnerRacing

[Chris Kotulak @chriskotulak]

This Friday, participate in the Fon Shootout after the races. Pay $50 per-shot and shoot from the finish line. The closest to the 1/16th pole (110 yards away) splits the total pot. Last year $900 went to the winner (TJ Gnuse) and $900 to local Veterans Relief Fund. @FonnerRacing

The final day of Fon 2026 is Kentucky Derby Day...
