Five lengths ahead & the weekend's got something wild brewing 🤫
Good morning, Delaware County. Five lengths. That's how dominant Night Surfer was at the Ohio Breeders Championship on Monday — a colt who clearly didn't appreciate his only career blemish and came back swinging with a 1:53 4/5 clocking to claim the $137,700 title. Consider the record officially corrected. On the national front, Honda is betting $2.5 billion on Ohio soil for a new hybrid plant, the U.S. and China quietly extended their trade truce another two months, and Meta's new AI agent has investors buzzing.
Closer to home, the fairgrounds energy carries into the week — Family, Preschool, and Toddler Storytime all hit local libraries Wednesday, September 24, and fresh local listings are waiting inside if you're eyeing a move to one of Ohio's favorite counties.

Delaware County Fair: Night Surfer romps in Ohio Breeders Championship
🏇 Night Surfer bounced back in dominant fashion at the Delaware County Fair. The 2-year-old colt, driven by Dexter Dunn, won the $137,700 Ohio Breeders Championship on Sep. 23 by five lengths in a time of 1:53 4/5. The victory was a sharp rebound after Night Surfer's only career loss in the $300,000 Ohio Sire Stakes final on Sep. 12. Don'ttruckwithme finished second despite drawing the challenging outside post eight, while First Grade rallied from sixth place to claim third. Trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. conditions the winner for a partnership of Let It Ride Stable, Morrison Racing Stable, S. Held, and Alberg Racing. Read more
