Legendary Horse Foiled Again to Celebrate 20th Birthday at Shenandoah Downs
The legendary harness horse Foiled Again will celebrate his 20th birthday this Saturday, May 11, at Shenandoah Downs. The festivities will include a “Happy Birthday” singalong, free cake and cupcakes, and a Meet & Greet with the beloved equine star, where fans can snap photos with him.
The son of Dragon Again retired six years ago after a stellar career, earning over $7.6 million — more than any other standardbred horse. His legacy includes 109 victories and 225 top-three finishes out of 331 starts, with his 104th win occurring at Shenandoah Downs on September 29, 2018.
Foiled Again has made two post-retirement appearances at Shenandoah Downs, including a lap around the half-mile track with Hall of Fame driver John Campbell in 2019. Fans can also meet Montrell Teague, the driver who piloted Foiled Again to his 105th victory. Teague will make his debut appearance at Shenandoah Downs in a promotional role.
Shenandoah Downs, located at I-81, Exit 283 between Winchester and Harrisonburg, is steeped in a 106-year harness racing tradition at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds. Visit shenandoahdowns.com for more event details.
