TWO SEVEN O SCORES IN DADE PARK DASH FOR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE WIN

HENDERSON, Ky. (Saturday, July 4, 2026) – Aaron Haberman, Victoria Haberman and First Rodeo Racing’s Two Seven O rallied from off the pace to win Saturday’s $174,125 Dade Park Dash at Ellis Park Racing & Gaming for his fifth consecutive victory.

Ridden by Francisco Arrieta for trainer David Fawkes, Two Seven O covered 5 ½ furlongs over a firm turf course in 1:01.03.

 

Capovivo sprinted to the early lead and posted sizzling fractions of :21.18 and :43.82 while Two Seven O settled about seven lengths off the early pace. Arrieta angled his mount into contention entering the stretch, where Two Seven O surged to the front and held off a late rally from Trouble Calling to win by two lengths.

“David Fawkes and his team have done a great job with this horse,” Arrieta said. “Now he’s won five in a row. He really likes the grass, and he showed up again today.”

It was another two lengths back to Reb Five who was followed by Capovivo, Squad Goals, Tiz Mary’s Comet and Spun D M C.

Bred in Kentucky by John D. Stuart and Peter C. Bance, Two Seven O is a 3-year-old gelding by Dialed In out of Boreale, by Makfi (GB).

Racing returns to Ellis Park on Sunday and Monday. First post each day is 11:50 a.m. CT.
