Michael Dickinson at Fair Hill Point to Point

[Flatterer]

Fair Hill Point to Point was held Easter Sunday April 16 over a firm turf course.

Michael Dickinson sent out 2 runners in the 2 mile amateur turf flat race, Tale of Verve and Hirschbein.

All runners carried 165 pounds for 2 laps around the turf course. This was an unsanctioned race that will not show in the past performances or as a workout.

Tale of Verve was 2nd to American Pharoah in the 2015 sloppy Preakness and was previously trained by Dallas Stewart.

Tale of Verve won the race by a neck over Yellow Mountain (Jonathan Sheppard $30K claimer) with Hirschbein another length back in 3rd. The time for the 2 miles was 3:48:4/5. The runners had a strong finish, running the 2nd mile 10 seconds faster than the 1st mile – I know because I was the official timer of all the races.

Michael Dickinson was absolutely overjoyed with the result. I asked him what his plans are for Tale of Verve but he did not respond.

Tale of Verve and Hirschbein are going in my stable watch.
