Delaware,Ohio—There is no shortage of horses at the Delaware County Fair.  Twenty races, featuring five divisions of Ohio Breeders Championships, are scheduled for opening day, Sunday, September 14.  First post is 12-noon.

Fifteen two-year-old pacing fillies will race in two $30,263 divisions of the OBC Pace, the third leg of the Ohio Triple Crown.
