First stop Wednesday morning – the hardware store to get some lightbulbs for Pompano Park's tote board. Dave Ingraham is buying!

Three of Ingraham's charges lit up the Pompano tote board and nighttime sky on Tuesday, each scoring at better than 40-1 odds, with one, Wesleys Fortune, emerging a winner at better than 60-1.

Ingraham's memorable night began in the third race when Rocinante came from dead last around the final turn to score in 1:55.

Trained by Randy Bickmore for owner Richard Knight, the son of Rocknroll Hanover, now eight, scored his initial win of the year and 24th lifetime to send his lifetime bounty to $198,377 and reward his faithful with a mutuel of $86.40 as the longest proposition in the field of seven – though he was coming off a race where he had a second tier post and enjoying a class drop this time around.

Ingraham's second bomb came with Bob Dutilly's Tug River Dylan in a conditioned-optional claiming trot.

Making his first start of the new year, Ingraham laid off a hot early pace and then sent his charge rocking home to nail a photo finish victory in 1:57.2 at odds almost identical to his first winner.

Paying $86.20, Tug River Dylan won for the 25th time in his career to send his lifetime earnings to $138,081.

Ingraham completed his ‘hat trick’ with Dorothy Zarza's Wesleys Fortune. The 10-year-old following live cover the final three eighths of the mile to squeak by late at odds of 64-1. He paid $130.80 to win and keyed a $9,052 trifecta and a 20-cent superfecta payoff of $3,599.26.

In other Pompano action on Tuesday night, the second leg of the ‘Better Late Than Never’ pace for conditioned claimers was held with Henry Blue Chip and Indigo Artist the winners in their respective divisions.

Maryann Plano's Henry Blue Chip, a four-year-old son of Art Major driven by Rick Plano, held on gamely to score a narrow decision over the late-surging Directly Related and driver Dan Clements in 1:55.4.for his second victory of the year from four starts.

Smithers finished third for Jason Dillander while Total Proof and Justice My Way also picked up minor awards.

Indigo Artist, with Ed Hensley handling the lines, repeated his win of a week ago, stopping the clock in 1:54.4 for a decision measuring two and a quarter lengths over Son Day, driven by Kevin Wallis. New Rock To Roll and John MacDonald teamed up for show honours with Big Better Best and Tough Issue getting the minors.

In a post race interview, Hensley said, "he (Indigo Artist) seemed like he wanted to race tonight so I made – rather he made – that quarter move and was strong right to the wire.”

Indigo Artist. a six-year-old son of Arturo, is trained by Rod Grady for owner Percy Jones.

The second leg of the ‘Fair Start’ late closer went to Tom Petri's Nomad, driven by Rick Plano. Making his first start for the new owner, Plano sent the four-year-old son of Swan For All on a quarter move to the top and never looked back, scoring the 1:57.4 victory over Railee Kwik, driven by Bruce Ranger. Gray N Cloudy was third for Dave Ingraham with Luvnuisfun fourth. Ilari finished fifth.

Finally, the Super Hi-5 again had several winners with the carryover to Wednesday's card at $81,704.54.

First-race post time for the midweek card is 7:30 p.m.
