Darke County Fair
Kaptain Kosmo
treats Wulber family to a win
By Elaine Bailey
Standing at turn four at the 2012 Darke County Fair racetrack, Aubrey
Wulber and her family cheer for Kaptain Kosmo. Although Kaptain
Kosmo is owned by her grandfather Ronald Wulber, Aubrey considers the
four-year-old standard-bred trotter hers, as they are both the same age
and have grown up together.
This race finished with a first place win for “her” horse.
Following pictures in the winner’s circle, Kaptain Kosmo was led to the
horse barn for a blood test, a cool down, and a rest in stall number
thirteen, hardly an unlucky number for the day.
Aubrey’s grandfather lives in Versailles. He began racing horses
in the early 70s. He has raced horses for the last ten years
following a nine-year hiatus. Wulber enjoys breaking yearlings
and training two-year-olds. He purchased Kaptain Kosmo at the
Delaware Blooded Horse Sale as a yearling.
Although Wulber looks forward to giving Kaptain Kosmo and Aubrey
another chance in the winner’s circle, Kaptain Kosmo is getting close
to retiring. At that time, he will pull a buggy for an Amish
family.
