Harrah's Hoosier Park: All Jk, Teelatini repeat in Indiana Sires Stakes

Two-year-old pacing fillies were the featured group at Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Wednesday, July 26 as the evening's 14-race card was highlighted by two divisions of Indiana Sires Stakes.

All Jk and driver Trace Tetrick continued their winning ways as they scored their second straight stakes victory and remained undefeated in three starts overall. After scoring in a lifetime-best clocking of 1:51 3/5 last week, All Jk was a decisive winner again and lowered her mark to 1:51 2/5 in tonight's triumph.

Sent off as the 1-5 favorite, All Jk wasted no time and left from post five to grab the early lead through the opening panel in 27 4/5. Lets Go Endofaera and John DeLong grabbed the pocket seat while Flirtin Fanera and Ricky Macomber Jr. were next in line third. All Jk coasted through fractions of 56 and 1:24 1/5 before being joined on the outside by Jada Caroline and Atlee Bender. Jada Caroline was able to reach the leader at the top of the stretch, but All Jk found another gear late. Using a 27 1/5 closing panel, All Jk cruised to the wire three lengths in front of Flirtin Fanera, while Jada Caroline held on for third. All Jk returned $2.60 at the betting windows.

Owned by Coutnry Club Acres, J. Sbrocco, M. Leeman and T. Nichols, the daughter of JK Endofanera-Truth Above All has now earned $73,000 in her young career. All Jk is trained by Brian Brown and was bred by Victory Hill Farm.

In the second flight, Teelatini and DeLong followed suit and continued their winning ways, scoring in 1:53 3/5. With the win, Teelatini remained perfect through two rounds of Indiana Sires Stakes action.

Opting for a trip off-the-pace, Teelatini was unhurried from the gate and settled along the rail in fifth. LeWayne Miller had Sunny Money marching away from the gate to grab the early lead through the opening panel in 27 3/5 with KB's Summer Breeze and Jordan Ross in the pocket. McKira and Joey Putnam wanted their turn on the front and grabbed command just past the half in 27 2/5. Approaching the three-quarters in 1:26, Teelatini was on the attack first-over but got a little steppy and had to be steadied through the far turn. Once straight, Teelatini found a 27 4/5 final quarter and kicked home to get the win by three-parts of a length over Topville Ohsolucky and Marvin Luna. KB's Summer Breeze also rallied well late to round out the trifecta. Sent off as the heavy betting favorite, Teelatini returned $3.00 for the victory.

With the win, Teelatini has now won two of three lifetime starts while pushing her lifetime bankroll to $70,500 for owners William P. DeLong and William C. DeLong. The homebred daughter of Rockin Image-Nightcap is trained by Roger Welch.
