On a night where upsets were aplenty, Sabonis rewarded the bettor's faith in him and delivered at 1-9 to extend his win streak to nine in the penultimate leg of Indiana Sires Stakes for 3-year-old pacing colts and geldings on Friday (Aug. 23) at Harrah's Hoosier Park. Stat That pulled a 29-1 shocker in the first division for that group, while trainer Henry Graber Jr. swept both splits of the Indiana Sires Stakes for 2-year-old trotting fillies that co-headlined the 13-race card. Making his first start since his victory in the $300,000 Milstein Memorial on Aug. 10, Sabonis was sent away from post six in the $50,000 Indiana Sires Stakes event with regular pilot Joey Putnam in the bike. Putnam settled Sabonis into fifth off of the gate while Lovers Trouble (driven by Pete Wrenn) rocketed to the front of the field of seven through a wicked first quarter of 25 4/5. M-M's Bud (Jay Cross) moved to the lead from second on the backstretch before he led to the halfway point in 54 3/5 while Sabonis began his first-over charge from fifth. Sabonis wheeled into third on the final turn, 1 1/2 lengths back of M-M's Bud, who led to three-quarters in 1:22 4/5. Sabonis surged alongside M-M's Bud at the top of the stretch and grabbed a short lead midway through the lane, but M-M's Bud was not going to go away quietly. The two slugged it out for the length of the lane before Sabonis edged in front at the edge of the toteboard on his way to the win by three-quarters of a length over M-M's Bud in 1:49 4/5. Trained by Aaron Stutzman, Sabonis has won 12 of 13 in his 3-year-old campaign, which has seen him bank $343,250. Bred by Karl Dean Miller, the son of Tellitlikeitis-Gypsy Bellvue is owned by Pat Miller, and is yet to miss the board in his 15 start career, having won 13 of his lifetime outings. Earlier on the card, Stat That picked a good time to pick up the first win of his 3-year-old campaign, pulling a 29-1 shocker in the $50,000 first clash for pacing colts and geldings. Driver LeWayne Miller put Stat That in the pocket from post two while Premier Romeo (Kyle Wilfong) grabbed the lead through a first quarter of 26 4/5. Premier Romeo had things his way to the half in 55 1/5 before he led to three-quarters in 1:23. Stat That popped the pocket turning for home, and rallied with a 27 second last quarter to cross the wire first by 1 1/4 lengths over a hard-charging Dale Yeah (Marvin Luna) in a career-best 1:50 1/5. Trained by Susan Miller for owner Derek Lehman, the victory was the first through 12 starts on the year and second of the career for Stat That. With the win, the son of Check Six-Rockin Songbird has earned $159,969 for his career. ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter Classical Jane teamed up with driver Trace Tetrick to break her maiden in the $66,500 first showdown for the rookie trotting fillies, upsetting at 22-1 and upending her heavily-favored stablemate Better Tak'em (Jordan Ross). Better Tak'em took command early through a quarter of 28 1/5 while Classical Jane grabbed the pocket in the spread-out field of six. Better Tak'em led alone to the half in 57 1/5 prior to reaching three-quarters in 1:26 2/5, 4 1/2 lengths clear of her stablemate. However, Better Tak'em began to tire late in the lane, allowing Classical Jane to pick up the pieces late and snag the victory by a quarter-length in 1:55 4/5. Owned by Eleven Star Stable, Frank Baldachino, Beasty LLC. and Backroad Stable, the daughter of Swan For All-Class Angel has earned $39,905 with her first win in six outings. The $66,000 second section held much more to form with Miracle Maven cruising at 1-9 in front-end fashion with driver John De Long. De Long protected rail position off of the gate, guiding the field of five to the opening quarter in 29 3/5. The quintet remained in straight alignment to the half in 58 3/5 before Miracle Maven led to three-quarters unchallenged in 1:28 2/5. Sprinting home in 27 4/5, Miracle Maven coasted to a two length win over Swan Jewel (Trace Tetrick) and stopped the clock in 1:56 1/5. The daughter of Don't Let'em-Bad Babysitter is yet to miss the board in six career outings, winning four of them for owners Eleven Star Stables, Frank Baldachino, Beasty LLC., and Hillside Stables while banking $100,395. The win was one of three on the card for driver John De Long, which included a 1:49 4/5 victory for Little Rocket Man in the $21,000 Open Pace. Overcoming post nine and a six-week layoff, Little Rocket Man soared up the passing lane in 26 2/5 from the pocket to score easily by two lengths over Watching Our Coin N (Ricky Macomber Jr). Trained by Ken Rucker, Little Rocket Man has won eight of 11 on the year, including the $200,000 Battle Of Lake Erie in June. The win was the 62nd in the career for the 8-year-old lifetime earner of $1.3 million for owners Russ Beeman and Jack Freeman. The week of racing concludes on Saturday (Aug. 24) with a 12-race card that includes a pair of Indiana Sires Stakes races for 2-year-old trotting colts and geldings.
