Harrah's Hoosier Park: Tetrick, George clean up in Indiana Sires Stakes

The Hoosier State's top 3-year-old pacing fillies were in action at Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Saturday, August 26 with two $51,000 divisions of Indiana Sires Stakes action highlighting the evening's 14-race program. It was trainer Tyler George who teamed up with driver Trace Tetrick to sweep both events and delivered as the heavy betting favorite each time.

In the opening flight, Tell's On A Roll used a sharp 26 1/5 closing quarter to track down the pace-setting Walkin On Sunshine and driver Jay Cross just before the wire to get the victory. Stopping the timer in 1:50 3/5, Tell's On A Roll recorded her third seasonal victory and established new lifetime mark in the process.

Walkin On Sunshine left alertly from post three to grab the lead through the opening quarter in 27 1/5 while Tell's On A Roll settled along the rail in fifth. Walkin On Sunshine dictated middle fractions of 55 3/5 and 1:23 2/5 and braced for the cavalry charge to the wire. Turning for home, Tetrick tipped Tell's On A Roll off tiring cover, and she dug in gamely late in the lane to get the victory by three-quarters of a length.

The daughter of Tellitlikeitis-Have Rock Willroll is owned in partnership by Engel Stb of Ill LLC., Lou Willinger and T.G. Stable LLC. Tell's On A Roll has now won five of 18 lifetime starts and bankrolled $138,066 lifetime.

In the second grouping, Rollin Rosie won by nearly 2 1/4 lengths in 1:50 2/5. Rollin Rosie brushed from third to first past the 26 3/5 quarter, then clicked off fractions of 55 2/5 and 1:23 3/5. When she turned for home she was on top with a four length lead, expanded that to seven in mid-stretch and held sway over Queen’s Reign and Peter Wrenn, who staged an incredible late closing rally to get up for second. Shadow Rage and Jared Seekman finished third. Rollin Rosie returned $2.80 to her backers at the betting windows.

Rollin Rosie has now won four of five this season and 10 of 12 lifetime. The daughter of JK Endofanera-Rock N Roll Baby has now earned $303,770 for owners Scp Stable Inc., Scott Tyler George and Gregory Samples.

The victory was also one of six on the evening for Tetrick, Harrah's Hoosier Park's leading driver. Tetrick is en route to his tenth straight and 12th leading driving title overall at Harrah's Hoosier Park as he tops the standings with 224 triumphs and is currently 68 tallies ahead of driver John DeLong.
