Harrah's Hoosier Park: Two-year-old pacing fillies compete in Indiana Sires Stakes

Indiana Sires Stakes action continued at Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Thursday, September 1 with two divisions for the 2-year-old pacing fillies featured on the evening’s 14-race card. The fillies were squaring off in the fourth round of their six-round series.

After posting an impressive debut in Indiana Sires Stakes action last week, Rollin Rosie was back in the spotlight after grabbing another eye-catching victory. With driver Jordan Ross in the bike in her $69,000 split, Rollin Rosie stopped the timer in 1:51 to establish a new lifetime mark and remain undefeated in four starts this season.

Leaving from post six, Rollin Rosie wasted no time and went straight to the front to dictate early fractions of 27 and 55. Reaching the three-quarters in 1:24, Rollin Rosie was joined on the outside by Jks Lucky Lou and Trace Tetrick, and the top pair paced away from the rest of the field. Using a 27 second final quarter, Rollin Rosie was able to pull away from Jks Lucky Lou and Plan To Tell and Jimmy Whittemore to get the win by nearly five lengths. Sent off as the 3-5 favorite, Rollin Rosie returned $3.20 to her backers at the betting windows.

Trained and co-owned by Tyler George, the daughter of JK Endofanera-Rock N Roll Baby is also owned in partnership by Scp Stables and Gregory Samples. With the victory, Rollin Rosie pushed her lifetime bankroll to $111,000.

In the first $68,500 flight, Queen's Reign and Mike Oosting pulled the 9-1 upset to score in 1:53. After leaving alertly to get position, Oosting found late racing room up the inside, and Queen's Reign used a 27 second final quarter and dug in gamely to track down the post-time favorite Beauty N Grace and Atlee Bender to get the win by a head. Fortunada and John DeLong rounded out the trifecta. Queen's Reign returned $21.00 at the betting windows for the win. It was a maiden-breaking victory for the Ernie Gaskin trainee.
