Hoosier: Agent Q becomes harness racing's newest millionaire

Agent Q, who was fourth at the wagering choice in last week's Breeders Crown for 3-year-old pacing fillies, rebounded with a 1:51 1/5 victory in the $125,000 U.S.S. Indianapolis Memorial on Saturday night at Hoosier Park.

Driven by David Miller, Agent Q landed in the pocket behind Idyllic Beach (Mark MacDonald), who chopped out panels of 26 3/5, 55 3/5, and 1:24 with Bettor's Up (Doug McNair) challenging from first-over as they turned into the lane.

Idyllic Beach was able to fend off Bettor's Up's bid, but Agent Q waited patiently for the passing lane, then poured through to defeat Idyllic Beach by half a length. Rockin Serena (Peter Wrenn) got up for third over Bettor's Up, with Pittstop Danika (Matt Kakaley) back in fifth.

"It was disappointing (finishing fourth in the Breeders Crown) since you don't get too many opportunities like that, but she came back tonight and was good," said trainer Aaron Lambert. That put her over $1 million, and that was our main goal now."

Lambert added that Agent Q has the Matron at Dover Downs left on her docket for 2017.

The victorious filly by Western Terror is owned by Martin Scharf, Rochetti Cassar Racing, and Robert Muscara. Agent Q made her 12th winner's circle appearance in her career, and she has now put away $1,046,270 in her life. She paid $4.00 to win as the even-money favorite.
