Hoosier: Ice Attraction impressive in Crossroads of America victory

Kentucky Filly Futurity winner Ice Attraction, who was second in the Breeders Crown, rolled to a 1:53 3/5 victory from first-over in the $140,000 Crossroads of America for sophomore trotting fillies on Saturday night at Hoosier Park.

On A Sunny Day (Daniel Dube) would be the first leader, taking the field to the opening quarter in 27 seconds, but Thats All Moni (Mark MacDonald) advanced up on her outside, and she would take the lead in the backstretch. Thats All Moni would go on to reach the half in 55 2/5, with Ice Attraction (Trace Tetrick) moving into the first-over position from fourth.

Thats All Moni clung to a narrow lead over Ice Attraction to the 1:24 2/5 three-quarters, but Ice Attraction would take command as the fillies raced into the stretch, and Ice Attraction would go on to win by 2 1/4 lengths over Overdraft Volo (Andy Miller), who had a trip in the three-hole throughout. Thats All Moni stayed on for third, followed by Satin Dancer (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.) and Annas Lucky Star (Kyle Wilfong).
