All About Cowboys was all about business on Sunday (Feb. 17) afternoon at Miami Valley Raceway, winning the $22,500 Open I Trot in a front-stepping 1:55 effort. The six-year-old son of Swan For All has now put together a streak of four weeks with two wins and two place finishes in the weekly top trot.

Driver Jason Brewer guided the winner through a well-rated mile that included checking in at the early stations in :27.3, :56.4 and 1:25.4. Sent off at 3-1, All About Cowboys held off a furious late rally by Pine Dream to notch the narrow victory. Monopoly Blue Chip cashed third while Another Breath and Trotting Grace picked up the remaining paychecks.

Ken Rucker trains All About Cowboys for owners Green Acres LLC and Mike Klimas. The victory was his 15th in 88 career starts and raised his lifetime earnings to $186,000.

Mystical Power, moving up from the $20,000 claiming level, garnered honours in the $20,000 Open II Trot. The six-year-old Yankee Glide mare bested Impressive Chief and Primed N Powerful in 1:55.4. It was the winner’s tenth win overall and fourth in her last five starts, but the first in open company. Clarence Foulk conditions Mystical Power for L & L Stables.

Racing resumes Monday afternoon (Feb. 18) at 2:05 p.m. at Miami Valley. The $15,000 Survival Series championship leg for $5,000 claiming mares headlines the card, slated as Race 10 on the program.
