M Ms Dream Continues Perfect Sire Stakes Season
M Ms Dream turned in another dominant performance in the first of two $47,000 Indiana Sires Stakes divisions for three-year-old trotting fillies at Harrah’s Hoosier Park on Wednesday, July 20 to go a perfect four-for four this season. Jusmakinyalook and Jordan Ross turned in an impressive performance of their own to capture the second division by a length in 1:53.4.
Leaving from post four, M Ms Dream went straight to the front and went uncontested through splits of :27.3, :57.2 and 1:26.3. Stopping the timer in 1:53.1, M Ms Dream finished nearly three lengths in front of the pocket-sitting Luv Lorelei and Robert Taylor while Bluebird Dove, with Peter Wrenn, trotted evenly for third.
Using a :26.3 closing kick, M Ms Dream recorded her fourth straight victory and remains undefeated in stakes action this season for trainer Henry Graber Jr. She equalled her lifetime best mark.
As the heavy betting favourite, M Ms Dream returned $2.60 to her backers at the betting windows.

In the second division, Jusmakinyalook converted a pocket trip into a 1:53.4 score with Ross in the bike. Using a :27 final panel, Jusmakinyalook was able to track down the post time favourite Call Me Dani and Trace Tetrick to get the win by a length.
Trained by Robert Taylor and owned by Devon Miller, the daughter of Pinetucky-Beldame Hanover recorded her third win of the season from nine starts. Jusmakinyalook has now amassed $158,905 in lifetime purse earnings. She was bred by John R. Stoll.
