Indiana-sired two-year-old pacing fillies were the featured attraction at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Wednesday, July 26 as the evening’s 14-race card was highlighted by two $68,000 divisions of Indiana Sires Stakes.

All JK (pictured above) continued her winning ways in the second round of Indiana Sires Stakes as she scored her second straight stakes victory and remained undefeated in three career starts. After scoring in a new lifetime best of 1:51.3 last week, All JK was a decisive winner once again and lowered her lifetime best to 1:51.2.

Sent off as the 1-5 favourite in rein to Trace Tetrick, All JK wasted no time and left from post five to take the early lead through the opening panel in :27.4. Lets Go Endofanera and John DeLong secured the pocket seat while Flirtin Fanera and Ricky Macomber Jr. were next in line third. All JK coasted through fractions of :56 and 1:24.1 before being joined on the outside by Jada Caroline and Atlee Bender. Jada Caroline was able to reach the leader at the top of the stretch but All JK found another gear late. Using a :27.1 closing panel, All JK cruised to the wire three lengths in front of Flirtin Fanera while Jada Caroline held on for third.

As the heavy favourite, All Jk returned $2.60 at the betting windows.

Owned by Country Club Acres, Joe Sbrocco, Milton Leeman and Tonya Nichols, the daughter of JK Endofanera-Truth Above All has now earned $73,000 in lifetime purses in her young career. All JK is trained by Brian Brown. She was bred by Victory Hill Farm. 

In the second division, Teelatini followed suit and continued her winning ways, scoring in 1:53.4. With the win, Teelatini remains undefeated through two rounds of Indiana Sires Stakes action.

Opting for a trip off the pace, driver John DeLong was unhurried from the gate and settled Teelatini along the pylons in fifth. LeWayne Miller had Sunny Money marching away from the gate to take the early lead through the opening panel in :27.3 with KBs Summer Breeze and Jordan Ross in the pocket. McKira and Joey Putnam wanted their turn on the front and took command just past the half in :57.2. Approaching the three-quarters in 1:26, Teelatini went on the attack first-over but got a little steppy and had to be steadied through the far turn. Once straight, Teelatini found a :27.4 final quarter and kicked home to get the win by three-parts of a length over Topville Ohsolucky and Marvin Luna. KBs Summer Breeze also rallied well late to round out the trifecta.

Sent off as the heavy betting favourite, Teelatini returned $3 for the victory.

Teelatini has now won two of three lifetime starts while pushing her lifetime bankroll to $70,500 for owners William P. DeLong and William C. DeLong. The homebred daughter of Rockin Image-Nightcap is trained by Roger Welch.
