All About Cowboys dominated the $25,000 Open I Trot at Miami Valley Raceway on Sunday afternoon (March 17), establishing a lifetime mark in the process.
The six-year-old Ken Rucker trainee grabbed the front during a :27.1 first quarter, then proceeded to trip the subsequent timing beams in :56.1 and 1:25.2 before scooting home in :28.1 to record a 1:53.3 victory. The gelded son of Swan For All towed pocket sitter Primed N Powerful through the finish line in second with Andy Ray rallying from fifth to finish third.

The win was the 16th in 91 starts for All About Cowboys, who blew past the $200,000 earnings plateau with the win. Green Acres LLC and Mike Klimas of Illinois own the ultra-consistent winner who has banked $58,180 in eight 2019 starts at Miami Valley. Jason Brewer sat in the bike.
Mugshot Man took the $20,000 Open II Trot by open lengths over Pass The Vape and Impressive Chief in 1:54.4. It was just the second win in the last two seasons for the six-year-old son of Jailhouse Jesse, but was the quickest of his ten victories. Fred Morgan Jr. trains Mugshot Man for owner John Holman.
The Red Owens Memorial late-closer for green fillies and mares got underway on Sunday as well. Heavily-favoured Bens Jenna, driven by Trace Tetrick, lived up to the public’s expectations as the Mach Three-sired sophomore won for the third time in just six starts in 1:56.3. Delight Kate and Respect were next best in a tightly-bunched field at the finish. Tyler George conditions the winner for David Kryway and the Ontario LTD stable.
