Rollin Rosie and Ross roll in $134,000 stakes action

ANDERSON, Ind.—August 18, 2022— Rollin Rosie (JK Endofanera—Rock N Roll Baby) made her Indiana Sires Stakes debut a winning one as she captured the lone $134,000 Indiana Sires Stakes division for two-year-old pacing fillies on the harness racing card at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Thursday, August 18.

With driver Jordan Ross in the bike, Rollin Rosie stopped the timer in 1:51.3 to establish a new lifetime best and give driver Jordan Ross the biggest win of his young driving career.

Leaving from post six in the field of ten, Ross sent Rollie Rosie away from the gate for position but would yield the lead to Polks Image and Peter Wrenn through the opening quarter in :26.4. Rollin Rosie was content with a pocket trip and when the field reached the second station in :55, Trace Tetrick had his undefeated filly, JKs Lucky Lou, on the front.

Turning for home, JKs Lucky Lou was still calling the shots but Beauty N Grace and Atlee Bender were applying pressure from first-over. With the top pair battling it out, Ross was able to find late racing room and Rollin Rosie responded with a :27.3 final quarter to track down JKs Lucky Lou and Beauty N Grace. Rollin Rosie finished three lengths in front of Beauty N Grace while Jks Lucky Lou held on for third. Rollin Rosie returned $17.00 to her backers at the betting window for the slight upset.

ROLLIN ROSIE REPLAY

Trained by Tyler George, Rollin Rosie remains undefeated in three starts this season, and is owned in partnership by Scp Stables, Tyler George and Gregory Samples. With the victory, Rollin Rosie pushed her lifetime bankroll to $76,500.

“I didn’t give Jordan any instructions before the race,” George said after the victory. “I told him that she is a nice filly but don’t get her too excited and do whatever you think is best. He did a nice job with her and she raced great.”

The $134,000 event marked the biggest purse win of Ross’s young driving career. Ross is currently among the top 15 drivers at Harrah’s Hoosier Park in 2022 with 25 wins on the season.

Indiana Sires Stakes action will return to Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Friday, August 19 with two $68,000 divisions for two-year-old pacing colts and geldings. The evening’s 14-race card also features a $22,000 Open Pace. For more information the upcoming live racing and entertainment schedule, click here.
