ANDERSON, Ind.—August 26, 2023— The Hoosier state’s top three-year-old harness racing pacing fillies were in action at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Saturday, August 26 with two $51,000 divisions of Indiana Sires Stakes action highlighting the evening’s 14-race card. It was trainer Tyler George who teamed up with driver Trace Tetrick to sweep both divisions and deliver as the heavy betting favorite each time.
In the opening division, Tell’s On A Roll (Tellitlikeitis—Have Rock Willroll) used a sharp :26.1 closing quarter to track down the pace-setting Walkin On Sunshine and driver Jay Cross just before the wire to get the victory. Stopping the timer in 1:50.3, Tell’s On A Roll recorded her third seasonal victory and established a new lifetime best in the process.
Walkin On Sunshine left alertly from post three to grab the early lead through the opening quarter in :27.1 while Tell’s On A Roll settled along the rail in fifth. Walkin On Sunshine dictated middle fractions of :55.3 and 1:23.2 and braced for the cavalry charge to the wire. Turning for home, Tetrick tipped Tell’s On A Roll off tiring cover and she dug in gamely late in the lane to get the victory.
The filly is owned in partnership by Engel Stb of Ill LLC, L.A.Willinger and T.G. Stable LLC. Tellsonaroll has now won five of 18 lifetime starts and bankrolled $138,066 in lifetime purse earnings.
TELL’S ON A ROLL REPLAY
In the second division, Rollin Rosie (JK Endofanera—Rock N Roll Baby) employed a gate to wire strategy to win by nearly two lengths in 1:50.2. With regular pilot Trace Tetrick in the bike, Rollie Rosie clicked off fractions of :26.3, :55.2 and 1:23.3 and when she turned for home, she was on top with a four-length lead. Queen’s Reign and Peter Wrenn staged an incredible late closing rally to get up for second while Shadow Rage and Jared Seekman finished third. Rollin Rosie returned $2.80 to her backers at the betting windows.
Rollin Rosie has now won four of five this season and 10 of 12 lifetime. The filly has now earned $303,770 in lifetime purse earnings for owners Scp Stable Inc., Scott Tyler George and Gregory Samples.
ROLLIN ROSIE REPLAY
The victory was also one of six victories on the evening for Harrah’s Hoosier Park’s leading driver Trace Tetrick. Tetrick is en route to his tenth straight and 12th leading driving title at Harrah’s Hoosier Park as he leads the standings with 224 wins and is currently 68 wins ahead of driver John DeLong.
