Pacing fillies battle in ISS

Anderson, Ind.—June 15, 2024— Three-year-old pacing fillies brought the week of Indiana Sire Stakes harness racing action to a close at Harrah’s Hoosier Park with two divisions of round two highlighting the 12-race Saturday (June 15) card. Making the most of a lighting fast Hoosier Park oval, Let’s Go Endofaera (JK Endofanera-Let’s Go Higher) and Jada Caroline (Tellitlikeitis-Ideal Plan) each secured victories in lifetime best efforts.

Let’s Go Endofaera left from post two as the 2-5 favorite in the first of two $48,500 splits, driver John De Long secured the pocket position early as All JK (Trace Tetrick) protected the rail position and led to the first quarter in :27.2. The order of the field of six remained unchanged on the backstretch, with All JK taking the field to the half in :55.1. Entering the final turn with Defining Moment (Marvin Luna) looking to move from third, De Long edged the bettor’s choice off of the rail as All JK took the field to three quarters in 1:23.2.

Let’s Go Endofaera quickly came to call spinning for home, pulling within a half-length of All JK as the fillies hit the top of the stretch. All JK refused to go quietly in the lane, but Lets Go Endofaera surged home with a :26.2 final quarter to grab the victory by three parts of a length on the line in 1:50.1.

Ponda Superb (Mike Oosting) rallied for the third spot at big odds.
