Unstoppable Teelatini wins fourth straight in $133,000 ISS

ANDERSON, Ind.—August 17, 2023—Teelatini (Rockin Image—Nightcap) continued her winning ways at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino after she captured the featured harness racing event of the evening, the $133,000 Indiana Sires Stakes for two-year-old pacing fillies, on Thursday, August 17.

Stopping the timer in 1:51.1, Teelatini recorded her fourth straight stakes win and established a new lifetime best with driver Peter Wrenn in the bike.

Leaving from post two, Wrenn sent Teelatini away from the gate just enough to grab a pocket seat behind the heavily favored All Jk and Trace Tetrick. All Jk, who was undefeated in three starts, dictated fractions of :26.2 and :54.2 while the rest of the field sorted out early positions. McKira and Joey Putnam were unable to find a spot along the rail and were applying pressure from first over as the field headed toward three-quarters.

As the field reached the three-quarters in 1:23.1, Teelatini tipped from the pocket and employed an impressive late closing kick to surge past All Jk. Lets Go Endofanera utilized a ground saving trip and a late closing kick of her own to get up for second while All Jk held on for third. Sent off at odds of 5-2, Teelatini paid $7.20 to her backers at the betting windows.

Trained by Roger Welch, Teelatini has now won four of five lifetime starts. The homebred is owned by William C. DeLong and William P. DeLong and sports a lifetime bankroll of $150,348.  The victory was also one of three winners on the evening’s 14-race card for driver Peter Wrenn.

Live racing action will continue at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Friday, August 18 with a 14-race card featuring Indiana Sires Stakes action for the three-year-old pacing colts and two-year-old pacing colts.
