Anderson, IN — Rock Swan and Swan Bomb, a pair of trotting fillies sired by Indiana’s leading trotting stallion Swan For All, were victorious in their respective $31,500 divisions of the Indiana Sires Stakes for 3-year-old trotting fillies at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Wednesday (July 29). It was the third round of the seven round series for the sophomore fillies.

Rock Swan and Trace Tetrick continued their winning ways and delivered as the heavy 1-9 favorite in the opening division of the stakes action. Stopping the timer in 1:54.2, Rock Swan recorded her second straight stakes victory and equaled her lifetime mark.

Leaving from post seven, Rock Swan was not hustled early and found a spot along the rail in fourth through the opening panel in :27.3. Tetrick gave his filly the green light just before the half in :57.1 and she ranged up to match strides with the pacesetting Skyway Tinacious and Peter Wrenn at the third station in 1:26. When the field turned for home, Rock Swan was on top by three lengths and appeared to cruise to the wire effortlessly finishing 3-1/4 lengths in front of Skyway Tinacious.

“She’s always been very professional,” Tetrick noted of his mount. “She has grown up a little this year and grown into herself. She’s a very handy filly to drive and knows her job.”

Trained by Erv Miller, the daughter of Swan For All-Jolly Jessica has now won two of four seasonal outings and 11 of 15 lifetime. Owned in partnership by S&R Racing Stables and Anthony Lombardi, Rock Swan pushed her lifetime bankroll to $441,106. The victory was also one of five on the evening’s 14-race card for Harrah’s Hoosier Park’s leading driver, Trace Tetrick.

In the second division, Swan Bomb and Ricky Macomber Jr. utilized the long Hoosier Park stretch to their advantage to pull off the 8-1 upset. Scoring in 1:55.4, Swan Bomb recorded her first stakes win and established a new lifetime best.

Leaving from post two, Swan Bomb was uninvolved in the early stages of the race and waited patiently along the rail in fourth. The 6-5 post time favorite, Hotel Whiskey and John DeLong dictated fractions of :57.2 and 1:26.3 while the field remained in single file.

Turning for home, Macomber was able to find late racing room and urged Swan Bomb forward. Using a :28 final panel, Swan Bomb was able to track down the leaders and trot strong to the wire to get the win over a hard charging Laney and Sam Widger.

Trained by Jamie Macomber, Swam Bomb recorded the second win of her sophomore season from six outs. The daughter of Swan For All-Tilly Bomb has now earned $34,685 in lifetime purse earnings and is owned by Dreamville Stable.
