Anderson, IN — Harrah’s Hoosier Park offers its richest night of the season with the annual Hoosier Champions card on Friday (Oct. 14). Indiana’s finest will compete for over $2.3 million in purses over the course of the 15-race card, with eight $250,000 Indiana Sires Stakes Super Finals for 2- and 3-year-olds and four $70,000 Sires Stakes Finals for older competitors.

A pair of fillies will look to cap off a perfect Indiana Sires Stakes season in their respective Super Finals. M-M’s Dream looks to complete sweep of all eight preliminary legs plus the Super Final in the 3-year-old filly trot, while pacing sensation Rollin Rosie looks to cap a perfect rookie campaign in the 2-year-old filly pace.

Trained by Henry Graber Jr. for owners Eleven Star Stables, Frank Baldachino and Hillside Stables, M-M’s Dream has had a dream season in 2022, winning nine of 10 starts, with her lone defeat coming to the hands of Hambletonian Oaks winner Fashion Schooner in the $115,000 Moni Maker on Sept. 23. Having banked $302,550 this season, M-M’s Dream is no stranger to success on Hoosier Champions night, having captured the 2-year-old filly trot Super Final in 2021. The 3-year-old filly trot will go as the evening’s seventh race, with M-M’s Dream established as the 4-5 morning line choice from post seven. Leading the field of challengers to M-M’s Dream is Buckette winner Bluebird Dove (driven by Peter Wrenn) as the 9-2 second choice.

M-M’s Dream looks to complete an Indiana Sires Stakes sweep in the sophomore trotting filly Super Final.

Immediately following the 3-year-old filly trot, Rollin Rosie will look to put an exclamation point on a perfect freshman campaign in the 2-year-old filly pace super final. Trained by Harrah’s Hoosier Park’s leading trainer Tyler George, the daughter of JK Endofanera out of the Rocknroll Hanover mare Rock N Roll Baby has yet to taste defeat in six tries at two. Three-time USHWA Driver of the Year Dexter Dunn will be tasked with maintaining Rollin Rosie’s perfect record for owners Tyler George, Greg Samples and SCP Stable Inc. Dunn has familiarity with the fast freshman filly, having driven her to a 1:53.2 victory in the ISS preliminary finale for the pacing fillies her last time out, on Oct. 5. Only six rookie fillies have paced a faster mile than Rollin Rosie this season, who took a record of 1:51 on Sept. 1 and has banked $179,250.
