Indiana-sired two-year-old trotters were the featured attraction at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Wednesday, Aug. 24 as the evening’s 14-race card was highlighted by a pair of Indiana Sires Stakes divisions for the freshman filly trotters and two divisions for the trotting colts.
Black Mamba AS added the $25,000 championship leg of the Howard Beissinger Memorial Medley trot series at 1-1/4 miles to her impressive resume on Friday, trotting gate to finish line in front in 2:25.2 in an effort that would have made Kobe Bryant proud.
“I knew she’d have a big shot,” exclaimed driver Tyler Smith. “Anette (Lorentzon, the trainer) keeps all her horses fit and sharp and the added quarter mile didn’t bother her or me a bit.” A six-year-old daughter of Lionhunter, Black Mamba AS recorded her 16th lifetime victory and boosted her career bounty to $342,912 with the score. She has finished on the board in 42 of her 77 trips behind the starting gate.
