Ihearthetrainarollin is from the family of AQHA Dam of Distinction My Dashing Lady, half-sister to the dam of two-time champion Ketel Won.

Miss Perrys Cowgirl won the last trial of the night going full throttle under jockey Mario Delgado by 1 1/2-lengths. The slight upset resulted in the second fastest time of :15.556 seconds and paid $23.00 to win on 10/1 odds.

Trained by Cody Noel, the daughter of Flying Cowboy 123 now has $5,784 in the bank from her first start and on her way to winning more.

Breeder Flag Ranch LLC sold Miss Perrys Cowgirl for $150,000 to her current owner Reliance Ranches LLC in the Heritage Place Yearling Sale. The Oklahoma-bred filly is out of the stakes placed Tres Seis mare Miss Perrys Tres and from the family of champions Alice K White and Astica.

Ajk Viejo Titan, with Rolando Raudales in the irons, lead the field from first call but was nipped at the wire by Ihearthetrainaroll. That didn’t keep him out of the finals though, the son of Kiss My Hocks clocked the third fastest time from the trials in :15.571 seconds for an 87 speed index.
