INDIANAPOLIS, IN–AUGUST 8, 2024–Rr Lotta Runforrobyn bounced off an eighth-place troubled effort in the July 20 Heartland Futurity to break his maiden impressively in the $35,800 Mari Hulman Overnight Stakes at Horseshoe Indianapolis.

Rr Lotta Runforrobyn popped the gates under jockey Saul Lopez, then cleared the field to win by 1-1/2 lengths. The royally-bred son leading sire Favorite Cartel clocked 350 yards in 17.677 seconds, equaling a 94-speed index with a 9 mph tailwind.

Anthony F. Cunningham trains the $80,000 Heritage Place Yearling Sale graduate for owner A Win Investments. It was the first win in three starts for the colt and the $19,960 winner's purse swelled his bankroll to $26,137.

"We loved his bottom side and we saw him going into the ring," recalled Cunningham. "We walked up to see how much he was going to bring and thought he’d bring a lot more. I bid one time and got him. Then, I was worried I missed something and something was wrong with him but there wasn’t. He’s just been slow to develop, sort of like Prize Kiss (another stakes winning two-year-old for Cunningham and Hann.) He can run, he’s always shown that, he’s just now coming along."
