Odds On Mr Mamba, Somemore Blue headline INSS winners

Anderson, IN – Three-year-old pacing colts and fillies brought the preliminary harness racing rounds of Indiana Sire Stakes to a close at Harrah’s Hoosier Park on Friday (Oct. 2). North America Cup champion Odds On Mr Mamba (Odds On Equuleus) returned after a month away to headline two splits for pacing colts, while Somemore Blue remained red-hot notching her fourth straight to get top billing of the three filly splits.

In his long-awaited return, Odds On Mr Mamba driven by Peter Wrenn for trainer Melanie Wrenn was back like he never left, showing off his patented speed in the homestretch to take down the $49,000 second split for pacing colts.

Sliding to the rail in post six, Odds On Mr Mamba was conservative out of the gate, while What Nooo Waaay (John De Long) got the best of Dancingdreamer (Trace Tetrick) to the first turn in :25.4. Dancingdreamer didn’t stay behind for long, getting up on the leader to command the field to the halfway point in 54:3. Mellow Fellow (Atlee Bender) bounced to the outside from fourth allowing Odds On Mr Mamba to take the cover to the final turn. Dancingdreamer signaled the start of the stretch in 1:23.1. Taking off from the cover, Odds On Mr Mamba used his speed to his advantage accelerating along the outside passing four horses along the way to break the wire in 1:50.4 winning by a quarter length. Dancingdreamer settled for second as What Nooo Way wrapped up third.
