ANDERSON, IN -- October 21, 2023 -- With overwhelming support from the betting public, Jiggy Jog S (Dexter Dunn), at 1-9, won the first of two $25,000 Open Mares Trot elims. The time for the mile was 1:55 on Saturday, Oct. 21 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park.



Leaving the gate, Jiggy Jog S took it easy sitting in third as Adare Castle (James MacDonald) grabbed the lead followed by Weslynn Quest (Andy Miller). Jiggy Jog S let her foes dream about finishing in that order with :28.1, :59.2 and 1:29 fractions to three-quarters.


At three-quarters, Dunn had plenty of room to move off the pylons and allow Jiggy Jog S effortlessly trot to a 1:55 victory. Adare Castle took second, HP Mama B finished third. Herculisa and Weslynn Quest also made the final.

Mischevious Rose (Louis Roy), who galloped just before the gate opened, got back to trotting too late to be one of the five finishers eligible for the final.


Dexter Dunn said the win was as easy as it looked. “I was happy where I was and she has such a great turn of foot. She has put in great performances all year.”


Ake Svanstedt trains Jiggy Jog S for owner Jorgen Sparredal, Inc. Vestmarka Ab bred the Walner—Hot Mess Hanover mare. Her bankroll now reads $1,878,779. She paid $2.10 to win.


In the second Open Mares Trot elim, 12-1 Refined (Uncle Peter—Reinvent) was guided through the stretch by driver Doug McNair and upset heavy hometown favorite M-M’s Dream by a nose in the 1:54.1 mile.


Refined left well and quickly cut the first quarter in :26.4. Martysmagicmoment (Tony Hall) took the catbird seat with M-M’s Dream (David Miller) third. The field raced in line until Miller took M-M’s Dream to the outside and gained command towards a :57.1 half.


M-M’s Dream moved swiftly towards the turn while Warrawee Xenia (Tim Tetrick) moved first over, giving cover to Raised By Lindy (Scott Zeron) forming potential challenges as three-quarter passed in 1:27.2.


Refined found a path to attack M-M’s Dream and pressured the leader to hustle for a win but Miller’s urging could not fault Refined’s momentum and at the wire the photo showed a neck win for the Virgil Morgan Jr.-trained 7-year-old.

M-M’s Dream held for second and Warrawee Xenia was third. Refined paid $26.40 to win for owners Joyce A. McClelland and Larry W. Willis.


Walnut Hall Stock Farm bred the winner of six in 19 starts this season. Her bankroll increased to $985,733.

McNair said, “She was great today but my mare has been great every time I go with her. [Tonight] I moved her fairly early and she trotted right through to the wire.”

Trainer Morgan, Jr. said “We bought her after her three-year-old season and she has just been a pleasure to train. She has done nothing wrong and been ultra-consistent.”
