Amira’s Prince gets first 2024 winner in Ohio

The first winner by Amira’s Prince in 2024 is Indy Princess Koko, a newly-turned 7-year-old mare bred by Jeannine Strauss McGann who has displayed her best form racing at all the Ohio tracks.

Luis Rivera was aboard Indy Princess Koko for her six-furlong trip at Mahoning Valley. She sat a stalking third through fractions of :22.74, :45.81 and :58.46, rallied five wide on the turn, and proved best in the run to the wire, winning by three-quarters of a length in 1:12.05. She paid $7.40 and collected a check for $6,540, lifting her career total to $78,798 on a record of 6-3-10 in 36 starts.
