It’s My Story wrote her own ending in the first round of the $12,000 Go On BB Series Thursday, April 30. It’s only fitting that Trainer Ron Burke won two of the three divisions named in honor of his standout pacing mare Go On BB, who surged across the million dollar mark during her career nearly 20 years ago.
It’s My Story and Kyle Wilfong began from post four and left the gate with authority, seeking the top spot. Princess Laa and Dale Hiteman got the first call with horses three wide around the first turn with It’s My Story in between Princess Laa and Keeps Miss Dixie and Jordan Ross. Once It’s My Story cleared the lead, Keeps Miss Dixie cleared to be the third leader of the race before Cruisen Halle and LeWayne Miller were out and rolling to become the fourth leader at the half in :56.1. It’s My Story stayed tucked in along the rail around the final turn. In the stretch, she was on the move and took over, coasting home to a three-length lead in a time of 1:53.0. Willow Larue and Marcus Miller closed for second over Keeps Miss Dixie.
It’s My Story paid $10.80 for the win. The three-year-old daughter of Best in Show is now owned by Burke Racing, Weaver Bruscemi, Michael Rosenthal, and Frank Baldachino. She was bred and raised by Michael Weaver. It’s My Story raced under Trainer John Merkel last year as a two-year-old starting off on the Indiana Sired Fair Circuit and then later making her mark on the pari-mutuel ranks. Merkel also trained her mother, A Lozkoz Bluegrass, during her racing career. It’s My Story is now two for three this season.
In the middle division of the Go On BB, Burke’s Klorox Queen and Trace Tetrick rallied home in a near gate to wire effort for the win by two and one-half lengths in 1:52.4. The Tellitlikeitis three-year-old paid $3.80 for her efforts as the race favorite. Beautiful Mistake and Brandon Bates finished second over Ponda Lime and Atlee Bender for third.
Klorox Queen is owned by Burke Racing, Knox Services, and Weaver Bruscemi. It was her second win of 2026 and her fourth overall. The mile also provided her with a new lifetime mark.
The first division of the Go On BB Series, Treacherous Woman and Kyle Wilfong were gate to wire winners in a time of 1:52.1. Gina Romantica and Marcus Miller finished two and one half lengths back in second over Rockin Charli and LeWayne Miller for third. Treacherous Woman had the fastest division of all fillies in the Go On BB series, paying $2.80 for the win as the race favorite. The Rockin Image filly was making her first start of 2026, coming off two wins in three starts as a two-year-old last fall for trainer Jay Hochstetler. Treacherous Woman is owned by Connie Hochstetler, Mary Buddig, Janet Schwartz, and South of the Tracks Rac Inc.
