SHELBYVILLE, IN–AUGUST 5, 2025— RR Lotta Runforrobyn and Francisco Quintero brought the title back to the Tony Cunningham barn in the second running of the $34,000 Paul Martin Overnight Stakes Tuesday, Aug. 5 at Horseshoe Indianapolis.

The duo scored the victory for Cunningham after his stable entry recorded a dead heat in the inaugural running last year with Relentlessly Special and HG Favorite Energy, who Quintero rode, last year.

RR Lotta Runforrobyn was a winner last year in the Mari Hulman George Overnight Stakes, making him a two-time stakes winner now in Indiana.

Starting from post eight, RR Lotta Runforrobyn came out of the gate well, but his first few strides were not in control of the race.

Gringoo and Fernando Morin gained a short advantage on the inside with Streakin Little Jess and German Rodriguez, trained by Paul Martin’s daughter, Shawna, gaining a short advantage in the center of the track.

As the race unfolded, so did RR Lotta Runforrobyn’s long stride.

The sorrel three-year-old was making up ground with every stride in the second half of the 350-yard dash. In the end, he was a clear-cut winner with stablemate Cowboy on the Fly and L. Daniel Martinez on his outside flank, finishing a half-length back in second. Gringoo won the photo between four horses for third.

RR Lotta Runforrobyn came into the race off a break since late June and was overlooked by the betting public, paying $21.40 for the win. The son of leading sire Favorite Cartel earned his third win in 12 starts, moving his career bankroll to more than $72,000.

He was a $80,000 purchase from the Heritage Place September Yearling Sale by Pam Hann’s A Win Investments. Reliance Ranches of Oklahoma bred the colt.

Runner-up Cowboy On The Fly is a 3-year-old son of leading third-crop sire Flying Cowboy 123 from the Tres Seis mare Dont Bug The Tres. Anthony Cunningham is the owner and trainer. Edard Walsh is the breeder.

Third-place finisher races for owner-trainer and breeder Ricardo Martinez. The son of Habits Secret is out of Jess My You by Mr Jess Perry.

Kelli Girl, Streakin Little Jess, Mg Kangura, Disko Lady, All That Yard, and Checkn Me Out completed the field.
