AQHA Racing Challenge Leading Owner Jerry Stojan saw his gray filly Great Falls surge to a daylight victory in the $34,783 John Deere Century Juvenile Challenge on June 20.

Ridden by Ricardo Moreno and trained by William Leech, the Mpshinning filly confirmed her choice as the race favorite by overcoming the rainy day challenges to win by a length and stop the clock on the 350-yard race in :18.264.

Rooters Wagon was second, followed by Coronas Firefly, Secret Wagon and A Dashing Wagon.

Bred by AQHA Champion Breeder Dr. Steve Burns, Great Falls is out of the Separatist mare Fall For It. This is the filly’s first win in two starts, and pushes her career earnings to $18,657.
