Sent off at 8-1 odds, the daughter of Prospect To The Top, out of the Tres Seis mare, Dicey Riley, recorded her second win in as many starts. Bred by J. Garvan Kelly & Nancy Yearsley, Dicecapades is owned by Terry McLean of Claremore, Okla. and trained by Gerry McLean. She earned $41,838 for covering 330 yards in a time of :16.761 seconds over a fast track.

Im Tellin Ya was the 5-2 betting favorite, but only threatened early before weakening to finish fourth.

The Laico Bird is named in honor of the 1967 All American Futurity winner and American Quarter Horse Association World Champion who was trained by Jimmy Jones of Norman, Okla. Jones was on hand to present the trophy to the connections of Dicecapades.
