WickedCourageholds on to win record Ruidoso DerbyJune 8, 2013 • Ruidoso Downs Racetrack, NM

Andrew Smith’s Wicked Courage raced erratically but was controlled by jock-ey Cody Jensen, who had 10 screws

and a plate surgically placed in his left collarbone less than three weeks earlier,, to hold on and win a tight Grade 1, $822,603 Ruidoso Derby.

It was the seventh-straight win for Wicked Courage.

The Ruidoso Derby purse set an all-time record, surpassing the $702,896 purse in the 2011 running. Wicked Courage now has the opportunity to take the two up-coming Grade 1 derbies at Ruidoso Downs: the $1 million (est.) Rainbow Derby and the $2.8 million (est.) All American Derby. The 440-yard Rainbow Derby and the 440-yard All American Derby will each have record purses with the All American Derby having the all-time largest purse in quarter horse racing history. A sweep of the three Grade 1 derbies would pay approximately $2 mil-lion to the winner.

“My dream is to win all three (derbies),” said Smith. “But, it’s really not about the money. It’s about the glory of winning these races.”

Wicked Courage and Jensen were all out to win the Ruidoso Derby. Ill Stop The World was a neck back in second and it was another head back to third-place finisher Sugardaddy B. The top-six finishers were separated by two necks, two heads and a nose in a prototypical “cavalry charge” Quarter Horse finish.

“He was jumping tracks and shadows,” said Jensen. “I was on the lead just trying to hold him together.”

Less than three weeks before the Ru-idoso Derby, Jensen was in a riding accident at Remington Park and two days later Dr. Brian Levings performed surgery on Jensen’s clavicle that was shattered into five pieces.

“I had a lot of hope that I would get back this quick. I have to give a lot of thanks to Dr. Levings. All I had was hope and a good doctor,” Jensen said.

Jensen was also aboard a good horse, who had proven himself with six straight wins against lesser company. Five of those wins came with Jensen aboard. “I knew he would fit here,” said Jensen.

The winning streak includes wins last year in the Black Gold 350 Futurity and the Black Gold Championship last fall at Will Rogers Down and then the Bob Moore Stakes in April at Remington Park for trainer Luis Villafranco.

Wicked Courage won the first of eight Ruidoso Derby trials while knifing through a 25-mile-an-hour headwind. Then between the fifth and sixth trials the wind shifted to a 15 miles per hour tail wind. The result was the top-nine qualifiers came out of the last three trials and Wicked Courage was the 10th and final qualifier with his :19.553 time.

Smith had been unsuccessfully trying to qualify one of his horses for a Grade 1 race at Ruidoso Downs since 1985. He had raced countless horses in the trials and

never made the finals.“I just didn’t have good enough horses.

When the wind changed I thought ‘Here we go again.’ I was thinking it would be just like last year when we had the 12th-fastest time to the Ruidoso Futurity with this horse,” Smith said.

The wagering fans knew what Wicked Courage had done. He was bet down to 17-10 favoritism on the strength of his winning streak and qualifying for the finals while overcoming a 40 miles per hour wind differential during the trials.

A gelded son of Captain Courage and the Dash For Cash daughter Wicked Pamela, Wicked Courage was a $4,000 bargain as a yearling at the Heritage Place Sale. “I really liked that his second dam is Viking Anne and he didn’t bring that much money because he was by a young stallion.” Viking Anne was a legend at Los Alamitos in Southern California as one of the great-est 870-yard runners of all-time. “There are no leaks in his pedigree,” Smith said.

Ron and Kati Hanna’s runner-up Ill Stop The World was in the fight to the wire. The Fdd Dynasty gelding won his trial by one-and-one-half lengths after taking a SunRay Park allowance race in April for trainer Chris Zamora.

Ill Stop The World has three wins, a second and a third from eight starts.

Sugardaddy B, owned by Jakita Investments LLC, was fourth in his wind-aided Ruidoso Derby trial and the Bigtime Favorite gelding stepped forward with his third-place finish in the Ruidoso Derby for trainer Blane Wood.

Following the top-three horses under the wire were Tayte Me Down, Charvet, Pyro, Kat Quick, A Dream To Remember, First Alibi Snow and Mr Perry Cartel.

Five Bar Cartel edges Unchangeable in Ed Burke FuturityJune 23, 2013 Los Alamitos Race Course, Cypress, CA

By Ty Wyant

San Gregorio Racing Stables’ Five Bar Cartel needed every inch of the 350 yards to catch Ron and Ronnie Keller’s

Unchangeble to win the Grade 1, $1,111,000 Ed Burke Futurity at Los Alamitos in a race that evoked memories of recent and time-less racing history.

The winner gave San Gregorio Racing Stable’s an interest in three of the past four winners of $1 million races at Los Alamitos while runner-up Unchangeable brought out memories of all-time everything trainer Blane Schvaneveldt.

Five Bar Cartel, with Saul Ramirez Jr. aboard, got his nose in front at the right moment to get the win in:17.524 for the 350 yards. San Gregorio Racing Stable’s Masherati B was a neck back the top-two fi nishers for third to give the ownership a 1-3 fi nish in the fi rst $1 million race of the Los Alamitos season

“We got it right at the line,” said Ramirez Jr. “I knew that if we won it, it was because of the head bob. We had to catch Unchange-able. By the next jump after the wire I was a head in front, but that jump wouldn’t have mattered if I didn’t win the one before it. Only (Unchangeable) had us beat at the start. We were right there along with Mash-erati B. We got a good break, but Unchange-able out broke us and had the lead for 349

yards.”If Five Bar

Cartel can go on and win the $1 million (est.) Golden State Million on Nov. 3 and the $2 million Los Alamitos Two Million on Dec. 15 then the Danny Montes-trained colt will become the fi rst horse to take the $1 million Los Alamitos Triple Crown Bonus.

The win continues a hot streak in Grade 1, $1 million-plus races for Jorge Carmona’s San Gregorio Racing Stables, thanks mainly to 2012 world champion One Dashing Eagle, the only quarter horse to earn $2 million as a juvenile. San Gregorio Racing Stables’ is part-owner of One Dashing Eagle. The One Famous Eagle colt, who was retired after his juvenile sea-son, won last year’s $1,041,000 Ed Burke Million and then went on to take the Grade 1, $2.4 million All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs and the Grade 1, $1,118,000 Golden State Million.

The Corona Cartel-sired Five Bar Cartel, out of stakes winner and multiple Grade 1 producer Five Bar Molly, won his maiden at fi rst asking by one-and-three-quarter lengths and the won his Ed Burke trial by one-length.

Montes indi-cated after the race that Five Bar Cartel will now be given a break after earning

$449,820 in the Ed Burke Futurity.Runner-up Unchanged raced in the silks

of the late legendary trainer Schvaneveldt. He is trained by Schvaneveldt’s longtime assistant Rafael Orozco and owned by long-time Schvaneveldt clients and friends Ron and Ronnie Keller.

He won his maiden by daylight on May 25 before fi nishing second in his Ed Burke Million trial.

T O P R A C I N G S T O R I E S “We did really well,” Brenda Sch-

vaneveldt said. “We’re proud that he quali-fied to this race and to then finish second is just great. My dad (Blane) would have been so proud of us. We really wanted to win it and he only got beat by a whisker.”

Masherati B, trained by Jose de la Torre, sustained his first defeat after winning his maiden and his Los Alamitos Two Million trial.

Fastest qualifier Turbulent Times was seventh at the start after being bumped on both sides leaving the gate. He rallied and finished a neck behind Masherati B in fourth

place. The remaining finishers were Quirky, Docs First Fire, Foose Is Loose, She Forgives, Fire Up Willie and Composed Charisma.

Jose and Gustavo De La Torre and San Gregorio Racing Stables Inc.’s Mistic Rose posted a nose victory when she held off the fast closing Tres Pescado to win the $30,000 Ed Burke Juvenile.

The filly by Corona Cartel was picking up her second victory in three lifetime starts while covering the 350 yards in :17.562. Mistic Rose improved her lifetime record to two wins in three starts. She debuted with

a three-quarter-length win on May 4 and then finished second to Ed Burke Million Futurity qualifier Docs First Fire in the June 9 trials. She was ridden by Eduardo Nicasio for trainer Jose de la Torre .

Hector A. Hernandez’s Tres Pescado was fifth at the start, but nearly caught Mistic Rose at the wire. He was ridden by Francisco Rubio for trainer Jose Flores.

Tres Magicals was a head back in third.The remaining order of finish was Joe

The Jet Perry, Chollima, Smithy, Fiesty Flo, Social Budderfly and Secret Lips.

Cartel Quick gets close win in record Ruidoso FuturityJune 9, 2013 • Ruidoso Downs Racetrack, NM

Sergio Enriquez’s Cartel Quick scored the closest of decisions over KH Logax Inc.’s homebred You N How Many

More to post the 7-1 upset win in the record Grade 1, $750,000 Ruidoso Futurity at Ru-idoso Downs.

The previous record purse for the Ru-idoso Futurity was $600,000 set last year.

With Tanner Thedford in saddle for his biggest career victory, Cartel Quick raced the 350 yards in :17.498 to grab the win by the shortest of noses.

Three Wild Dreams was one-half length behind the top-two finishers for third in the field of 10 two-year-old hopefuls.

Cartel Quick, a son of Teller Cartel, made his career debut in the 18th of 25 Ruidoso Futurity trials and came up with a one-length win. His time of :17.428 was the seventh-fastest qualifying time

The Alonso Orozco-trained colt did not make it back to the winner’s circle due to stress and exhaustion. He was vanned off from near the winner’s circle as per New Mexico racing procedures for the horse’s welfare. He was cooled down with buckets of water before walking into the van.

Cartel Quick was vanned from the racetrack to the test barn after the 350-yard Ruidoso Futurity. Enriquez said that Cartel Quick was later treated for dehydration at trainer Alonso Orozco’s barn, and showed improvement Sunday evening before taking a turn for the worse overnight.

Cartel Quick, was euthanized because of kidney failure, according to his owner, Sergio Enriquez.

Early Monday morning, Cartel Quick un-derwent further treatment, but did not show improvement, Enriquez said. The diagnosis of a kidney failure was made early Monday, he said.

Cartel Quick was unbeaten in two starts

and earned $317,100. After winning a division of the Ruidoso Futurity trials in his career debut on May 24, Cartel Quick won Sun-day’s final by a nose over You N How Many More.

The colt will undergo a necropsy at a state labo-ratory in Albuquerque, N.M.

You N How Many More, ridden by Jaime Parga Leos, was also making his second career start after taking his trial by one-and-three-quarter lengths for trainer Juan Gonzalez. The gray son of Chicks Regard was the third-fastest qualifier with a :17.347 time.

Third-place finisher Three Wild Dreams, a gelding by Tres Seis, made his fifth start for trainer Chris Zamora. He finished fourth in the West Texas Futurity and then won his maiden in his Ruidoso Futurity trial.

Fastest qualifier and 2-1 favorite One Quick Eagle lost all chance when he was repeatedly bumped in tight quarters and finished ninth.

The complete order of finish was Cartel Quick, You N How Many More, Three Wild Dreams, El Senor Lucero, Quick Dynasty, Sufired, Strategic Weapon, Feature Lauren, One Quick Eagle and Carters Disco.

Cartel Quick was purchased for $10,000 in last year’s Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale and picked up $315,000 for the narrow win.

In the $20,000 Ruidoso Quarter Horse

Juvenile, Julian Aragon’s Dashin Little Guy won by one-half length while under a strong hold by jockey Felipe Garcia-Luna.

It was the second win from four starts for the Dashin Bye son from the Lillian Silva stable. He had won his West Texas Futurity trial and raced to a fifth-place finish in the West Texas Futurity.

Gbh Big Henry finished second and Full Blown Easy was third in the nine-horse field.

Dashin Little Guy had the 350-yard test under control by the halfway mark and Garcia-Luna had him geared down in the final 50 yards. They were timed in :17.440 for the 350 yards.

Big Biz Perry big upset winner of Heritage Place Futurity; Brace For Bernal romps in Heritage Place DerbyJune 1, 2013 • Remington Park, Oklahoma City, OK

Remington Park’s “Mega-Card” of rac-ing Saturday night, the richest overall program ever presented in track

history, featured a big-money upset in the richest race of the season.

Big Biz Perry broke well from post posi-tion No. 1, and then battled to hold off the even-money wagering favorite Hes Relent-less to win the Grade 1, $1,075,260 Heritage Place Futurity. Owned by Jose Espinosa of Edinburg, Texas, Big Biz Perry is trained by Trey Wood who saddled the winner of the biggest Remington Park race for the second consecutive year. In 2012, he sent BP Cartels Alibi to victory. The repeat win in the big race came along on short notice as he just took over the conditioning of the 2-year-old filly recently.

“We really didn’t know her until she got here,” Wood noted. “Jose sent her to us from Sam Houston and we didn’t have her in Houston. She looked good but didn’t get away in the consolation there (in April). She got away good in the trials here and she got away super-good tonight and that’s what won the race for her.”

Ridden by Cipriano Vidana, Big Biz Perry was away at 29-1 odds and paid $60.80 for the win, $14.80 to place and $7.60 to show. Even-money favorite Hes Relentless was coming on strongly but could not reach the winner, settling for second a head behind the victor, paying $4.20 to win and $3.20. Wagon Tales was along for third and paid $3.80 to show.

Big Biz Perry set a new stakes record in the Heritage Place Futurity by covering the 350 yards in :17.31 seconds over a fast track. A Texas-bred by Burnett Ranches, Big Biz Perry is by Mr Jess Perry from the Shazoom mare Big Bizooms.

The winner’s share of $383,309 ups the career earnings for Big Biz Perry to $393,947. She has now won three races from four starts and is a perfect two-for-two after win-ning her trial and the Heritage Place Futurity at Remington Park.

Aside from Wood, the Heritage Place win is the first for both Espinosa and Vidana.

Remington Park Championship

Priceless Feature continues to love Remington Park as he posted his second straight stakes win of the season and the biggest win of his career in the Grade 1, $250,000 Remington Park Championship.

Owned by Ed Melzer of Edmond, Okla. and trained by Eddie Willis, Priceless Feature was ridden by Jimmy Brooks who was impressed with the gelding’s run. “He really left there and I knew after about the third jump they were going to have to come and get him. I think he’s getting a lot better, he’s been leaving well and finishing.”

The 4-year-old took over with about 150 yards remaining in the classic 440-yard race. Ochoa, American Quarter Horse rac-ing’s all-time leading money earner, was also coming on with a rally but could not match the winner’s effort as he settled for second, a half-length behind. The Long

Knife, who shared the early lead along with A Toss Up, relin-quished the advantage but held for the show.

Priceless Feature was at his best as he rolled over the 440 yards in :20.981 seconds, set-ting a new track record at the measure. The mark bettered the standard set in 2011 by Strea-kin Down who held a time of :21.005 for over two years.

At 5-1 in the wagering, Priceless Feature paid $13.40 to win, $4.60 to place and $4 to show. Ochoa, the 7-5 betting favorite, paid $4 to place and $3.20 to show. The Long Knife paid $5.40 to show.

Bred in Oklahoma by Sam Green, Priceless Feature is by Feature Mr Jess from the Coro-na Cartel mare Southern Price. He won his eighth Remington Park race in his career and his 10th overall from 20 lifetime starts.

Priceless Feature pro-vided the first Remington Park Championship win to all of his connections. The gelding earns a berth in the prestigious $750,000 Champion of Cham-pions race at Los Alamitos in southern California by taking the Remington Park Champion-ship.

Heritage Place DerbyIn his fifth consecutive win

in as many Remington Park starts this season; Brace For Bernal frolicked with a romp in the Grade 2, $285,780 Heritage Place Derby.

Winning jockey Paul Nieto simply sat still and let his mount do all the work. “The horse is breaking more sharply than he used to, and that’s good for him because he’s a closer. He’s got a big heart”

Winning trainer, Luis Vil-lafranco continues to add to his Remington Park record for most wins in the Quarter Horse season as Brace For Bernal gave him a remarkable ninth stakes triumph in 2013.Owned by Noel Prieto, Brace For Bernal is a 3-year-old colt by Fu-

ryofthewind from the Shazoom mare Zoom Bracer.

Brace For Bernal was a convincing favorite, winning by 1-½ lengths, covering the 400 yards in :19.275. He paid $3.60 to win, $3.40 to place and $2.60 to show. Entering the race, Dashin Brown Streak had a perfect 4 for 4 lifetime record at Remington Park, but he settled for second and paid $5.00 to place and $3.40 to show. Big Boi, the Oklahoma Derby winner in March, ran third and paid $2.80 to show.

Brace For Bernal has now won six consecutive races dat-ing to November 2012. He now has eight wins from 14 career starts and earned another $48,583 for the Heritage Place Derby to run his overall mark to $247,277. Bred in Oklahoma by Joaquin Lopez, Brace For Bernal gave his connections their first Heritage Place Derby triumph with the exception of Villafranco who has now won the race twice.

Speedhorse/Graham Farms Paint & Appaloosa Futurity

The world’s richest Paint and Appaloosa Futurity was won by the lone Appaloosa in the Grade 1, $249,175 Speed-horse/Graham Farms Paint & Ap-paloosa Futurity. Major Tom had been a winning favorite in his two previous wins this season, but he was an upset winner at 6-1 when he broke well and ran straight to win the final by 1-3/4 lengths.

The race favorite, Imflashin-thechicks, had an awkward start and was never a threat. Major Tom, a 2-year-old gelded son of Red Storm Cat from the Mr Eye Opener (qh) mare Eyesa Knock-out (qh) was bred in Oklahoma by Gary Vaughn. Trained by Ed-die Willis and ridden by Jimmy Brooks, the precocious sprinter earned $94,690 and gave owner Mary Hainline back-to-back wins in the rich futurity. In 2012, the soft-spoken owner won the same stakes race with the Paint horse Ubuyillfly.

Major Tom covered the 350 yards in :17.403 and paid $14.40 to win, $5.60 to place and $3.80 to show. Situation raced gamely to finish second and pay $5.40 to place and $4.20 to show. Call Him Awesome was along for third and paid $6.40 to show.

Major Tom has now made $109,649 in his four-race career in which he has won three races and was third in the other. The Appaloosa gave Willis his third win in the Speedhorse/Graham Futurity while Brooks rode his second consecutive winner.

Junos Request StakesThe “Mega-Card” night-

cap was the Grade 2, $50,000 Junos Request Stakes for older fillies and mares. Black Rosalita needed every bit of her talent to outkick her rivals to win by a head in the 400-yard race.

Owned and bred in Maryland by the Dr. Francis L. Glowacki 97 Trust and trained by

Luz Chavira, Black Rosalita won her second stakes race of the season. She added the Junos Re-quest to her win in the Decketta Stakes in March.

Under jockey Ivan Carnero, Black Rosalita handled 400 yards in :19.543 seconds and paid $6 to win, $4 to place and $2.80 to show as the 2-1 wagering favor-ite. Corona Mit Go held second after dueling with the winner to pay $16.60 to place and $6 to show. Cruzin The Wagon was third and paid $4.20 to show.

A 4-year-old mare by Sweet First Down from the Tolltac mare Poneta, Black Rosalita has now won nine races from 26 career starts and three races at Rem-ington Park. She gave all of her connections their first win in the Junos Request Stakes. The race is named after the multiple AQHA Champion mare from the early 1990s who counted a Remington Park Championship win among her stakes resume.

Ruidoso Futurity winner Cartel Quick put downRacing Commission investigates cause of horse’s breakdown

By Pete Herrera

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Another Ruidoso Futurity, another problem. A year after a drugging scandal followed the trials

for the 2012 Ruidoso Futurity and led to the long-term suspension of several trainers, this year’s $750,000 race is now marred in tragedy and controversy.

An official of the state Racing Commis-sion confirmed to SureBet that the winning horse in this year’s Ruidoso Futurity – Cartel Quick – had to be put down after the race.

“The horse never recovered after the race and was in distress,” Racing Commission Director Vince Mares told SureBet.

Cartel Quick won the 350-yard race by a nose over runner-up You N How Many More to earn the first-place share of $315,000. The Ruidoso Futurity is the first of the big three races for 2-year-olds every summer at Ruidoso Downs, culminating with the $2 million-plus All American Futurity on Labor Day.

Mares said the purse money from the Ruidoso Futurity will not be released until investigators for the Racing Commission complete their work.

Last year, nines horses that ran in the trials for the futurity tested positive for dermorphin, a painkiller described as much more powerful than morphine. The three trainers of those nine horses, Jeffrey Reed, Carlos Sedillo and John Bassett, ultimately received severe fines and were suspended by the New Mexico Racing Commission for terms ranging from 10 years to 21 years.

A horse breaking down after a race is not uncommon, especially for the fragile 2-year-old Quarter Horses. And though what happened to Cartel Quick has not yet been determined, Mares said a necropsy (an autopsy for horses) has been performed and blood and urine samples were taken from the horse before and after he was put down.

“We had an investigator there to make sure we retained custody of the horse,” Mares said. He said the horse’s remains were taken to Albuquerque.

Cartel Quick was trained by Alonso Orozco, who has a pending case before the Racing Commission.

That case involved another of Orozco’s horses, which tested positive last summer for the drug Clenbuterol, which helps a horse to breath easier, but can also act as a steroid to build muscle in racehorses. The

Racing Commission banned its use in New Mexico last year.

No disciplinary action had been taken against Orozco in connection with the alleged Clenbuterol violation because he went to the courts and obtained a restrain-ing order against the Racing Commission. That restraining order allowed him to continue to race horses while his case is pending.

Mares said the blood and urine samples taken from Cartel Quick were sent for test-ing to the laboratory at the University of California-Irvine. He expects to receive the results of those tests within days.

Cartel Quick, owned by Sergio Enriquez, had to be taken off the track in a van after the race.

“We are going to talk to the trainer,” Mares said. “There are going to be a lot of dynamics involved.”

Mares said the California lab first will test the horse’s blood and urine to deter-mine whether any drugs were present. If drugs are detected, then the lab would do a second set of tests to confirm its initial findings.

“If it’s positive, then we contact the trainer,” Mares said.

Mares said all of the 10 horses that qualified for the futurity finals were tested.

Mares said while there is no conclusive evidence that Cartel Quick was admin-istered any illegal drugs, the latest in-cident deals another blow to horseracing in New Mexico.

“It is so frustrat-ing and dishearten-ing because of all the effort the commis-sion is making,” Mares said. “It is a constant battle.”

Mares said the Racing Commission is running very low

on funds to test horses because the fiscal year will end this month. On July 1, the start of the new fiscal year, the Racing Commis-sion will get an infusion of additional fund-ing that was approved by the Legislature.

Mares said because of the lack of fund-ing, only the winner from each of the 25 trials for the Ruidoso Futurity was tested. He said “some preliminary positives” for Clen-buterol were found, but those findings have to be confirmed through further testing.

“We are scrapping the bottom of the barrel in terms of money for testing until the new fiscal year starts,” Mares said.

Trainer Paul Jones gets 60-day suspensionBy Pete Herrera

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Paul Jones, the most successful Quarter Horse trainer in the country in terms of how much

money his horses have earned, is facing a 60-day suspension in New Mexico for a drug-related violation.

The New Mexico Racing Commission handed down the suspension and imposed a $1,500 fine on Jones, who recently became the first Quarter Horse trainer to surpass the $70 million mark in earnings.

A fixture at Ruidoso Downs and Los Alamitos racetracks, Jones is one of the most recognizable faces of Quarter Horse racing. He has twice won the All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs and has won the Champion of Champions race at Los Alamitos six times.

The All American Futurity is consid-ered the Kentucky Derby of Quarter Horse racing and The Champion of Champions is the most prestigious race in the country for older Quarter Horses.

The suspension and fine resulted from a case that dates back to July 8, 2011. On that day, the Jones-trained horse Jess Hi Main-tenance won a futurity trial race at Ruidoso Downs. Post-race testing revealed a small amount of the drug Zilpatero in the horse’s system.

Zilpatero is a prohibited substance in horseracing that is commonly used as a supplement in cattle feed. It’s intended to promote size in cattle. A key and unresolved element in the case was how Zilpatero may have ended up in a special mix of grain and molasses that Jones feeds his horses.

Jess Hi Maintenance was co-owned by R.D. Hubbard, the owner of Ruidoso Downs, and Johnny Cope, whose wife, Marty, at the time was the chairwoman of the New Mexico Racing Commission.

Jones’ attorney, Billy Blackburn, empha-sized in his arguments before the Racing Commission that Hubbard and Marty Cope had long been involved in efforts to rid New Mexico’s horseracing industry of trainers and horsemen who use performance-enhancing drugs on their animals.

Jones’ defense also noted that he has been a trainer for 23 years and had more than 18,000 horses start in races without a single positive test for a banned substance. It also noted that six other horses trained by Jones won trial races on the same day that Jess Hi Maintenance ran and none of those tested positive for banned drugs.

The case had been postponed at least

twice over the past two years, and Jones now has the option to appeal the decision by the state Racing Commission to a state district court.

Three other prominent New Mexico-based trainers, Fred Danley, Chris Hartman and Alonso Orozco, also received suspen-sions and fines from the Racing Commission. In all three cases, horses trained by Danley, Hartman and Orozco tested positive for excessive amounts of the drug Clenbuterol.

Danley, who trains both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses, was suspended for six months, fined $1,500 and lost the purse money earned when his Quarter Horse, Pakea Bay, won a race at Ruidoso Downs last summer.

Investigators for the Racing Commis-sion reported that blood and urine samples taken from Pakea Bay showed an excessive amount of Clenbuterol.

The New Mexico Racing Commission has banned the use of Clenbuterol within 30 days of a horse competing in a race. Clen-buterol is a theraputic drug that can help a horse to breathe easier by relaxing the muscles that line the airways. But it’s also considered a type of steroid.

Hartman, one of the top Thoroughbred trainers in New Mexico, received a 90-day suspension and was fined $1,000. He also lost the money earned when his horse, Snow Ridge Bliss, finished second in a race at Sunland Park on March 2, 2012.

In March 2012, the Racing Commission had not yet adopted the tougher restric-tions on the use of Clenbuterol. But urine and blood samples taken from Snow Ridge Bliss showed the horse had more of the drug in his system than was allowed under the Racing Commission rules that were in place at the time.

Orozco received a 60-day suspension and fined $500. The penalty also carried a loss-of-purse provision. The penalties resulted from a positive test for Clenbuterol in samples taken from Runaway Oak after the horse won a race at Ruidoso Downs on July 7, 2012.

Orozco is a central figure in a current, ongoing investigation by the State Racing Commission that focuses on the running last month of the $750,000 Ruidoso Futurity.

Orozco was the trainer of the winning horse, Cartel Quick,who was in distress after the race and had to be euthanized the following day. Racing Commission Director Vince Mares told SureBet the agency is still awaiting the results of various tests conduct-

ed on the horse’s remains.Those tests, said Mares, may ultimately reveal what caused the horse’s problems that led to the decision to put him down.

In other action by the Racing Commis-sion at its June meeting, race dates for 2014 were approved for all five racinos.

Track management and the New Mexico Horsemen’s Association had reached agreement on the race dates for four of the five tracks, but the Racing Commission had to determine the race dates for SunRay Park in Farmington after officials of that track and the horsemen could not reach agreement.

The Racing Commission voted to have SunRay run 39 live race days in 2014, the same number of days as the past two years. SunRay officials wanted to reduce the number of days to 32, and the New Mexico Horsemen’s Association had proposed a 47-day meet.

SunRay officials say the track’s revenues from its casino have been dramatically reduced by competition from a Navajo tribal casino that opened last year on the western edge of Farmington.

Greg Hamilton, one of the 18 manag-ing partners at SunRay, told the commission the track lost a quarter of a million dollars in April and between $100,000 and $150,000 last month.

“This month is looking much worse,” Hamilton said. “This is the result of the Nava-jos taking 45 percent of our (casino) business.”

“We (managing partners) cannot feed this company,” Hamilton said. “It’s not pos-sible. We will save our nest egg if we have to. If you want us in good shape, we need your help. I’m here to save the future of horserac-ing in northwest New Mexico.”

Joe Dee Brooks, a horse owner, said horseracing has become of secondary importance to the casinos at the tracks, and management continues to try to reduce the number of race days they run.

“Now they’re coming to us and telling us, your horseracing is really messing up our gaming. All we’re hearing is … how much it costs to have horseracing and how horse racing is interfering with the casinos.”

The 2014 race days for Sunland Park will remain at 76 days, the same as in re-cent years. Zia Park will remain at 56 days; Ruidoso will again run 60 days in 2014 and The Downs At Albuquerque will run a 37-day meet, three fewer days than this year. The Downs also will run the traditional

They say a change is as good as a holi-day and that is certainly the case for jockey Isaias Enriquez. After a frustrat-

ing run last winter at Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino in New Mexico where he was under-utilized, his resurgence at Emerald Downs in Washington reflects the feast-or-famine nature of the racing industry.

Once well respected jockey agent, Vito Lucarelli came on board to take his book, it was all systems go, with Isaias trekking the arduous 2,000 miles from the Southwest to the northwest with his young wife of three years, Nereida (“Neri”) and their 18-month-old baby boy, Ismael, for a fresh start.

However, Isaias would not be the lone new face to the Emerald Downs jockey colony. Several other riders had the same idea, the summer track drawing David Lopez from northern California, Ronald Richard from Louisiana and Anne Sanguinetti from Arizona to set up tack along with returnees, Cassie Papineau and Nathan Chaves, yet none could boast the wealth of experience that Isaias brings.

Since the absence of five-time cham-pion rider Ricky Frazier due to a contrecoup head injury suffered at Fresno in 2011 in a post-parade -- his official retirement from the saddle, July 3 of this year -- stalwart Juan Gutierrez has ruled the roost at Emerald Downs. Until now, that is. Just over 10 weeks of the current meet in and Isaias, who has been going toe-to-toe with the defending champ, has taken over top spot with a two-win advantage.

Northwest fans are genuinely excited that Emerald Downs has drawn a jockey with the depth of talent of Isaias, who has knocked heads with the nation’s best in southern California for over a decade. The feeling, it seems, is mutual. After recently taking center stage at the Emerald AM workout show, where he engaged the morn-ing guests with an Equisizer demonstration, Isaias cannot say enough about the track that has offered his career a new boost.

Respected by northwest owners and trainers, who remain as baffled as he is as to why New Mexico failed to fully capitalize on his proven ability, Isaias has been in increas-ing demand ever since the Emerald meet began. With choice mounts for the leading

barns of Jim Penney, Doris Harwood, Frank Lucarelli and others, Isaias is displaying a fluidity that has led to a flood of winners.

Astute owner Michael Pollowitz had no hesitation in singing his praises.

“Isaias has won on all four of our horses so far this season. He is a very sweet person and I do believe he is the best rider here.”

Even when times have turned tough, Isaias has maintained a sterling attitude. In New Mexico, he formed a close friendship with up-and-coming rider Enrique Gomez, more than willing to mentor him and happy to see him surge up the standings even when opportunities for himself were not forthcoming,

“I like to help young riders. Enrique, I took him under my wing and love him like a little brother.”

Now that the drought is over, Isaias is back in the swim of success with a much-needed boost to his confidence that, on reflection, had taken a dip.

“Like anywhere, when you heat up, ev-eryone wants you, but if you are off to a slow start, it can be hard to get things going.”

Isaias began his riding apprenticeship at Caliente Racetrack in his hometown of Tijuana, Mexico. His natural presence in the saddle runs in the family. His father, Alfredo, rode there for 15 years before transitioning to paddock judge, and his brother, Hum-berto was a Hall of Fame jockey, capturing seven riding titles in a row at Caliente before an accident breaking from the gate left him with right-sided paralysis, forcing him into early retirement.

The pair proved a huge influence on Isaias who had been going to the track from a very young age. Enthralled by the stories his dad would share about race-riding and of how he had taught Humberto, Isaias, the last of nine children in the family, followed in their footsteps.

Isaias was just getting started when workers in Tijuana went on strike, forcing the Caliente racetrack to close. The move across the border into the U.S. seemed the next logical step.

“I moved my tack to Fairplex in Pomona and Los Alamitos. I was 17 at the time, gal-loping horses. I went across to Turf Paradise for the winter and got my official jockey’s license.”

At Turf Paradise on Nov. 24, 1990, Isaias rode his first winner. Phoenix was, however, a mere stop on the way. Two weeks later Isaias headed off for Chicago, which would remain his base for the next seven years before he returned to California.

With Rick Cavagna as his agent in south-ern California, Isaias received solid support from many barns, both big and small, none more than trainer Richard Matlow, who lost his battle with Lou Gehrig’s Disease four years ago.

“He would give me all his horses to ride. It was funny because we crossed paths at the Ontario airport (in California). He and Bruce Headley were coming in from a sale in Kentucky, and I was flying in from Turf Paradise, Phoenix. We all arrived together so I gave Richard a ride back to his house, and the next day he put me on some of his horses. From that day, we clicked and became a very good team.”

Isaias was on board Matlow’s upset stakes winner, Jack o’ Lantern in the 2008 Hollywood Preview Stakes (Grade 3). Trainer Doug O’Neill was another to give him opportunity. Isaias guided exciting Irish import Whatsthescript to stakes victories. Whatsthescript burst on the southern California scene in late 2006, captur-ing the Generous Stakes (Grade 3). Isaias rode him to subsequent wins in the 2007 Pasa-dena Stakes and the 2008 American Handicap (Grade 2) as well as runner-up finishes in the 2007 Crown Royal American Turf Stakes (Grade 2 at Churchill Downs) and in the 2008 Eddie Read Stakes (Grade 2).

In 2007, Whatsthecript helped Isaias register his best ever season in six years, his earnings of $1,849,326 from 48 wins rivaling those of $1,897,021 in 2000 (64 wins) and $2,021,446 the year prior (65 wins). Success on Whatsthescipt had helped open doors

for him with other trainers but the changing face of California racing meant that those oppor-tunities lay elsewhere.

“I left California in 2009 be-cause business had started slow-ing down. A number of trainers that had ridden me were retiring and mounts were drying up. I was not alone. Kent Desormeaux and Alex Solis were also moving out. I thought to myself, I need to try some new places and to

be put on more live horses.”Isaias rode summer meets at

Calder Racecourse in Florida and Lone Star Park in Texas before heading southwest. At Ruidoso Downs, he posted his 1,000th career win, staying on in New Mexico for the winter meets at Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino where initially he had represen-tation from agent Rick Evans then later, Stan Johnson.

After a stellar year in 2010 with a personal best tally of 87 wins, lifting his earnings to more than $1.5 million, the follow-ing 12 months proved to be the exact opposite before he rebounded again in 2012.

“Every track has a different atmosphere, and, on some cir-cuits you feel more encouraged than on others.”

The circuit in New Mexico offered purse-money that en-abled Isaias to maintain a decent living. Emerald Downs, being a West Coast track, is more akin to the California style of racing that he is more comfortable with.

It was fellow jockey Felipe Valdez who put Isaias onto Em-erald Downs.

“I told him that I was think-ing of going to Canada, and he said, why don’t you go to Emer-ald Downs. It is a good place. So he made a couple of phone calls on my behalf and it was Felipe that hooked me up with jockey agent Vito Lucarelli.”

“The management, the facil-ity, the young crowd that comes

out, it is first-class. I feel happy here, and it makes you want to do your best.”

“Right now I am riding as well as I was when I was in California. I just want to try and give 120 percent. Even if I cannot win the race, I am going to battle it out for second, third or fourth. The claiming level of the horse is not important to me. It is more about whether the horse is com-petitive, no matter the level, low claimer or a stakes horse.”

Nonetheless, stakes races are rapidly becoming his forte. His gate-to-wire win on 3-year-old Music of My soul in the Coca-Cola Handicap on June 23 came on the heels of his come-from-behind upset victory on Je-brica in the Budweiser Handicap the previous weekend, showcas-ing versatility and an ability to capture the quality races.

“Of course, I would love to be the leading rider here.”

It is a goal that has taken on extra meaning, given that in May, shortly after Isaias settled in at Emerald Downs, his father, Alfredo -- his Number 1 fan -- passed away.

“I told my dad before he died that I will try to make that happen. He gave me advice that I always follow. He said, what makes a leading rider is to work hard in the mornings and to respect every single trainer, no matter the size of the barn, whether it is five horses or a full stable. I ride hard to the wire, try to be humble, do my best and treat everybody equal.”

Isaias tends to work eight or nine horses each morning, riding anywhere up to that same number in the afternoon. Add in a 45-minute jog on a Thursday morning, and it is clear that fitness is not an issue for him. Neither is his body weight, which, like any other jockey, he is always keeping an eye on.

The notion of Emerald Downs as a track that favors speed does not seem to concern him.

“I’ve always been a good gate rider, and it is important to break well and get a good

position. But the horse and the race will determine whether I take back or not. It is true that sometimes you have to adapt to a track. I always want to have my horse in the best possible posi-tion during the race and then see where it goes from there.”

The jockeys’ standings tell the tale of just where things are going. As of June 28, Isaias is current leading rider at Emerald Downs with 46 wins, scoring at a clip of close to 25 percent, along with 38 seconds and 25 thirds.

Today, one of his biggest motivators is his young boy Ismael.

“It is a lot of work with a young child but his face lights up when I see him in the win-ner’s circle. Of course, I hope to see him there as many times as I can.”

Since Isaias is an outdoors type of guy, Washington state seems to be the ideal setting for him and his young family.

“We love the mountains, the lakes, and we have been camping already. I also love to water ski. When the sun is out, Washington is one of my favorite states to be in.”

With young riders ap-proaching him for advice, young fans wanting his autograph and young horses responding to his depth of horsemanship, it is no wonder that Isaias is feeling on top of the world once again.

In just a few weeks, the 16th annual TQHA Yearling Sale will take place in San Antonio.

Before the first yearling enters the sales ring, there is tremendous work done by breeders across the Lone Star State to match stallions and mares. Long days and nights of foaling season follow.

The Texas Quarter Horse Associa-tion staff works tirelessly to plan the sale, assemble the catalog and attract attention from bidders, not just in Texas, but other regions in the United States. Once the weekend of July 26-27 arrives, the yearlings await their turn to parade in front of prospective buyers. Then the excitement begins.

First sale began in 1998In 1998, the TQHA and Sam Houston

Race Park teamed up to host the first annual TQHA Yearling Sale. The first sale showcased 108 yearlings, with War Colors winning the inaugural TQHA Sale Futurity the following year with a purse of $79,031.

This month, 294 yearlings are up for bid. Each will be eligible to return one year later to compete in trials for the TQHA Sale Fu-turity with the 10 finalists running for their share of an estimated $400,000 purse.

With growth in each year, the sale was expanded to a two-day format in 2007. In 2008, 358 yearlings were listed in the catalog with total sales of $4 million, the highest in its history. The sale topper was hip 170 A, Mr Jess Kue sold to Narcisco Flores for $250,000. The sorrel colt by 1994 Champion 2-year-old Mr Jess Perry out of the Gone to the Man mare, Kool Kue Baby, was consigned by Ramiro Lopez. The following year, the num-ber grew to 385, with $3.4 million in revenue.

The quality has continued each year de-spite the almost insurmountable challenges Texas faces with no legislative movement on VLTs or racinos.

Rob Werstler, TQHA director of racing, knows what Texas is up against with ex-panded gaming in the neighboring states of Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma that fuel very lucrative state-bred programs. But he gives high marks to Texas breeders and horsemen who continue to have allegiance to their home state.

“Our sale was started to offer Texans a place to sell their horses,” said Werstler. “We feel it provides a niche for the Quarter Horse industry and gives breeders an opportunity to show yearlings that might get lost in big-ger sales.”

In 2011, Texas race dates were amended with summer Quarter Horse racing shifting to Retama Park. A search for a new venue in the San Antonio area was spearheaded by TQHA president Melissa Tiner and sale chair-man W.B. Jones and a three-member sale committee. Their selection, the Exposition Hall at the Freeman Arena in San Antonio has been well received by both consignors and bidders.

“Our sale attracts a close-knit group of great people,” states Werstler. “The new venue is beautiful; completely cov-ered with nice stalls. With the heat and humidity in Texas, it’s nice to be in a well air-conditioned facility.”

Preparing horses for the saleThere is considerable work involved

in readying yearlings for the sale, and few know the ropes better than Roger Daly. His center, located in Aubrey, Texas, serves as a hub for prepping hundreds of horses each year. Yearlings are shipped to him 90 days in advance of a sale to get fit and sale-ready. His staff works with the young horses to get them accustomed to walking with a handler and to stand quietly.

“I like my horses to be physically fit and equip them with front shoes,” explains Daly. “We always ship in a couple of days before the sale to get the horses settled.”

Breeders are charged a flat fee or 5 per-cent of the sale price, and many prominent Texans, including AQHA champion breeder Bobby D. Cox, use Daly’s services. Since 1975, Daly has readied both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses for major sales in the United States, and gives high marks to the TQHA Yearling Sale.

“The TQHA sale has produced some really nice horses,” said Daly. “You can never predict what they will bring, but we enjoy getting them ready and sending them off to their new ZIP code.”

one of the biggest consignors since the TQHA Sale began 16 years ago, and will send 60 horses for the 2013 sale.

The Granada Farms stallion roster includes Hiclass La Jolla, Pool, Dealagame, Red Oak Special and 2004 AQHA Champion 2-year-old, Azoom, who returned to Texas this year.

Eller and his staff prepare yearlings for all the major sales in the country, and like Daly, figures in a 90-day time period to pre-pare. Granada Farms makes all the arrange-ments prior to, during and after the sale.

“We spend a lot of time to get them to handle well and look good,” Eller said.

Eller concedes that the Heritage Place and Ruidoso Select sales have bigger num-bers than the TQHA sale, but he respects the history and quality of the Texas sale graduates.

“Despite tough times in Texas, breed-ers are loyal and each year, horses come out of the TQHA sale and go on to make their mark nationally,” Eller said. “The TQHA staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable.”

While Granada Farms, Bobby Cox and Burnett Family/6666 Ranch all contribute consistently large numbers, the success of the TQHA Sale depends on support from breeders all over Texas.

“Smaller breeders, like RC Running Horses, have been big supporters, and last year, Bob and Jerry Gaston and Bielau Oaks consigned the only First Down Dash year-lings we have ever had,” said Werstler.

Bidding wars spice up the actionOf course after the foals arrive, the

papers are filed, the catalog has been printed and the yearlings shipped to the sale ground, the true excitement builds. Horse-men will admit they have a “ballpark” price in mind, both for selling and buying, but the unexpected is what makes most sales interesting.

Eller recounts a story about Jen Tilly, a Dashin Bye filly out of the Vital Sign mare Diamonds for Toni. Bred by Kelly Bode, Eller estimated that the filly would bring $40,000 to $50,000, but a bidding war ensued and the gavel closed at $100,000.

“All it takes is two people who really want a horse,” said Eller. “Our average sale price is $10,000. Jen Tilly was a nice surprise at $100,000.”

AQHA past president and TQHA Breeder of the Year, Jerry Windham is one of the most respected breeders and Quarter Horse owners in the country. Azoom and Jess Zoomin are just two of his standouts sold in TQHA Yearling Sale. Windham has seen his

share of bidding wars and chalks it up to the passion Quarter Horse folks have for getting the big score.

“You could approach a horsemen and tell them you have a good investment op-portunity for them in the $100,000 range,” explains Windham. “They will tell you they need to see the research and have time to look it over. But get them in a sale, bidding on a horse they really want, and they can spend six figures in a matter of minutes.”

Success stories aboundThe TQHA Yearling Sale boasts countless

graded stakes winners, but two sale gradu-ates, Oak Tree Special and Azoom, have made their mark nationally in the Quarter Horse industry.

Oak Tree Special was purchased by owner Raul Rubalcava at the 2001 TQHA Yearling Sale for just $8,000. Rubalcava recalls what impressed him about Oak Tree Special as a yearling.

“His mama qualified for the All Ameri-can, so I thought he was a pretty good colt,” said Rubalcava. “He looked heavy, pretty stocky; that’s what I liked about the horse.”

Oak Tree Special was a standout throughout his career, winning 16 of his 24 starts and earning $628,470 in purses. He was honored as AQHA World Champion and


top Three-Year Colt. Texas horseman Bobby Mar-

tinez trained Oak Tree Special and has fond memories of the accomplished champion.

“After his first out, we knew he was a runner,” recalled Mar-tinez. “He was a real easygoing colt, in the barn, hauling, even

going onto the racetrack.”Oak Tree Special, who was

retired at the end of 2004, has produced some significant offspring, most notably AQHA world champion Cold Cash 123 and multiple-graded stakes winners, Acorn, Send Me a Candy Tree and Coors Select.

Azoom was bred in Texas by Jerry Windham and purchased at the 2003 TQHA Yearling Sale for $62,000 by Enrique Carrion of Veracruz, Mexico. He began his career in Mexico, winning four races in Mexico City before Carrion sent him to trainer Frank Cavazos at Sam Houston Race Park. With regular rider, Rodrigo Vallejo, Azoom captured two Grade 1 futurities at Sam Houston Race

Park, the $283,422 TQHA Sale Futurity (RG1) and the $350,000 Sam Houston Futurity (Grade 1). He not only won that stakes in convincing fashion, he set a new track record of :19.574 for the distance of 400-yards. He also captured the Texas Classic Futu-rity (Grade 1) and retired to stud

with record of 11 wins from 14 starts and earnings of $738,136.

“He’s just a freak, I guess,” Cavazos said when asked to de-scribe Azoom. “There’s not many colts out there that can run that fast.”

Minimal investments reap big dividends

The sale graduates are all eligible to compete in the TQHA Sale Futurity, and quite a few jubilant owners have celebrated not only winning the trophy, but getting a sensational return on their investment.

Ed Peters spotted Dirt Track Date in the 2008 TQHA Yearling Sale. He liked her conforma-tion and knew that her sire, Hotdoggin, was blazing fast. He bid $6,800 and, one year later, celebrated with 50 of his clos-est friends as his filly won the $372,662 TQHA Sale Futurity. The winner’s share was $165,834.

In July 2007, Texas horseman Jim D. Pitts attended the TQHA Yearling Sale with his wife, Dena. She spotted a sorrel colt sired by Jody O Toole, and the Pitts made the winning bid of $18,000. One year later, their colt, Jodys Money Pop rewarded them handsomely, surging to the wire of the $418,984 TQHA Sale Futurity. It was the first big score for trainer Trey Wood, who is quickly be-coming one of the top condition-ers in Quarter Horse racing.

“My wife found him and told me we’d better buy him, so we did,” said winning owner Pitts.

Earlier this year, The Kat in the Hat, who was purchased for just $4,000 in the 2012 TQHA Yearling Sale by Texas horse-man, Jose Espinosa, captured the $75,690 John Deere Texas Juvenile Challenge. Bred by Sherrie Morace, the son of Red Oak Special has won two of his three starts and will run in trials for the TQHA Sale Futurity.

Big weekend for Texas Quarter Horse racing

The weekend festivities for the TQHA Yearling Sale begin on Thursday, July 25, when AQHA

Bank of America Racing Chal-lenge and Cooper’s BBQ host a free consignor and buyer barbe-cue at 5 p.m.

On Friday, July 26, Hip numbers 1 through 147 will be offered beginning at 11 a.m. The sale is free and open to the public. Sale patrons are encour-aged to attend the TQHA Texas Summer Showdown, a series of five Texas-bred stakes races, at Retama Park on Friday evening. First post is set for 6:45 p.m.

Saturday’s sale gets un-derway at 11 a.m. with hip numbers 148 through 294 pass-ing through the sale ring. On Saturday evening, Retama Park will host the TQHA Sale Futurity (RG2), with an estimated purse of $400,000, the $75,000-added Retama Park Derby (Grade 3) and trials for the John Deere Retama Park Juvenile Challenge.

Progeny of noted stallions Tres Seis, Pyc Paint Your Wagon, Azoom, Ragazzo, Corona Cartel and Jess Zoomin are among the yearlings up for bids in 2013. New sires, including One Fa-mous Eagle and Jet Black Patriot will also be represented.

It will be a thrill to see which of the yearlings purchased at last year’s TQHA Yearling Sale will emerge victorious in the 2013 TQHA Sale Futurity. In each of the previous editions, extraordi-nary finals have been contested with joyous celebrations shared by the breeder, owner, trainer and jockey. And with rare excep-tions, the winner was purchased at a very modest price.

“Our sale always offers incredible value,” states Werstler. “We have seen pretty nice horses go for less than $10,000 and win a $400,000 futurity.”

Martha Claussen has been prominent in the Texas racing industry since 1997 as a publicist, writer and handicapper.

Funds needed to help horse owners when disaster strikes

When tornadoes ripped through Oklahoma in May, the Women’s Horse Industry Network started immedi-ately raising funds to help. Within 10 days they raised more than $6,000. The money raised has been going to the horse industry owners who not only lost their homes, but also their beloved horses, their trucks, their tack and everything they used to operate their horse industry business. Some were race horse trainers, others were breeders and stables. They are now faced with having to rebuild their entire horse industry business from scratch. Most were not insured for their horses or horse business items. And, they are also faced with having to put food on the table, pay the mortgage, the phone bills, etc. without having an income to do it. This is an ongoing fundraising effort and any donation you can make will make a world of difference to these horse industry people. Please support this worthy cause. www.horseindustrydisasternetwork.com.

JULY 1, 2013Ruidoso Downs, NMRacing Free team poses industry challenge

Racing Free is quickly becoming a familiar name within the racing industry. The word is spreading quickly, but support is still needed in all areas to be able to fund the rewarding of own-ers that stand against performance-enhancing drugs in racing. With over 200 member-horses and close to 60 reward checks paid out, owners are definitely reaping the benefits of “racing free”. The organization has also seen several new Cor-porate Sponsorships come in to assist in these substantial monetary rewards.

“We are making statements and always looking at how we can make a difference” said Director of Marketing, Danielle Bryan. “Our Team is doing everything we can, and visiting with everyone we can, to let racing participants know there is a positive future for this sport. But we need your help.”.

For the month of July, the Racing Free Team has set a goal of 200+ new member-horses and breeding incentive program horses enrolled. With new increased support from Canterbury Park, Retama Park, Sam Houston Race Park and Prairie Meadows, the goal is likely within reach. For every horse enrolled in the month of July, the owner will be eligible for a drawing for a free Rac-ing Free membership at the end of the month.

“The industry needs to start being bold and joining together for the long haul. This is just another way to reward the good with good.” claimed Leslie Mckinney, Co-founder of Racing Free. “So much support and excitement from the racing industry within our inaugural year proves that those involved are no longer taking a back seat. People have been looking for some hope and encouragement and Racing Free has made that possible. Those that are playing by the rules and caring for the animals properly, are proud to be a part of this movement for the future of racing.”

JUNE 30, 2013Cypress, CAEkins saddles 1,000th Quarter Horse winner at Los Alamitos

Trainer Denny Ekins saddled his 1,000th Quarter Horse winner at Los Alamitos courtesy of Stanley Watkins’ Sassytacs in the second race on Sunday at Los Alamitos.

“I’ve enjoyed a tremendous career,” Ekins

17-day State Fair meet.Ruidoso Downs General Manager

Shaun Hubbard announced the upcoming trials for this year’s Rainbow Futurity will be run over two days instead of the usual one day marathon session. The three major futu-rities now attract so many horses that hav-ing as many as 24 or 25 trials is not unusual.

Hubbard said splitting the trials into two days, should diminish some of the weather-related factors that can influence which horses qualify and which don’t. For example, over the course of running more than 20 trials in a single day, the wind and track conditions can change dramatically over the eight to 10 hours it takes to run the

trial races. The field for the futurity finals is based

strictly on the times posted by each horse. This year, the five fastest horses from each day will make up the 10-horse field for the Rainbow. The same format will likely be used for the All American Futurity trials in August.

Pete Herrera is a for-mer AP sportswriter and now freelance journalist who covered sports and news for 39 years. His credits include four Summer Olympics and coverage of 40 All American Futuri-ties from 1968 to 2008.

said. “I’m grateful to have trained so many nice horses going back to the outstanding Tolltac, who is the horse that helped me reached new heights at Los Alamitos many years ago. The great thing when I look back is having the pleasure to train horses for so many great own-ers like Legacy Ranch, Mueller Racing and other outstanding people.”

Ridden by Carlos Huerta, Sassytacs is a 2-year-old filly by Tres Seis. She won the 300-yard race at odds of 30-1 in a time of :15.601.

Ekins’ top runners over the years have included the likes of millionaire and multiple AQHA Champion Ocean Runaway, 2003 AQHA Distance Champion Sterling Sport, 1983 AQHA Champion 2-Year-Old Colt Tolltac and multiple major futurity winner Finding Nemo. Ekins also saddled World Champion Cold Cash 123 to vic-tory in the Go Man Go Handicap last year. Other of his top stakes winners over the years include Not For Long, Waverino and Tolls Touch.

JUNE 29, 2013Ruidoso Downs, NMPurses up 71% for trials contested at Ruidoso Downs

Beginning with the two days of trials to the all-time record Grade 1, $1 million Rainbow Futurity Thursday (July 4) and Friday (July 5), all trial races will have a 71-percent increase, up to $6,000 from the current $3,500 purses.

The purses for the trials on Saturday (July 6) to the record-setting Grade 1, $1 million (est.) Rainbow Derby will also be boosted to $6,000.

This increase in all trials includes all Thor-oughbred trials and all New Mexico-bred trials – every trial race at Ruidoso Downs.

“The horsemen support our races and build these races to record levels,” said general man-ager Shaun Hubbard. “This is another way for us to show our appreciation to these horsemen who support our races year-in and year-out.”

After the Rainbow Futurity and Rainbow Derby trials, the upcoming trial races are the Zia Futurity trials, Zia Derby trials, Rio Grande Se-norita Futurity trials, Rio Grande Senor Futurity trials, John Deere Ruidoso Downs Juvenile Chal-lenge trials, All American Futurity trials and All American Derby trials. All these trials will carry $6,000 purses.

The Grade 1 All American Futurity will have a record purse of $2.6 million while the Grade 1 All American Derby is heading towards an estimated $2.8 million purse. The All American Futurity has the largest purse of any 2-year-old race in North America and the All American Derby promises to be the all-time richest Quar-ter Horse race.

2013 class inducted into Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of FameBy Ty Wyant

Owner/breeder Bobby Cox, trainer James McArthur, jockey Roy Brooks and leading sire Corona Cartel comprised the 2013 class inducted into the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame on Friday night in the track’s All American Turf Club.

The non-profit Ruidoso Downs Racehorse

Hall of Fame is located on the track’s second floor and admission is free. It is open during racing hours.

Cox is a two-time champion owner and has campaigned many of his top horses at Ruidoso Downs. In 2004, he had a tremendous sum-mer at Ruidoso Downs when he won the All American Derby and the Rainbow Derby with Brimmerton and took the Rainbow Futurity with Zoomin with Ease. Then, in 2009, he took the Ruidoso Futurity with Zoomin With Ease’s son All About Ease.

McArthur has been a nationally important trainer for four decades. In 1974, he won the All American Futurity with Walter Merrick’s home-bred Easy Date and then took her to California the next year to win the Champion of Champi-ons. She was the first horse to win Quarter Horse racing’s two most prestigious races and is still one of only two horses to pull off the remark-able feat. McArthur also trained Eastex to win the 1984 All American Futurity and he retired as the sport’s all-time leading money earner with over $1.8 million and is still ranked in the top-10 all-time leading money earners.

McArthur maintains a racing stable on the New Mexico circuit.

Brooks, 71, is an amazing story of longevity. He started riding in 1966 and was still winning major stakes races. Last year, he won the won the Heritage Place Derby for the second-straight year. Last summer at Ruidoso Downs, he rode Priceless Feature in the Grade 1, $823,000 Rainbow Derby and had the lead until getting caught in the last stride by champion Ochoa and finishing second by a head.

Corona Cartel has been highly successful as both a racehorse and a sire. As a 2-year-old, he won the Grade 1 Kindergarten and the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Million Futurity. Then he became a breeding phenomenon. He is one of only three stallions to sire the earners of more than $41 mil-lion and the other two stallions, First Down Dash and Mr Jess Perry, are member of the Racehorse Hall of Fame.

A son of champion racehorse and champi-on broodmare Corona Chick, Corona Cartel joins his dam in the hall of fame and they are the only mother-son inductees.

The Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame 2013 inductees include, from left, owner Celina Molina and trainer Jaime Gomez representing Corona Cartel, owner and breeder Bobby Cox,

“It was a fun and celebratory evening for everyone and, once again, the Hall of Fame inductions are a highlight of the Ruidoso sum-mer,” said Hall of Fame curator Ty Wyant. “This class is comprised of tremendous representatives of our sport. They are all so deserving.”

JUNE 28, 2013Auburn, WAAnne Sanguinetti makes big impression in first full season at Emerald Downs

For jockeys, it’s never easy acquiring new business in a sport known for its strong loyalty and fierce competition. Anne Sangui-netti, however, has already started to turn heads and make favorable impressions in her first full season at Emerald Downs.

Born in Michigan but raised in the Bay Area, Sanguinetti has thrived in her new role as first-call rider for leading trainer and fellow Emerald Downs’ newcomer Jeff Metz. Both are hoping to become mainstays here, but it can be consid-erably more difficult for a jockey to gain momentum in new surround-ings, since returning riders normally have inroads to the bigger barns.

Together, however, Metz and Sanguinetti have benefited from each other’s open books to start the season. In fact, they lead all jockey-trainer combinations with 15 wins at the meet and could catch trainer Tim McCanna and jockey Ricky Fra-zier who combined to win 35 races in 2009. Metz, who sits atop the trainers’ standings with 19 (Thor-oughbred) wins, said Sanguinetti has been great to work with.

“Anne is such a pleasure to have around the barn,” Metz said. “I didn’t know anybody up here, and I wanted somebody in my corner. She’s been terrific.”

Sanguinetti’s hot start has parlayed itself into new business with other Emerald Downs trainers. Last week, for example, Sanguinetti rode four winners for four different trainers en route to her first Jockey of the Week selection. The 32-year-old pilot enters the week sixth in the standings with 19 wins, and she has 13 mounts scheduled with seven different trainers this week. Modest and soft-spoken (although her win-ning song is Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin) Sanguinetti has begun to see the results of her success.

“Any time you go some place new, you have to prove yourself,” she said. “Now I’m starting to work for some other barns and trainers are giving me a shot on their horses.”

Sanguinetti’s foray into race riding began in 2004 when she gal-loped horses for renowned trainer and former Eclipse Award-winning rider Wesley Ward at Hollywood Park. Simultaneously, Sanguinetti studied Economics at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. Insistent that she turn professional, Ward pleaded with Sanguinetti to start her riding career while still in school.

“He kept begging me and beg-ging me to ride in a race,” Sangui-netti said. “I told him that I have to graduate before I ride a horse.”

JUNE 16, 2013Aurora, COFrazier wins 2,000th career Thoroughbred race

Jockey Don Lee Frazier reached a milestone on Sunday at Arapahoe Park with his 2,000th career Thoroughbred victory aboard Fast But Furious in the first race. Frazier, 53, piloted 2-year-old first-time starter Fast But Furious to a 4 1/2-length win in a 5-furlong maiden race.

“It’s a great accomplishment and not many riders have done it,” Frazier said. “It’s a highlight to reach the 2,000. The highlight of my career is to be able to ride some nice horses for some decent people and to bring thrills and be part of mak-ing their dreams come true.”

Frazier began his career as a jockey in 1977 in Washington and has ridden in more than 20,000 races at what he says is “pretty much every racetrack west of the Missis-sippi and then some.” Frazier said collecting his 2,000th victory was made even more special because it took place on Father’s Day.

“They are my inspiration,” Frazier said about his family. Frazier and his wife, Darcy, will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary this fall. They have two sons, Thomas, a recent college graduate, and Ronald. Frazier currently rides in Col-orado, Nebraska, and New Mexico but takes winters off to spend time with his family.

As one career reached a mile-stone, another got underway as Fast But Furious’ trainer Justin Gleason collected his first career victory as a trainer.

JUNE 14, 2013Auburn, WANoosa Beach, Ricky Frazier to retire in joint ceremony July 3

Two of Emerald Downs’ all-time greats – superstar gelding Noosa Beach and jockey Ricky Frazier – will be honored in a joint retirement

ceremony at Emerald Downs on Wednesday, July 3.

Noosa Beach will parade one last time before his numerous fans, and afterward the gelding will join Frazier in a final visit to the Win-ner’s Circle. In addition, Frazier will autograph full color Noosa Beach posters given away free to the first 7,500 fans through the gates.

The track’s all-time leader with 11 stakes wins, Noosa Beach recently sustained a minor ankle injury and trainer Doris Harwood and owner Jeff Harwood decided to call off the comeback. The now 7-year-old gelding pretty much rewrote the record book while winning consecu-tive Horse of the Meeting titles in 2010 and 2011. At the pinnacle of his career, Noosa Beach won six consecutive stakes races includ-ing a dominant victory with Frazier aboard in the 2010 Longacres Mile.

“There’s hardly words to describe what Noosa Beach has meant to both Jeff and myself,” Doris Harwood said. “His nickname at the barn was Elvis, and for two years he was the king.”

Frazier is officially hanging up his riding boots following a 30-year career in which he rode 3,469 win-ners, including 886 wins and five riding titles at Emerald Downs. The 48-year-old Arkansan was unable to get medical clearance after suffering a head injury at the 2010 Fresno meeting.

“I didn’t really want to retire but had to face the fact that it’s time,” Frazier said. “My quality of life is fine, but apparently this type of injury takes time. Time to get it behind me, focus on the next chapter.

“Noosa Beach wasn’t ready to retire either but the fact that we get to do it together is great.”

First post is 4:30 p.m. on July 3, with the annual Fireworks Spectacu-lar scheduled following the races.

JUNE 13, 2013Oklahoma City, OKG3 Oklahoma Derby tops Remington Park season

Remington Park’s 25th An-niversary rolls on in 2013 with the Oklahoma Derby, returned to graded status this season, leading the Thor-oughbred Season stakes schedule.

The Oklahoma Derby regains a Grade 3 ranking this year for the first time since 2004. Contested at 1-1/8 miles, this year marks the 25th run-ning of the event, first won by Clever Trevor in 1989. Politicallycorrect scored the Oklahoma Derby in 2012.

The Remington Park season closes with 2-year-olds featured on Sunday, Dec. 15. The $250,000 Springboard Mile is the top stakes offering for the freshmen runners. The Springboard caps the 2-year-old stakes racing triple that begins with the Kip Deville at six furlongs in Sep-tember. The $100,000 Clever Trevor at seven furlongs on Nov. 8 is next, then

the Springboard as the finale. Texas Bling captured the 2012 Springboard at outlandish odds of 128-1.

JUNE 10, 2013Portland, ORPortland Meadows announces 2013/14 live racing schedule

Summer racing is back at Port-land Meadows! Building upon our

successful inaugural summer race meet, opening day for the 2013/14 live race meet is set for Sunday, July 21.

The 2013/2014 race meet will cover 49 live race dates (pending Oregon Racing Commission (ORC) approval) with racing on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons. Racing will begin with a one day a week schedule before introducing a second live day in mid August. Live racing at Portland Meadows will continue through closing day – Sun-day, Jan. 26, 2014.

In addition to opening day, two other “can’t miss” days of the meet will be Portland Mile Day – A special holiday Monday (Labor Day) card of racing Monday, Sept. 2 – and Or-egon Championship Day – Sunday, Nov. 17.

Post time in July through Sep-tember will be 1:45 p.m. each race day. In October through January, post time will be 12 p.m.

As a result in the reduction in live race days, and the financial con-tribution of the Oregon Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Associa-tion (OHBPA), purses will be raised significantly over the previous race meet. In the 2012 Summer/Fall race meet the bottom purse was $3,000 ($1,600 claiming level). The bottom purse of the 2013/14 race meet will be $5,000 ($2,000 claiming level) which represents a remarkable 67 percent increase meet over meet.

“Summer racing saw tens of thousands new people be intro-duced to live racing at Portland Meadows and the horse racing industry in Oregon,” said GM Will Alempijevic.

“By working with our partners in racing, and learning from last year and making a few adjustments we have built what we believe will be the groundwork for a strong and stable industry going forward.”

JUNE 3, 2013Oklahoma City, OKCarter and Willis add to mounting title totals, Helton scores first Remington Park Season award

The Remington Park 2013 American Quarter Horse & Mixed-breed Season closed on Sunday with familiar faces atop the jockey and trainer standings, with a new-comer in front for the owners.

Jockey G.R. Carter and trainer Eddie Willis once again capped Remington Park seasons with awards for leading their respective standings. The newcomer to the seasonal cham-pionship podium was owner Wade Helton of Pampa, Texas, who claimed his first title in Oklahoma City.

G.R. Carter – leading jockeyRacking up 54 wins from 380

mounts, G.R. Carter finished 12 wins ahead of Jimmy Brooks to land his 16th Remington Park title as leading jockey. It is the 10th year in a row that Carter has won or shared the riding title.

The Oklahoma City resident and native of Pawhuska, Okla. also finished second 65 times and third another 62 times to post a 48 percent in-the-money rate from his total mounts. Carter also led all rid-ers in overall mount earnings with $1,383,376.

Brooks, from Blanchard, Okla., won 42 races for second in the standings and was also second in mount earnings with $1,207,247. His biggest win of the season came aboard Priceless Feature in the Grade 1, $250,000 Remington Park Championship on June 1.

Russel Hadley enjoyed his best year at Remington Park with 32 wins to finish third in the standings.

Eddie Willis – Jack Brooks award winner

Eddie Willis captured his eighth Remington Park training title, and fourth straight, to win the Jack Brooks Award that goes to the lead-ing conditioner.

A resident of Caney, Okla., Willis saddled an even 50 winners from 228 starters, good for a win rate of 22%. He also led all trainers in earnings with $1,528,184. The top wins for Willis on the year came with Coronado Cartel winning the $720,000 Remington Park Futurity in April and Priceless Feature in the Grade 1, $250,000 Remington Park Championship.

Trainer Luis Villafranco set a new Remington Park season record for most stakes wins with nine while saddling 31 winners overall. The Wapanucka, Okla. conditioner used the big race victories to post earnings of $1,007,098, joining Willis as the only trainers above a million-dollars. Villafranco’s top runner was Brace For Bernal, the impressive winner of both the $252,000 Remington Park Derby and $285,000 Heritage Place Derby.

Clint Crawford of Sallisaw, Okla. was third in the trainer standings with 26 wins.

The Jack Brooks Award is named in honor of the Blanchard, Okla. native who won the All Ameri-can Futurity, American Quarter Horse racing’s biggest event, eight times. Brooks also won three train-ing titles at Remington Park.

Wade Helton – leading ownerThe Pampa, Texas horsemen

had his most successful venture to Remington Park, seeing his runners win 12 races to gain his first local owner title. Helton’s top runner this season was Llano Cartel who won four races, including the $50,00 Jack Brooks Stakes on May 26.

Reliance Ranches of Llano, Texas was second in wins with nine but did finish atop the standings for money earned with $462,835 thanks to their Coronado Cartel win-ning the $720,000 Remington Park Futurity in April.

JUNE 1, 2013Cypress, CACooper joins the 1,300th win club at Los Alamitos Race Course

John Cooper became the fourth trainer at Los Alamitos to win 1,300 Quarter Horse races at Los Alamitos Race Course after saddling Anna MacPherson’s Annas Babe to victory in Friday’s eighth race.

Cooper joins Blane Sch-

vaneveldt, Paul Jones and Charles Treece as the only trainers to reach the 1,300 win mark. Cooper’s top sprinters over the years have included champions Separatist, Sign Of Lanty and Chingaderos. He’s won 84 stakes races in his career, the third most ever at Los Alamitos.

Ridden by Gregorio Arriaga from post number five, Annas Babe won the $12,010 allowance test for 3-year-olds and upward sprinters in a 330-yard time of :16.85. This was her second win from her last three starts. She also won against allowance rivals back on January 5. Friday’s win was her first start since Jan. 27. RM Looking For Fame, the third in last year’s Sweetwater Futu-rity and fourth in last month’s James Smith Memorial Handicap, finished second while recent allowance win-ner Easyist ran third.

A second allowance event and a pair of events for freshman sprint-ers also highlighted Friday’s racing program. The richest race of the night was the $14,900 fourth race – an allowance event for 3-year-olds that featured nine solid sprinters. David Brownell and Paul Jones’ Stel Redneck came away victorious in this allowance event, as the Stel Co-rona gelding left quickly from post eight on the way to a half length victory in a 330-yard time of :16.705.

Like Annas Babe, Stel Redneck was picking up his second win from his last three starts. The consistent sophomore has now hit the board in five of his last six outings. For his career, Stel Redneck has finished in the money in 10 of 16 outings. Cesar De Alba piloted the Jones-trained runner, who earlier this season won a trial to the El Primero Del Ano Derby. Line Slinger, who finished fifth in last year’s Golden State Juve-nile Stakes, crossed the wire second with recent allowance runner-up Featuring Habits finishing third.

Ed Allred’s swept the two events for juveniles as his Kiddy Up filly Sadie Sis won the opener for 2-year-olds while his gelding More Than Wild won the evening’s third race while posting identical times of :15.566 from post number one in their 300-yard races. Sadie Sis showed a lot promise in her career debut after finishing third to Allred’s Quirky and eventual Kindergarten Futurity runner-up Hot Capuccino on April 12. Sadie Sis then com-peted in a trial to the Kindergarten that produced four of the 10 finalists headed by trial winner Duke Of Carter and also Hot Capuccino. Sa-die Sis was all business in her third career start, as she posted a half-length victory in a time of :15.566 from post number one. Gregorio Ar-

Allred’s silks were back in the winner’s circle in the third race after the Connie Hall-trained More Than Wild won his racing debut by a head over Ron Hartley’s Moonist. More Than Wild came into this race after posting a 220-yard bullet drill of :12.30 on May 11. He also posted a :12.40 clocking onApril 20. Alex Bau-tista rode the son of Stel Corona.

Jockey Raul Valenzuela wins fi rst race at Los Al, plus two more

After waiting nearly a month for his fi rst riding victory at Los Alamitos Race Course, jockey Raul Valen-zuela had a night to cher-ish after pick-ing up his fi rst three Quarter Horse wins at the Orange County oval - all in a span of about 75 minutes on Saturday night. The 19-year-old pilot enjoyed his fi rst ever win here after guiding Felix A. Gonzalez’s Ivory Knight in the sixth race before adding back-to-back victories in the fi nal two races of the night.

Following his fi rst win at Los Alamitos with the 3-year-old gelding Ivory Knight, Valenzuela was back in the winner’s circle in the eighth with Robert Parra’s Check Out the Mo-ment. He completed his riding triple a few moments later after guiding S.A.M. Ranch LLC’s Barrel Babe to an upset victory at 30-1 odds in the ninth race of the evening.

The young jockey began rid-ing at Los Alamitos in early May after spending the fi rst two years of his riding career at Turf Paradise and Yavapai Downs in Arizona. For young Raul, winning at Los Alamitos was a dream coming true.

“I would watch the Los Alamitos races on TV and think that hopefully one day I would make it there,” Va-lenzuela said.“Riding at Los Alamitos was my target from the get go.”

Valenzuela made his career de-but as a 17-year-old and he quickly made his mark by winning more than 40 races in Arizona’s Quarter Horse racing circuit. His father, Raul Valenzuela Sr., is a trainer in Arizona so a career in the sport was always on young Raul’s mind.

“My dad was here tonight,” Va-

lenzuela added.“He congratulated me after my (fi rst) win.” This is the result of a lot of hard work and it feels great to have done it. Rodrigo Aceves was a jockey that I always looked up to and it’s great to compete against the top class riders here.”

With three victories to his name now, Valenzuela’s goal for the rest of the 2013 season is a simple one.

“Keep winning races here,” he quickly added.

With three wins from 16 mounts, the young pilot is off to a good start.

Houston, TXThe sun is shining on Texas horseman Jose S. Espinosa By Martha Claussen

2013 is shaping up nicely for Texas horseman Jose S. Espinosa. On May 18, he was honored as Owner of the Meet at Sam Houston Race Park. He had exceptional suc-cess with his 2-year-olds, including The Kat in the Hat who captured the $75,690 John Deere Texas Juvenile Challenge (Grade 3) and Trace Seis, the fastest qualifi er for the $452,800 Sam Houston Futurity (Grade 2).

On Saturday, June 1, the Mis-sion, Texas resident made national headlines when Big Biz Perry was the upset winner of the $1,075,260 Heritage Place Futurity (Grade 1). The 2-year-old daughter of Mr Jess Perry broke her maiden in March at Sam Houston Race Park, but failed to qualify for the Sam Houston Futurity. That result did not dampen the enthusiasm that Espinosa had for his fi lly.

“She had a bad break from the gate in Houston,” said Espinosa. “I knew she was a really good fi lly. We had paid her into the Heritage Place Futurity, so I sent her to Trey (Wood) two weeks ago.”

Wood is one of the rising stars in the Quarter Horse industry. He had won the 2012 edition of the Heritage Place with BP Cartels Alibi and is the conditioner of Sam Hous-ton Race Park’s 2013 Horse of the Meet, Especially Tres.

“We really didn’t know her until she got here,” Wood noted. “Jose sent her to us from Sam Houston, and we didn’t have her in Houston. She looked good but didn’t get away in the consolation there (in April). She got away super-good in the fi nal and that’s what won the race for her.”

Ridden by Cipriano Vidana, Big Biz Perry was away at 29-1 odds and paid $60.80 for the win, defeating fastest qualifi er and even-money

favorite Hes Relentless. The Judd Kearl-trained Wagon Tales ran third.

Big Biz Perry set a new stakes record in the Heritage Place Futurity by covering the 350 yards in :17.310 seconds over a fast track. A Texas-bred by Burnett Ranches, Big Biz Perry is by Mr Jess Perry from the Shazoom mare Big Bizooms. Espi-nosa purchased her at the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale for just $20,000; her pay check on Saturday night was $383,309; her lifetime earnings after four starts increased to $393,947.

“I was prepared to spend up to $40,000,” admitted Espinosa. “I trained her mama (Big Bizooms) and really had my eye on the fi lly in the sale book. I knew the pedigree was there.”

Espinosa was elated with the win, which capped off a very tumul-tuous weekend. He had driven to Oklahoma City on Friday, arriving at 5 p.m., just when the second round of tornados besieged the area.

“We arrived at the hotel, and they immediately sent everyone into the basement,” said Espinosa. “I’ve been through hurricanes in Texas, but this was my fi rst experience with a tornado. It was terrifying. We were in the bunkers, and all I could do was worry about my horses.”

Fortunately Remington Park was not in the direct path, and despite heavy rain, no damage oc-curred. They ran the fi rst two races of the Friday night card, before cancel-ing the remainder of the evening. The weather on Saturday was per-fect for the running of their “Mega-Card”, which included the Heritage Place Futurity and the $250,000 Remington Park Invitational.

Espinosa returned to Texas, where he not only owns and trains horses, but runs a tile company. He admits that it took a few days to soak up the experience of winning a million dollar race.

“It fi nally sunk in on Monday,” said Espinosa. “I will never forget the feeling, because in racing you never know if you can do it twice.”

It may very well happen as Big Biz Perry will head to Ruidoso Downs to compete in trials for the All

American Futurity on Aug. 15. The ten fastest qualifi ers return for the fi nal, valued at $2.6 million on Sept. 2.

Until then, Big Biz Perry will take her place on the AQHA Racing-Horseplayernow.com National Top 10 Poll for 2-year-olds.

MAY 31, 2013Inglewood, CAFlashy Delight gives Espinoza 3,000th victory

Jockey Victor Espinoza earned the 3,000th victory of his career when favored Flashy Delight easily won the fourth race Friday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

The milestone in the $8,000 claimer for older fi llies and mares came nearly 21 years after the 41-year-old native of Mexico City earned his fi rst victory at Hipodromo De Las Americas in his hometown.

A winner of four local riding titles, Espinoza is 12th on the all-time list at Hollywood Park with 928 victories. He ranks eighth with 118 stakes wins.

Dropping in class for Rocking-ham Ranch and trainer Peter Miller after being claimed for $20,000 April 25, Flashy Delight took over the lead approaching the stretch while on the outside and cruised home by eight lengths in the race at seven furlongs over Cushion Track.

The win was the fourth for the 4-year-old Vindication fi lly – all in tandem with Espinoza.

“It was kind of an exciting feeling coming down the stretch, like, ‘Now I did it, 3,000 fi nally,’’’ said Espinoza. “I don’t have to wait another day. You never know, some days you come and feel you have a good chance to win and the horses don’t run But, the last sixteenth of a mile I thought, “Now, it’s done,’ so I can have fun right now.

Espinoza was the second jockey to collect his 3,000th win at the Spring/Summer meet. Rafael Be-jarano reached the milestone May 11 aboard the Bob Baff ert-trained Ondine.

Lighting Regard impressively drew away from a deep fi eld in the Higheasterjet to reg-ister a three-quarter-length win at 10-1 odds over 7-1 outsider Jess Cuervo. Eyein This Fea-ture, sent off at 17-1 odds, fi nished a neck back in third. The $1 trifecta payoff was $2,531.40.

Lighting Regard boosted his record to seven wins from 12 starts with two third-place fi nishes. He was disqualifi ed from the win in the 2012 Desert Classic Futurity at Turf Paradise.

In the Adequan Ruidoso Downs Derby Challenge, the G.R. Carter Jr.-ridden If I Were Famous made an explosive late run to get up and win in :19.416 for the 400 yards.

If I Were Famous, a 20-1 outsider, had a clean break from the gate and was racing in mid-pack while favored Pajarita Sita burst to the lead and appeared to be the winner at the 300-yard mark. She was unable to maintain her momentum and was caught by the top-four fi nishers, led by If I Were Famous.

The Sleepy Gilbreath-trained If I Were Famous won by head over Rockin Disco while Cjs Rocksolid was third. Fourth-place runner Whiteface Eagle made an impressive run from last in the fi rst 100 yards.

A gelding by One Famous Eagle, If I Were Famous won his maiden back in October at Lone Star Park. He was then laid off until re-turning to fi nish third in his Adequan Ruidoso Downs Derby Challenge trial behind Rockin Disco.

JUNE 22, 2013SunRay Park, Farmington, NMAful Alibi scores upset win in Tommy Duke Smith Stakes

Former $10,000 claimer Aful Alibi took a major upswing with an upset win in the $65,000 Tommy Duke Smith Quarter Horse Stakes at SunRay Park and Casino.

Owned and trained by the talented Gabi-no Carillo, Aful Alibi generated a career best performance and confidently handled a high quality group of 3-year-old NM-bred fillies. Un-der leading rider Macario Rodriguez, Aful Alibi roared from an early second place position to a daylight winner in the 400 yard dash. The Genuine Strawfly filly took over from a tiring Sandys Jesse midway through the stretch, and then opened up the throttle for an impressive one length score. The rapidly improving sort caught the distance in a solid 19.535 seconds, good for a 91 speed index.

Let go a just over 6-1 odds, Aful Alibi was coming off two local allowance races where she finished second and third, respectively. Her most recent win came in a $12,500 condi-tioned claiming race at Sunland Park on March 19. Saturday’s effort was a gem for the newly crowned stakes winner. She returned $14.20 to

her local backers.Aful Alibi improved her record to 3 wins,

2 seconds and 3 thirds from 10 starts. She earned a $39,000 windfall from the Tommy Duke Smith victory.

Macario Rodriguez will be the runaway leading jockey at SunRay Park and Casino for the second straight year.

12-1 outsider Slr Jessie Girl came in second place and completed a nice $2 exacta worth $90.60. The runner-up finished three parts of a length in front of Afame. The $2 trifecta came back $405.80 richer.

New Mexico Horse Breeders’ Association Stakes and Sunburst Stakes winner Sandys Jesse seem to run out of steam following an alert start. The 4-5 favorite finished a well beaten fifth coming off a game second in the New Mexico Breeders’ Stakes at SunRay Park on May 19.

JUNE 16, 2013SunRay Park, Farmington, NMWiggle Wiggle Wiggle rockets to victory in Four Corners Futurity

Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle remained perfect in three starts and rocketed to victory in the $95,410 Four Corners Futurity at SunRay Park and Casino.

Under jockey Martin Bourdieu, Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle broke fast and gained a stranglehold early on in the 350 yard futurity. The two-year-old daughter of Maknmoves looked like a old pro in the finals increasing the pressure on her rivals down the lane. In the final 50 yards, the well composed filly bumped her winning margin to three parts of a length while under a hand ride. She kept top qualifier Winter Haven at a safe distance throughout the feature. The winning time of 17.362 sec-onds earned a 91 speed index. Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle paid $9.60 to win.

Bourdieu said in the winner’s circle, “I really appreciate the connections and the op-portunity to ride this great filly. She is amazing, a great horse. I felt she could run faster today. She did what she had to in the trials to win. She liked the added competition today and ran even better.”

Trained by the powerful Wesley Giles, Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle becomes the latest Four Corners winner directed by the popular trainer. In 2008, Giles won this event with Go Southern Special. Giles has been a frequent winner of this event.

Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle was very well pre-

Bubba Carver Struttin for Kenzie Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle


pared on Sunday. She came out onto the track looking like a million bucks and was in tremen-dous shape. The confident filly had already won her first two career starts over Farmington soil. The 2013 Four Corners Futurity champion earned $44,843 for owner Jason Giles, son of Wes Giles. It was a big day for the Giles family.

Jason Giles admitted in the winner’s circle that Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle was a terrific Christmas present from his grandmother. This world class Quarter Horse should continue to impress throughout 2013.

Wes Giles conditioned four finalists including third place finisher Westernshines, fourth place finisher Six T Five Roses and the eighth place runner Tresarainbow.

Winter Haven made a strong energy move in the final 100 yards to secure second place. The son of Fdd Dynasty tried his best but could not threaten to the winner. The runner-up was ridden by the meet’s leading rider Macario Rodriguez. He earned $17,174 for owner Nelson Palomo. The runner-up trained by Kristopher Cordova finished a neck in front of Westernshines.

The live racing meet continues on Tues-day at 12:55 p.m. expanded 10-race cards will

be in effect throughout the week. The meet concludes on Sunday, June 23.

JUNE 15, 2013Ruidoso Downs, NMHeza Wild Dragon shows promise with Mountain Top Futurity victory

The Kristopher Cordova-owned and -trained Heza Wild Dragon showed he could have a very lucrative future with a late-running win in the $356,980 Mountain Top Quarter Horse Futurity for New Mexico-breds on Satur-day afternoon at Ruidoso Downs.

The purse for the Mountain Top Futurity sported a 20-percent increase over last year’s running.

“He broke really nice from the gate,” said winning rider Esgar Ramirez. “He had a little stumble at about 100 yards, but picked it up and was really running at the end.”

Heza Wild Dragon was all out to catch Gary Thompson’s Threedeewoodee. The Manuel Gutierrez-ridden gelding bolted to the lead from the inside post position and then drifted out for most of the race. Heza Wild Dragon nailed Threedeewodee at the wire by a nose. It was a neck back to third-place finisher Kaydns Krusader.

A gelding by Genuine Strawfly and Hidden Dragon, Heza Wild Dragon earned $149,953 for racing the 350 yards in :17.326.

Heza Wild Dragon, $15,000 Ruidoso Sale purchase, made his career debut in the Moun-

tain Top trials and impressed with a three-quarter-length win and the second-fastest qualifying time of :17.587 from 10 trials.

“I had him down at Sunland Park for the entire meet and knew he was good from the first time we worked him,” said Cordova. “We just saved him for this race.

“We’ll keep running him against New Mexico-breds and point to the Zia Futurity (on July 28).” He could be an All American Futurity prospect after the Zia Futurity.

Runner-up Threedeewoodee nearly held on to win for trainer Chris Zamora. The Woodbridge-sired gelding was second in the New Mexican Spring Futurity and then won his Mountain Top trial by two-and-three-quarter lengths with the sixth-fastest time of :17.713.

Threedeewodee was a $39,000 Ruidoso Sale yearling purchase from the MJ Farms consignment.

J and M Racing and Farm’s third-place run-ner Kaydns Crusader, also trained by Cordova, is still a maiden after three starts with a close third-place run in the New Mexican Spring Fling Futurity and two second-place trial finishes. The Sixes Royal gelding sold in the Ruidoso Yearling Sale for $17,000.

Times and Ronnie Keller and Ron Brooks’ Unchangeable ran one-two in the third of 14 trials to the Grade 1, $1,111,000 Ed Burke Mil-lion Futurity with the top-two times from 111 entrants on Sunday night at Los Alamitos.

Turbulent Times won the trial by one-half length under Eduardo Nicasio with a time of :17.405 while Unchangeable was second with a :17.487 mark under veteran Eddie Garcia.

Turbulent Times is one of three horses reaching the finals from the Jose De La Torre barn. He also sent out third-fastest qualifier Masherati B and ninth-fastest qualifier Fire Up Willie. A year ago, De La Torre took Ed Burke Million winner One Dashing Eagle to Ruidoso Downs after winning the Ed Burke Million and won the Grade 1, $2.4 million All American Futurity on his way to being honored as world champion.

A son of Furyofthewind, Turbulent Times made his second start in the Ed Burke trials and is now two-for two. He won his maiden effort by a neck on April 26 with a :15.61 time for 300 yards.

“We got him when he was six months old and we’ve always had high hopes for this horse,” said co-owner Avila’s son, Jose. “We would love to see Turbulent Times continue the way he’s going right now. After he won his first race, he has been taking it easy and preparing for these trials.”

Second-fastest qualifier Unchangeable came into the trials as an impressive first-time winner for trainer Orozco Rafael. The Stel Corona gelding from the family of Chickasis dominated his maiden race by one-and-one-quarter lengths with a :15.41 time for the 300 yards.

“We’ve pointed him to this race and he came in very sharp after his maiden win,” said Brenda Schvaneveldt, daughter of the late legendary trainer Blane Schvaneveldt. “Monte (Schvaneveldt) had him at the ranch before he arrived at Los Alamitos. We took our time with him. He went inside a little bit in this race. Tonight was the second time that a horse next to him acted up in the gates and he just stands

there and does not move. He’s very smart and acts like a much older horse. He’s not like most babies in that regard. It’s a great relief to see him qualify.

“(Qualifying) is huge for the barn. We needed it and it’s a great thrill to qualify with a horse owned by Ronnie and Ron. Ronnie is one of dad’s oldest and dearest friends. They have the nicest family. Ronnie trusted us with this horse and it’s great to do well for them,” Schvaneveldt added.

Blane Schvaneveldt won the Ed Burke Futurity (including its predecessors) six times.

Trainer Jaime Gomez sent out fourth-fastest qualifier Docs First Fire and fifth-fastest qualifier She Forgives.

Trainer Paul Jones will be represented in the June 23 finals by seventh-fastest qualifier Foose Is Loose and eighth-fastest qualifier Composed Charisma.

The Ed Burke Million qualifiers are Turbu-lent Times (:17.405), Unchangeable (:17.487), Masherati B (:17.565), Docs First Fire (:17.607), She Forgives (:17.634), Five Bar Cartel (:17.642), Foose Is Loose (:17.655), Composed Charisma (:17.677), Fire Up Willie (:17.680) and Quirky (:17.694).

JUNE 2, 2013SunRay Park, Farmington, NMBet On Ballou sizzles in Jimmy Drake Quarter Horse Stakes

Bet On Ballou, the late blooming 8-year-old, beat a stubborn Wdc Wendys Wine by a nose in a thrilling photo finish. In the process, the new star of the Wes Giles stable ran his 2013 record to a perfect 5 wins from 5 starts. Brimming with confidence, Bet On Ballou pro-duced a late surge to insure the Jimmy Drake title and secure his 12th win from 24 career starts. The gem of perfection raced as the 8-5 favorite and paid $5.40 to win.

Giles saddled three horses in the stakes including stakes stars Miracle Snow and Here Kittykittykitty. He said in the winner’s circle, “He went pretty good today. When a horse like Bet On Ballou gets on a roll like this, they can get a little high on themselves and make a mistake. They don’t think they can get beat. He didn’t make any mistakes today, and we are thankful for the win.”

Bet On Ballou has been sensational all year long. He defeated Stel Gone Corona in the $85,000 Mesilla Valley Speed Handi-cap at Sunland Park last March. The New Mexico-bred son of Sum Fun to Bet has now won two straight in Farmington. He picked up a $39,000 check for the Quarter Circle W Bar LLC. His career bankroll is closing in on $240,000. Jaime Parga Leos rode the popular

winner. The winning time for the 400 yard dash was 19.617 seconds.

The runner-up was coming off a third place finish in the Four Corners Senora Stakes at SunRay Park on April 28. The overachiever was also stakes placed in the Bank of America New Mexico Challenge Championship at Sunland Park on April 7.

Miracle Snow, a veteran stakes winner of over $572,000 ran a courageous race to finish third, beaten only a half-length. Defending champion Klassic Strawfly wound up fourth. Here Kittykittykitty finished in eighth place.

JUNE 30, 2013Arapahoe Park, Aurora, COHezamazing lives up to name in defending Front Range title

Hezamazing continued his amazing career at Arapahoe Park on Sunday by winning the 7-furlong, $40,000 Front Range Stakes for the second year in a row. The 8-year-old gelding owned by Carlyle Rollins and trained by Rick Houghton has won six stakes races at Arapahoe Park since 2009.

“He loves it here,” Houghton said. “He stays happy when he’s here.”

Hezamazing and jockey Russell Vicchrilli stalked in second place behind early leader E F Five, made his move to the lead in the stretch with longshot Ghost Vapors, and pulled away at the finish for a one-length win at 8-1 in 1:22.99. Houghton said the defense was more comfortable than when winning the Front Range Stakes last year.

“It was totally different because last year he stumbled leaving the gate,” Houghton said. “I think he beat them a little easier today because he got away from the gate really well and had a real clean trip. It was perfect.”

Hezamazing, who was the oldest horse in the field of nine at 8-years-old, has won every open stakes races at Arapahoe Park for older horses. He also captured the 2009 and 2010 Arapahoe Park Sprint and the 2010 and 2012 Arapahoe Park Classic. In 19 career starts at the Aurora, Colorado, racetrack since 2008 Hezamazing has 11 wins, six seconds, and one third and earnings of $204,587.

Ghost Vapors finished second at 20-1 for owners Vance Alfrey and Stuart Eskew, trainer Temple Rushton, and jockey Travis Wales. Rushton also saddled the horse Hezamazing defeated in last year’s Front Range Stakes in No It Ain’t, who was fifth this year.

Memo to Mya, who was coming off two stakes wins in a row at Les Bois Park in Boise, Idaho, was third as the 7-2 favorite in his Colorado debut for owner Jim Garrett, trainer Robert Hazel, and jockey Dennis Collins.

Houghton said Hezamazing will be pointed to the 1 1/8-mile, $50,000 Arapahoe Park Classic on August 11 where he will seek his third victory in Arapahoe Park’s marquee race for older horses.

“He has aged, but he seems to be the same,” Houghton said. “We x-rayed his ankle earlier this year, and he looks like a 3-year-old. He’s doing really well for as old as he is.”

JUNE 28, 2013Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CACentralinteligence easy winner in Triple Bemd

Centralinteligence’s first stakes win couldn’t have come at a better time.

A runner-up twice in four previous ap-pearances in graded races, the 5-year-old Smarty Jones gelding rolled to a 3 ½-length victory in the Grade 1, $250,750 Triple Bend Handicap Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

In the process, the 8-1 shot received fees-paid entry into the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile since the Triple Bend was a Breeders’ Cup Chal-lenge “Win and You’re In’’ event. The BC Dirt Mile will be run Nov. 2 at Santa Anita.

Trained by Ron Ellis for a partnership that includes Amerman Racing Stables LLC, Bongo Racing Racing Stable, Gary Finder and Elias Sabo, Centralinteligence tracked the pace set by Comma to the Top while in the clear, collared that one without about an eighth of a mile remaining and drew away under jockey Victor Espinoza.

Runner-up to Comma to the Top in the

Grade 3 Los Angeles Handicap May 27, the Kentucky bred, who is out of the Seattle Slew mare Shootforthestars, ran the seven furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:21.57. He paid $19, $9.20 and $6.60.

The victory was the fourth for Centralin-teligence, who had finished ahead of only one horse in two previous tries at the Triple Bend distance. The $150,000 payday nearly doubled his bankroll. He’s earned $308,921 in 12 starts.

“This is what we planned for all meet,’’ said Ellis. “It was nice that he put it all together for us on the right day.

“He ran so poorly in this race last year (sixth) because he came out of it with a chip in his knee, so he certainly had a good excuse. He had surgery and they actually pulled two chips out of his right front leg.’’

Although Centralinteligence secured a spot in the BC Dirt Mile, Ellis said the chestnut will be pointed towards the Breeders’ Cup Sprint, which will also be run Nov. 2.

Espinoza, who rode Centralinteligence for the first time in the Los Angeles, collected his fifth Triple Bend victory. His earlier wins came with Elaborate (2000), Disturbingthepeace (2002), Pohave (2004) and Zensational (2009).

“He was ready today,’’ said Espinoza. “He was ready to go. The race set up very well, the way I wanted. He performed to our expecta-tions.’’

Comma to the Top, who was searching for his third stakes win of the Spring/Summer meet and his sixth at Betfair Hollywood Park, was 1 ¼ lengths in front of 14-1 outsider Morn-ing Line, who was racing for the first time since trailing in the Grade 2 Californian June 2, 2012.

First or second in seven of his 10 starts over Cushion Track, Comma to the Top paid $5.80 and $4.40. Morning Line returned $8.40 to show.

Obviously becomes Grade 1 winner in Shoemaker Mile Victory earns gelding spot in Breeders’ Cup Mile

Heavily-favored Obviously earned the most significant victory of his career and earned a Breeders’ Cup berth with an impres-sive win in the $300,000 Shoemaker Mile Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

A three-time Grade 2 winner since arriving in the United States well over a year ago, the Irish-bred collected his first Grade 1, leading nearly every step of the way under regular rider Joe Talamo.

With the 3 ¼-length score in the Breeders’ Cup Challenge ‘Win and You’re In’’ race, Obvi-ously, a 6-year-old gelded son of Choisir, will receive a fees-paid spot in the Breeders’ Cup Mile, which will be run Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. Obviously finished third in the 2012 Mile, beaten by eventual Horse of the Year Wise Dan and 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom.

Owned by Anthony Fanticola and Joseph Scardino, Obviously, who is out of the Montjeu mare Leala, completed the distance over the Betfair Hollywood Park turf course in 1:32.86. It was the fastest clocking in the Shoemaker Mile since Designed for Luck went 1:32.81 in 2004.

The win was the eighth in 15 starts for the 3-10 choice and enabled trainer Mike Mitchell to reach a milestone.

It was the 900th victory at Betfair Hol-lywood Park for Mitchell. Only the late Bobby Frankel, who won 952 races locally during his Hall of Fame career, has more.

A winner in five of six starts at one mile on turf, Obviously, who has earned $848,361, paid $2.60, $2.20 and $2.10. It was the shortest win price in race history. The previous low of $2.70 was set by Bolero, who won the 1950 Spring meet renewal when the race was known as the Preview Handicap.

Although Wilkinson was first out of the gate, Obviously had assumed the advantage by the time the field reached the first turn, set 23.06, 46.38 and 1:09.95 fractions and still had more than enough left to spurt away from Za Approval and three other rivals.

“The main goal is to run back in the Breed-ers’ Cup Mile, I turned him out last year for no problems at all, just to freshen him. He’s razor sharp right now. He’s training so well and he looks so good. I think he’s better than last year. He’s stronger and a little bit more filled out.

“It’s great to get 900 wins, especially in a race like this.’’

The likely next stop for Obviously is the $250,000 Del Mar Mile Handicap Aug. 25. He won the Grade 2 by a nose over Mr. Commons last Aug. 26.

Talamo’s first victory in the Shoemaker Mile was his meet-high ninth stakes success. He is 5-for-9 in tandem with Obviously.

“He is just an unbelievable horse,’’ said Talamo. “He did everything today pretty much as the way we planned. We were cruising early and he kicked away nicely.

Entering off a pair of Grade 3 victories at Gulfstream Park and Monmouth Park for train-er Christophe Clement, Za Approval finished 1 ¼ lengths in front of Wilkinson and paid $3.80 and $3. The show price on 16-1 shot Wilkinson, who had won his previous two races over the BHP grass, was $3.80. Defending champion Jeranimo and Lucayan, the 5-1 second choice, completed the order of finish.

Arapahoe Park, Aurora, COCTBA Derby: Age makes Finewineatnine better

After being in the shadows in stakes races as a 2-year-old last year, Finewineatnine took the spotlight in the 1 1/16-mile, $42,018 CTBA Derby for Colorado-bred 3-year-olds at Arapahoe Park on Saturday. Finewineatnine held off the maiden Cover Trick by a head in a thrilling stretch drive to win the premier race at Arapahoe Park for Colorado-bred 3-year-olds for owners Annette Bishop and Jerry

and Beverly Slaughter of the Tangarae Farms, trainer Kenneth “Butch” Gleason, and jockey Luis Rodriguez. As the 3-1 second choice, Finewineatnine paid $8.40 for the win and clocked 1:48.96 for 1 1/16 miles.

“He showed great determination coming home because he’s never been that distance, and that was our big question about whether he could go the distance,” Bishop said about Finewineatnine’s first race around two turns.

Last year Finewineatnine finished second in the Silver Cup Futurity and third in the CTBA Futurity, both races won by the colt’s stable-mate Get Happy Mister. The Tangarae Farms have given Get Happy Mister some time off in Kentucky for a return to the races in Spring 2014.

“I saw Get Happy Mister Wednesday in Kentucky,” Bishop said. “He’s 17 hands. He’s just a big gangly teenager trying to grow into his body, and he seems to be very happy. He’s gained weight and with another six months he should fill into his frame.”

Cover Trick, at 7-1, finished second as a maiden for jockey Travis Wales and trainer Kim Oliver. Busta Twist, the 3-5 favorite, was a further 3 1/2 lengths back in third for jockey Russell Vicchrilli and trainer Douglas Grinolds.

Prairie Meadows, Altoona, IAPrayer For Relief takes Cornhusker

Zayat Stables’ odds-on favorite Prayer For Relief received a confident ride from Ricardo Santana Jr. to wear down Taptowne and win the Grade 3, $300,000 Cornhusker Handicap, the ultimate stakes during the Iowa Festival of Racing, on Saturday evening at Prairie Meadows.

Supporting the Cornhusker Handicap were the Grade 3, $250,000 Iowa Derby and the Grade 3, $200,000 Iowa Oaks.

The versatile Prayer For Relief, who was forwardly place in his two previous starts, was allowed to settle near the rear of the six-horse Cornhusker field. He moved into a threaten-ing position on the outside of the far turn and then hooked up to battle Taptowne, ridden by

Obviously Finewineatnine Prayer For Relief



Calvin Borel, in the stretch.Prayer For Relief proved best in the final

strides to win by one-and-three-quarter lengths with a 1:49.96 time for the one-and-one-eighth miles.

Taptowne maintained second by more than five lengths over pacesetter Silver Max.

Prayer For Relief, trained by Steve Asmus-sen, scored his first 2013 stakes win in the Cornhusker after finishing second in a pair of stakes. The five-year-old son of Jump Start made his two previous starts at his home base of Lone Star Park and was second in the Grade 3, $200,000 Lone Star Mile as the 5-2 favorite and then was second in the Grade 3, $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap at 13-10 odds. He was defeated by stable mate Master Rick in each race.

Clovertowne Farms’ Taptowne now has three second-place runs, including the Grade 2, $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap, in his latest four races for trainer Tim Glyshaw. The Tapit gelding went gate-to-wire to win an optional-claiming race at Oaklawn Park back in March.

Another closer, 17-1 longshot Looking Cool, rallied to win the Iowa Derby at one-and-one-sixteenth mile.

Jim Tafel’s Looking Cool sat in mid pack in the seven-horse field under Leandro Concalves and made a four-wide move through the stretch to run down Betweenhereandcool and win by a game neck in 1:44.29. Bashaar was one-and one-quarter-lengths back in third.

Looking Cool was overlooked in the Iowa Derby despite a second-place finish in the $100,000 Northern Spur Stakes at Oaklawn Park on the Arkansas Derby undercard. The win in the Iowa Derby for the Carl Nafzger-trained son of Candy Ride was his third win this year from six outs and his first stakes victory.

The Iowa Oaks started Saturday’s stakes tripleheader with Fiftyshadesofhay – owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman – getting a perfect trip as the 13-10 favorite and racing to the three-and-one-half-length win over Seaneen Girl.

Fiftyshadesofhay sat off the front-running

So Many Ways until the final turn of the one-and-one-sixteenth-mile test. Jockey Martin Garcia then sent the Pulpit filly to the lead and she had a two-length advantage at the top of the stretch and rolled to the win in 1:44.65.

So Many Ways was also caught by Sea-neen Girl and settled for third in the full 10-filly field.

The Bob Baffert-trained Fiftyshadesofhay was the obvious choice in the Iowa Oaks after surging to a narrow win the Grade 2, $500,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico in her previous start. Two starts ago, she was third in the Grade 1, $300,000 Santa Anita Oaks and won the Grade 3, $100,00s Santa Ysabel Stakes in January at Santa Anita.

JUNE 28, 2013Prairie Meadows, Altoona, IAIowa Festival of Racing weekend starts with stakes tripleheader

Harry Rosenblum’s Gentlemen’s Bet put away Delaunay in deep stretch to take the $125,000 Iowa Sprint Handicap during a stakes tripleheader that started the Iowa Festival of Racing weekend at Prairie Meadows.

Joining the Iowa Sprint Handicap on Friday evening were the $100,000 Iowa Distaff Stakes and the $100,000 Saylorville Stakes.

On Saturday night, three Grade 3 stakes are offered: the $300,000 Cornhusker Handi-cap, the $250,000 Iowa Derby and the$200,000 Iowa Oaks.

Gentlemen’s Bet won the Iowa Sprint Handicap by sitting off a quick and honest pace set by Credit Report, who raced the first quarter in :21.75 and the first half in:44.59. Gentleman’s Bet and Delaunay were each able to rally off those fractions with Gentlemen’s Bet accelerating in the final 100 yards to get the one-and-three-quarter length win over Delaunay. Credit Report salvaged third in the five-horse field after setting up the two closers.

Robby Albarado was aboard Gentlemen’s Bet for the win in 1:09.51 for the six furlongs.

Gentlemen’s Bet has proven to be a very

dependable sprinter for trainer Ron Moguett, who earlier won the Saylorville on the card.

Each of Gentlemen’s Bet’s six starts have been over six furlongs. After making no starts at two and only one start at three, Gentlemen’s Bet has come through with four wins and a third-place run from his five stars at four this year.

The son of Half Ours scored each of his other three 2013 wins in optional-claiming races and he came into the Sprint Handicap off a gate-to-wire, five-and-three-quarter length win in 1:07.80 at Churchill Downs.

Maggi Moss’ runner-up Delaunay, the 3-10 favorite, had a six-straight stakes-winning streak broken in the Sprint Handicap. His previ-ous race was a four-length win in the Grade 2, $443,600 Churchill Downs Stakes at seven furlongs on the Kentucky Derby undercard as the 19-10 choice.

In the Iowa Distaff at one-and-one-six-teenth mile, Preston Stables’ Flashy American was confidently handled by Terry Thompson and responded like a 4-5 favorite to win by an easy five-and-one half lengths.

Thompson allowed his filly to comfortably settle behind the front-running Cruzette and Magic Hour. Flashy American responded when asked by Thompson on the second turn and she opened up a daylight advantage at the top of the stretch and easily increased that margin to five-and-one-half lengths at the wire. She was clocked in 1:44.64.

Magic Hour held on for second after help-ing set the pace and Itsabeautifulthing got up for third. Cruzette faded to last in the seven-horse field.

Flashy American was respected as the odds-on choice while making her stakes debut for trainer Kenny McPeek. The Flashy Bull daughter, who made her first five starts in maiden-claiming races, showed she was ready for the class jump after rallying for a three-and-one-quarter-length win in a Churchill Downs optional-claiming race over one-and-one-sixteenth mile on June 6. She now has five wins from19 starts.

In the Saylorville Stakes for distaffers at

Looking Cool Fiftyshadesofhay Gentlemen’s Bet



six furlongs, BJD Thoroughbreds’ Livi Makenzie made a three-wide rally to run down a fading pacesetter Lulu Wong to get the win in 1:10.28 by one length under Ricardo Santana Jr.

Devious Intent also caught Lulu Wong in the stretch to grab second and the quick Lulu Wong settled for third in the five-horse field.

Livi Makenzie, fourth in last year’s Iowa Oaks, was returning to the stakes division after six consecutive starts against optional-claiming company. She was on the board in five of those six starts with two wins. She was a gate-to-wire winner in her previous start at Churchill Downs when she won by two lengths with a 1:09.73 time for the six furlongs.

The consistent sprinter against distaff company scored her fourth win from nine starts at six furlongs. She also recorded three second-place efforts.

JUNE 23, 2013SunRay Park, Farmington, NMIsn’t He Clever is spectacular in San Juan County Commissioners Handicap

The best Thoroughbred in New Mexico is back! Isn’t He Clever shipped into SunRay Park and Casino and displayed his consider-able talents with a near 17-length victory in the $75,000 San Juan County Commissioners Handicap on closing day.

The prestigious one and eighth mile feature was merely a jog for the Smarty Jones gelding, and he nearly broke the track record without breaking a sweat. Brilliantly trained by Henry Dominguez, Isn’t He Clever returned to his favorite state and scored his 7th career win and 5th stakes title. Under jockey Enrique Gomez, the 1-9 favorite led every step of the way of the 3-turn race.

Following a controlled tempo, Isn’t He Clever rocketed away from stable mate and multiple stakes winner Imco Spirit with 3 fur-longs to go in the feature. The racing dynamo was over 10 lengths in front heading into the stretch. He kept extending the margin while

under a hand ride. Casa de Cambio, Super Candy and Imco Spirit were distant images in his rear view mirror.

The knockout winner clocked the 9 fur-longs in 1:49.95, just missing the track record of 1:48.80 held by Line Gauge in 1999. The winning margin has to be the largest in the history of the San Juan County Commissioner’s Handicap. The four-year-old earned a $45,000 pay day for owners Kirk and Judy Robison of El Paso, Texas.

Dominguez said in the winner’s circle, “I think we have figured him out. He likes a fast race track. His tactical speed worked well over the tight turns. He really loves New Mexico.”

Isn’t He Clever carries a most enviable resume with wins in the 2011 Riley Allison Futurity, the 2012 Borderland Derby, the 2012 Ruidoso Thoroughbred Derby, the 2013 Bill Thomas Memorial Handicap. As a three-year-old, Isn’t He Clever finished fourth behind eventual 2012 Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (Grade 2) at Santa Anita. He was a valiant second to Daddy Nose Best in the 2012 $800,000 Sun-land Derby (Grade 3). His earnings now top the $542,000 mark. Isn’t He Clever was coming off a fourth place finish behind Master Rick and Prayer for Relief in the Grade 3 Lone Star Park Handicap on May 27.

Casa de Cambio, Super Candy, Imco Spirit, Vamoose and Rock Hard Bunny rounded out the order of finish.

Trainer Henry Dominguez was crowned the leading trainer for the 2013 SunRay Park racing season.

Emerald Downs, Auburn, WAMusic of My Soul gate-to-wire in Coca Cola, ‘Debbie leads Northwest Farms sweep

Music of My Soul led all the way and scored a half-length victory Sunday in the $50,000 Coca-Cola Handicap for 3-year-old colts and geldings in the first half of a stakes doubleheader at Emerald Downs.

Two races later, trainer Tom Wenzel and

owner Northwest Farms once again swept the top three places as Stopshoppingdebbie rolled to a 6 ¾-length victory over Goin to the Window in the $50,000 Irish Day Handicap for 3-year-old fillies. Blueberry Smoothie rallied to finish third, capping off a mirror image fin-ish of the May 26 Seattle Handicap, in which Stopshoppingdebbie, Goin to the Window and Blueberrry Smoothie also finished first, second and third.

Music of My Soul, ridden by Isaias En-riquez at 118 lbs, set fast fractions—:23.22, :45.96 and 1:09.63—and finished off the mile in 1:35.07. Trained by Doris Harwood and owned by Elttaes Stable, Music of My Soul earned $27,500 to increase his bankroll to 3-2-0 in seven starts with $98,832 in purse money.

The victory made amends for a hard-luck development prior to the June 2 Auburn Handicap, in which Music of My Soul acted up and was scratched at the gate.

“We just passed the torch,” Harwood said, eluding to the fact that Music of My Soul, a 3-year-old Washington-bred by Harbor the Gold-Julia Rose, is a full brother to the great Noosa Beach, the track’s all-time leader with 11 stakes wins who will officially retire in a special ceremony here on July 3.

“I was playing cat-and-mouse with (Final-lygotabentley) because he kept trying to move up and then I’d give my horse a little tap and he’d take off but then relax right away,” Enriquez said. “In the stretch, my horse started moving side-to-side and was really getting tired.

“I’m just thinking, ‘come on, lets go a little bit more, lets not lose this now, this is when I need you.’ He straightened out and got it done.”

Cariboo Road rallied from 15 lengths back to finish second, but was ruled a non-starter for wagering purposes by the stewards, who ruled the gelding did not have a fair start from the gate. Cariboo Road was considered the second-place finisher in terms of purse money, however, and earned $10,000 for Glyn Kelly and Anne MacLennan.

Worldventurer was promoted from third

Flashy American Livi Makenzie Isn’t He Clever


to second in the mutuels, and paid $4.80 and $3, while Valiant Flame went from fourth to third and paid $5.80 for show.

In improving to three-for-three lifetime, Stopshoppingdebbie appears to merely be scratching the surface of her potential. Bred by Northwest Farms and co-owned by Northwest Farms and Debbie Paxton, Stopshoppingdeb-bie earned $27,500 to increase her bankroll to $64,818.

Ridden by Rocco Bowen at 118 lbs, Stop-shoppingdebbie paid $3.40, $2.20 and $2.10.

After a stakes record-tying victory in the 6 ½-furlong Seattle Handicap, Sunday’s race would prove whether the filly could carry her a speed a distance of ground. It was never in doubt, as Stopshoppingdebbie led through fractions of :24.04, :47.49, 1:10.98 and 1:22.74. She opened a three-length lead into the stretch, and coasted home under a hand ride.

A Kentucky-bred by Curlin-Taste the Passion, Stopshoppingdebbie’s final time of 1:34.74 broke the stakes record of 1:35.88 set by stable mate Exclusive Diva last year.

“I was expecting someone else to go for the lead and push me, but they didn’t and I really enjoyed that,” Bowen said. “At the five-eighths pole I saw that nobody was coming, so I knew they were going to have to use a lot of horse to catch up to me and even more horse to get by me.

“The breeding says it all,” Bowen added. “These kinds of horses are so classy. She’s the kind of horse that runs push button.”

Goin to the Window held second by three-quarters of a length over Blueberry Smoothie, while Sunset Time, Polebound and

Strange Luck completed the order of finish.

JUNE 22, 2013Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CADoinghardtimeagain makes Grade 1n Hollywood Oaks

Favored Doinghardtimeagain remained perfect over Cushion Track and earned the first graded victory of her career with a gate-to-wire score in the $150,000 Hollywood Oaks at Betfair Hollywood Park.

The 2 ½ length decision over 2-1 second choice Iotapa was the fourth in as many starts at Betfair Hollywood Park for the 3-year-old, California-bred daughter of Ministers Wild Cat and the Conquistador Cielo mare Silver Hawk Lady.

Trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendor-fer for owner-breeders Tom and Debi Stull’s Tommy Town Thoroughbreds, Doinghardtime-again broke well from the inside post under jockey Rafael Bejarano, relaxed nicely through the first six furlongs with Ondine her closest pursuer, then easily repelled a bid from Iotapa approaching the stretch to win clear.

Prevailing for the first time – in only her second race – against open company, Doing-hardtimeagain covered the 1 1/16 miles in the Grade 2 in 1:43.27. She paid $3.60, $2.20 and $2.10 as the 4-5 choice.

The victory was the fifth in nine starts for the dark bay and pushed her earnings to $573,770. Only once has she been worse than second.

Three of Doinghardtimeagain’s wins at Betfair Hollywood Park have come in stakes. Prior to Saturday, she captured the inaugural Soviet Problem last Dec. 9 and the Melair – at the Hollywood Oaks distance – April 27.

“We thought we had the best horse and so we used our speed,’’ said Hollendorfer, who also won the 2006 Oaks with Hystericalady. “When they came to us, fortunately she was able to hold them off.

“She’s doing everything on her own (in

her works). We don’t urge her to do anything in the morning. I don’t bullet work my horses, so whenever somebody sees any of our horses with bullet works, they did it on their own. We’ll consider some options.’’

One of the possibilities is the $300,000, Grade 2 Delaware Oaks July 13 at Delaware Park. Hollendorfer won the race, which is at 1 1/16 miles, with Blind Luck in 2010, but he said it might too quick a turnaround for Doinghard-timeagain.

Bejarano, who won his first Oaks with Lethal Heat in 2008, thought Ondine might be the pacesetter, but he was happy to take over after Doinghardtimeagain broke on top.

“I just kept my position on the rail,’’ he said. “She was real comfortable all the way. I didn’t hit her too much, just a few taps on the shoulder. She can pretty much do anything. She’s real easy to ride.’’

Iotapa, who entered 2-for-2 over Cushion Track, including a victory in the Railbird Stakes May 19, finished a half-length in front of On-dine, who was trying to provide Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert with his third Oaks success. Iotapa returned $2.40 and $2.20. Ondine’s show price was $2.80.

Ciao Bella Luna, who is also trained by Hollendorfer, and Unbridled Wee completed the order of finish.

Ruidoso Downs, NMReaper stalks and is victorious in Mountain Top Thoroughbred Futurity

R.D. Hubbard’s homebred Reaper got a veteran ride from Duane Lee Sterling and rallied to win the $167,391 Mountain Top Thoroughbred Futurity for New Mexico-breds at Ruidoso Downs.

A gelded son of Attila’s Storm, Reaper raced the five furlongs in :59.44.

Reaper started from the eighth post posi-tion in the nine-horse field and Sterling kept Reaper out of trouble while racing in a three-wide position. The gelding then responded when asked by Sterling to catch the Carlos

Music of My Soul Doinghardtimeagain Reaper



Madeira-trained Unsociable Major, who had gained the lead on the turn, to win by an expanding one-and-one-quarter length. The late-running Beaumont Time grabbed third, one length behind Unsociable Major.

One of three horses in the field from the Todd Fincher stable, Reaper won his career de-but in the three trials with a similar style that indicates he should relish added distance. He took his trial by three quarters of a length after racing in fourth-place down the backstretch.

Joel Barchardt’s runner-up Unsociable Major won his maiden in his second start when he won by three quarters of a length for trainer Dallas Barton. He was a $5,000 Ruidoso Yearling Sale purchase.

JUNE 16, 2013Arapahoe Park, Aurora, COE F Five regains Aspen glory

E F Five, the 2011 Aspen Stakes winner, avenged a loss to Wally Van in last year’s race to recapture his crown in this year’s 6-furlong, $43,420 stakes for Colorado-breds. E F Five and jockey Kelly Bridges blistered through an opening quarter-mile of 21.32 seconds and a half-mile of 43.86 seconds and held off a late charge by defending champion Wally to win in gate-to-wire fashion. E F Five finished first by 3/4 lengths in a final time of 1:09.43. E F Five, who is owned and bred and Linda Robertson and trained by Kenneth “Butch Gleason” has made all 21 career starts at Arapahoe Park, winning seven of them, including the 2011 Aspen Stakes and 2011 Front Range Stakes.

Wally Van, the 2011 Colorado-bred Horse of the Year owned by Bill Vanlandingham and trained by Tyrone Gleason, settled in fourth place early, but the 4-5 favorite could not catch E F Five as he had in the final strides of last year’s Aspen Stakes that he won by a head.

Dancetothestar, a stablemate of E F Five from the Gleason barn, finished a further 2 3/4 lengths back in third for jockey Luis Rodriguez. He was fifth in the 2012 Aspen before going on to win the Mount Elbert Stakes, which will be the next Colorado-bred stakes for 3-year-

olds and up at Arapahoe Park on July 28.

JUNE 15, 2013Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CAByrama gives Stevens another Grade 1 in Vanity; poor start no problem for Kobe’s Back in ’Proctor; Sprouts gets ideal setup in Cinderella Stakes

Jockey Gary Stevens has certainly made the most of his two victories at the Spring/Summer meet at Betfair Hollywood Park.

The Hall of Famer, who earned his first win at the historic track in nearly eight years with a thrilling victory aboard Marketing Mix in the Grade 1 Gamely May 27, added another Grade 1 to his extremely impressive resume with a 6-1 surprise atop Byrama in the $250,250 Van-ity Handicap Saturday.

Racing without blinkers for the first time in 10 months and making her Cushion Track debut, Byrama overtook runaway leader Royal Tiger approaching the stretch, then pulled away from More Chocolate in the final eighth of a mile to win by 3 ½ lengths.

Trained by Simon Callaghan for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Byrama, a 4-year-old Byron filly out of the Darshaan mare Aymara, completed the 1 1/8 miles in 1:51.40. The victory was her fifth in 19 starts. The English-bred’s first Grade 1 success increased her earn-ings to $484,750.

The fifth choice in a field of six, Byrama paid $14, $6.20 and $3. More Chocolate, the 5-2 second choice who was making her synthetic track debut for trainer John Sadler, returned $3.60 and $2.60. She finished 1 1/4 lengths in front of 8-5 favorite Lady of Fifty, who paid $2.20 to show.

“Just a great race for this filly,’’ said Stevens, the only jockey to have won a Grade 1 at the current meet. “Distance was the question. We didn’t have any cover going around the first turn and I was a little worried about that, but then she settled in well into a real nice rhythm.

Callaghan said Byrama, who had been the runner-up in two previous races over synthetic surfaces before Saturday, said he will keep her on artificial tracks in the immediate future.

Sadler wasn’t discouraged by the effort of More Chocolate, who tried the winner early in the stretch, but couldn’t match strides late.

Royal Tiger, who had a five-length advan-tage through a 47.14 half mile, faded to fourth, 3 ¼ lengths behind Lady of Fifty. Completing the order of finish were Open Water and Esen-tepe, who was eased in the stretch by jockey Corey Nakatani.

In the $100,001 Willard L. Proctor Me-morial, the initial stakes event of the Spring/Summer meet for 2-year-olds, Kobe’s Back, a first-time starter named in honor of Los Ange-les Lakers’ superstar Kobe Bryant, overcame a horrible start to win going away.

The 9-5 favorite, Kobe’s Back spotted his eight opponents several lengths at the start, was still last after three-eighths of a mile, but finished strongly, ultimately collaring 8-1 shot Willie B Awesome inside the final sixteenth of a mile to win clear under jockey Rafael Bejarano.

A $480,000 purchase in March at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company Selected Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training, Kobe’s Back covered the 5 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:05.42. The victory was worth $60,000 to Lee and Susan Searing’s C R K Stable. Trained by Sadler, Kobe’s Back paid $5.60, $4 and $3 while win-ning by 3 ¼ lengths.

Lee Searing thought the gray son of Flat-ter and the Well Decorated mare Well would be an appropriate horse to name after Bryant.

A full brother to multiple stakes winner Willa B Awesome, Willie B Awesome slipped through an opening along the rail to assume a 2 ½ length lead with an eighth of a mile re-maining, but was no match for the winner late in his third race for trainer Walther Solis.

One month removed from an easy maiden victory versus fellow California breds, Sprouts stepped into stakes company Satur-day and was dominant again in the $100,250 Cinderella.

A daughter of Square Eddie and the Yan-kee Victor mare Ann Summers Gold, Sprouts ran away from her five rivals in a race restricted to 2-year-old fillies.

Content to track from the outside while Pleasant Miss and favored On the Backstreets dueled for the lead, Sprouts swung three deep to engage that pair nearing the stretch, then powered away to win by 3 ½ lengths under jockey Mario Gutierrez.

Owned by breeder J. Paul Reddam’s Red-dam Racing LLC and trained by Edward Free-man, Sprouts completed the 5 ½ furlongs over Cushion Track in 1:054.45. She paid $8, $4.20

Byrama Kobe’s Back



and $3.20 as the 3-1 third choice.Making her first start with Lasix after win-

ning by 5 ¼ lengths at 11-1 May 16, Sprouts pushed her earnings to $92,240. She was fifth of nine in her career debut April 26 at Betfair Hollywood Park.

In her initial start after being privately purchased by a partnership that includes Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, Pleasant Miss, the 5-2 second choice, held second by one length over Time for Angie. The runner-up returned $4.40 and $3 while the show price on Time for Angie was $3.80.

On the Backstreets, the even-money fa-vorite, weakened to fourth, 9 ¼ lengths behind Time for Angie. La Madera and Pay the Debt completed the order of finish. Sensational Nikki scratched.

Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CASkydreamin wins Lost in the Fog in blanket finish

Skydreamin got up in the final strides to win the $55,100 Lost in the Fog Stakes over Tupelo Cush and Olympic Jumble in a blanket finish Saturday at Golden Gate Fields.

Making the first start of his career, Sky-dreamin won the five-furlong feature for

2-year-olds by a head over Tupelo Cush in 1:00.64. Tupelo Cush edged 6-5 favorite Olym-pic Jumble by a nose for second.

The top three finishers raced side by side

through the final sixteenth of a mile in a thrill-ing stretch battle. Skydreamin prevailed for the jockey-trainer team of Russell Baze and Jeff Bonde, a combination that has won three of the seven renewals of the Lost in the Fog.

Baze and Bonde scored their previous wins in the Lost in the Fog with Smiling Tiger in 2009 and Road Ready in 2010. Road Ready, like Skydreamin, won the stakes in his career debut.

Skydreamin, a Kentucky-bred colt by Sky Mesa, rallied from last in a field of five to win the Lost in the Fog.

“He’s talented but he was awfully green early,” said Baze. “He broke real sharp, but about the second jump he ducked in real hard and I had to grab him. And about the time I got him straightened up, [Game Stone] came in at him and he spooked again and I end up last.

“He easily got up within striking dis-tance at the head of the lane and then those horses on the lead started getting a little tired,” continued Baze. “He was getting tired too but he ran game all the way to the wire. This is a quality colt and I think the quality showed out there.”

Skydreamin is owned in partnership by Lorill Harlingten, Alan Klein and Phil Lebherz. Purchased in March for $80,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales, Skydreamin earned $30,300 for his debut victory.

Skydreamin, who was the second choice

in the betting and paid $5.20, provided Baze with his fourth straight stakes victory. Baze won the Grade 3 $100,000 All American with Summer Hit on May 27, the $100,000 Cam-panile with Unusual Way on June 1, and the $100,000 Silky Sullivan with Surfcup on June 9.

Baze won five of the 11 stakes run at the winter/spring meeting as he also won the first stakes of the season, the $100,000 California Derby on Jan. 12, with Zeewat.

JUNE 9, 2013Emerald Downs, Auburn, WAExclusive Diva turns tables on E Z Kitty, prevails in Washington State Legislators

It’s getting to be one of the most familiar sights at Emerald Downs; the historic black, silver and red silks of Northwest Farms in the Winner’s Circle after a stakes race.

That was the case again Sunday, as Exclu-sive Diva powered through the lane to score a 1 ¼-length victory over 4-to-5 betting favorite E Z Kitty in the $50,000 Washington State Leg-islators Stakes for older fillies and mares.

Ridden by Juan Gutierrez at 120 lbs, Exclusive Diva ran 6 ½ furlongs in 1:14.88 and paid $5.20, $2.40 and $2.20. Tom Wenzel is the trainer for owners Northwest Farms and Deb-bie Paxton.

R A C E R E C A P S - T H O R O U G H B R E D122 lbs, gamely held second place and paid $2.40 and $2.10.

Gosailgo, a 44-to-1 long shot ridden by Debbie Hoonan at 116 lbs, rallied to finish third and paid $6.

The result was a reversal of the May 12 Hastings Handicap, in which E Z Kitty rolled to a two-length victory over Exclusive Diva in 1:08.26 for six furlongs. It also was the third straight stakes win for the team of trainer Wenzel and owner Northwest Farms*nom de course for Jerre Paxton of Seattle.

The Wenzel-Paxton team clicked with Stopshoppingdebbie in the May 26 Seattle Handicap for 3-year-old fillies, and Finallygo-tabentlry in the June 2 Auburn Handicap for 3-year-old colts and geldings. Finallygota-bentley and Exclusive Diva are co-owned by Debbie Paxton.

And with 24 stakes remaining, Wenzel rates a fair chance to break the single-season training record of 12 wins set by Doris Har-wood in 2007 and 2009. However, the stoic 46-year-old Tacoma native would rather talk about Exclusive Diva, now a four-time stakes winner and 6-1-0 in seven career sprints.

“She’s a little filly, barely 15 hands, but she has a big heart,” Wenzel said of Exclusive Diva.

A Kentucky-bred By Bernardini-Puxa Saco, Exclusive Diva has an overall mark of 7-3-1 in 11 starts with earnings of $184,571, and has won stakes at age 2, 3 and 4.

“I’ve ridden this filly every time and every time she gives 100 percent,” Gutierrez said. “The plans changed a little bit after the break. I thought if we broke sharp we’d take the lead but I saw (Plus One) and E Z Kitty wanted to go for the lead, so I waited for the quarter-pole. She always tries hard at the quarter-pole. I think she has a second gear over there.”

Exclusive Diva settled into fourth place, as Plus One led through fractions of:22.09 for the quarter-mile and :44.56 for the half. Both E Z Kitty and Exclusive Diva moved up to chal-lenge midway on the turn, and from there it was a virtual match race to the wire*only this time Exclusive Diva was the winner.

“This race set up exactly like the Hastings, I thought we were in good shape,” Sanguinetti said. “I don’t know if it was because it was a little warmer today but she just wasn’t quite as strong.

“It wasn’t like we got beat by a bad horse today. I think they are great rivals for each other. One of them will get the better of the other one on one day and then it will go the other way the next day. I’m not disappointed in E Z Kitty at all. She made it a good race.”

Castinette Dancer, a shipper from Hast-ings Racecourse, finished fourth, followed by Plus One and Champagneandcaviar.

Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CABaffert’s Surfcup wins $100,000 Silky Sullivan in front of 10,009

“As advertised,” said jockey Russell Baze after guiding 4-5 favorite Surfcup to a front-running victory in the $100,000 Silky Sullivan Stakes Sunday at Golden Gate Fields in front of a crowd of 10,009.

Surfcup, a 3-year-old colt trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, improved to 3-for-3 on turf after winning the one-mile Silky Sullivan by a length over 6-5 second choice Gervinho. Tebows Big Play, the third choice at 8-1, finished third to complete a chalky $1 trifecta that paid $8.70.

“Bob (trainer Baffert) sent the horse up ready and all I had to do was be a good pas-senger,” said Baze. “He’s a nice little horse to ride. If Bejarano (jockey Rafael) doesn’t want to ride this horse next time I can make myself available.”

Southern California-based Bejarano rode Surfcup in his previous three races and guided the horse to a victory in the $300,000 Snow Chief Stakes at Betfair Hollywood Park in his most recent start on April 27. Bejarano had several riding commitments at Hollywood Sunday, which gave Baze the opportunity to ride Surfcup in the Silky Sullivan.

“I want to thank Bob for letting me ride him,” said Baze, who escorted Surfcup through soft fractions of 24.68, 49.06, and 1:13.90 despite getting some company on the front end from 25-1 longshot Heat Streaker. “He was very relaxed. I never had any concerns. It just felt like I had a lot of horse on tap anytime I wanted to ask him. And when I did ask him, he just accelerated away from them.”

Surfcup completed a mile on the Lakeside Turf Course in 1:37.54 and paid $3.80 after recording his fourth win in seven career starts. Surfcup earned $60,000 for the Silky Sullivan victory and the payday boosted his bankroll to $335,800.

Surfcup, a bay son of Unusual Heat, was bred by his owner, Donald R. Dizney.

Gervinho, who was making his first start

since finishing a close fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf on Nov. 3 at Santa Anita, ran a solid second off the bench for trainer Carla Gaines and owner Keith Brackpool.

“It was a slow pace and there was nothing I could do,” said jockey Victor Espinoza, who rode Gervinho. “He ran great. Hopefully he comes back good and we’ll be ready for the next one.”

JUNE 8, 2013Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CATale of a Champion wins Whittingham

Tale of a Champion parlayed a ground saving trip into the most significant win of his career, scoring a 10-1 upset in the $200,250 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at Betfair Hollywood Park.

No better than fifth in five previous ap-pearances in graded races, the 5-year-old son of Tale of the Cat prevailed by one length over 13-10 favorite All Squared Away in the Grade 2.

The victory was the second in a row for Tale of a Champion, who had wrapped his Win-ter/Spring meet at Santa Anita with a win over McAllister Boys and eight others in the March Madness Handicap March 30.

Owned by Kretz Racing LLC and trained by Kristin Mulhall, Tale of a Champion, who is out of the Seattle Slew mare If Angels Sang, was ridden by Joe Talamo. It was a Spring/Summer meet high sixth stakes victory for the jockey.

Positioned on the inside while tracking pacesetter Lucky Primo and Slim Shadey, Tale of a Champion was angled off the fence into the stretch, collared Lucky Primo, then held All Squared Away safe in the closing yards. The final time for the 1 ¼ miles on turf was 2:01.27.

Privately purchased by his current con-nections last summer after beginning his ca-reer with four wins in five starts in Florida, Tale of a Champion, who paid $22.40, $7.20 and $5, is 6-for-14 lifetime. He’s earned $269,708.

Surfcup Tale of a Champion

“I think we’ve misplaced this horse before and he hasn’t had the best trips,’’ said Mulhall after her first graded win at Hollywood Park since Puerto Banus won the Sunset Handicap – which was then a Grade 2 – in 2003. “He feels like he wants to run two miles when he’s gal-loping. I told the owner about five races ago I’d like to see him go a mile and a half.

“We were trying to build his confidence up at Santa Anita. He’s been training really well. We’ve been working him short trying to get him to relax, but he’s been galloping out strong. We might come back in the (Grade 3, $100,000) Sunset Handicap (July 14).’’

Talamo, who has won twice in three pair-ings with Tale of a Champion, said the bay is coming into his own.

“We really had a great trip,’’ he said. “He re-ally impressed me when he won last time. The race set up perfectly for him today. My horse felt (All Squared Away) at the eighth pole and kept digging in.’’

Runner-up in the Grade 2 San Juan Capist-rano April 21 at Santa Anita, All Squared Away flipped during the post parade, but quickly recovered. According to trainer Peter Miller, the 4-year-old Bellamy Road gelding spooked from the stable pony.

All Squared Away finished 1 ¼ lengths in front of Lucky Primo, who lost for the first time in four races over the Betfair Hollywood Park grass. He returned $3 and $2.80.

The show price on Lucky Primo, who was making his first start since winning the Califor-nia Cup Classic last Oct. 13 at Santa Anita, was $4.60.

Niagara Falls, Lime Rickey and Slim Shadey, the 5-2 second choice and 122-pound top weight, completed the order of finish. Smart Ellis was scratched.

Sarach goes all the way at 8-1 in Honeymoon

Returning from a layoff of a bit more than two months, Sarach, an 8-1 shot, led through-out to win the $150,750 Honeymoon Handicap Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Teaming for the first time with jockey

Martin Garcia, the 3-year-old daughter of Arch and the Atticus mare Eximius made the lead without having to be urged, relaxed through moderate fractions with Macha in close pur-suit, kicked clear with less than an eighth of a mile to run and went on to win by one length over 4-5 favorite Scarlet Strike.

Owned by breeders Gerard and Alain Wertheimer and trained by Hall of Famer Richard Mandella, Sarach., who paid $18, $5.80 and $3.60, completed the 1 1/8 miles on turf in the Grade 2 in 1:48.73. The win was her third in eight starts. She’s earned $168,742.

The win was the second in the Honey-moon for Mandella, who also won the 1993 renewal with Likeable Style. Mandella wasn’t at Betfair Hollywood Park to see Sarach’s victory as he was at the wedding of Alex Solis, Jr., the son of the jockey.

“The main thing was to break sharp,’’ said Garcia after his first Honeymoon victory. “Every time she runs, she likes to be right there. Nobody went to the lead today and it was re-ally comfortable for her to take it. She showed what she can do.

“If they would have gone faster, she would have been right there, but like I said there was no pace and I just took advantage from there.’’

Victimized by a wide trip when second at 3-5 in the Senorita Stakes May 11, Scarlet Strike, who trailed for most of the trip, finished as best she could behind the pedestrian splits (24.09, 48.28 and 1:12.64). The Smart Strike filly won the Providencia at the same distance April 6 at Santa Anita, a Grade 3 in which Sarach finished fifth.

Trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollen-dorfer, who also saddled third-place finisher Macha, Scarlet Strike returned $2.60 and $2.20. Macha, who finished a half-length behind her stablemate, paid $4 to show.

Becky Lou, a 13-1 shot, finished a half-length behind Macha in fourth. Charlie Em, the winner of the Senorita and 7-2 second choice in the Honeymoon, Somethingabouther, Witt-genstein and Kyriaki completed the order of finish. Blingismything, Scooter Bird and Sweet Red Cat were scratched.

Two races before the Honeymoon, Kinz Funky Monkey made a successful return to ac-tion, wiring seven other 3-year-old fillies in the $73,600 Manhattan Beach Stakes.

Idle since defeating maidens over Del Mar’s Polytrack last Sept. 1, the daughter of The Green Monkey was ready to roll at a healthy 15-1 in her turf debut for Always Be-lieve, Inc. and trainer Peter Eurton.

Out of the More Than Ready mare Pretty Ready, Kinz Funky Monkey broke quickly from the inside under jockey Victor Espinoza, repelled challenges from Upbeat Mood, Disko Dasko and Tizmetizyou, then had enough left late to hold on by a half-length over 7-5 favor-ite Judy In Disguise.

No worse than third in three 2012 starts, Kinz Funky Monkey completed the six furlongs in 1:09.44. Her second victory increased her earnings to $108,110. She paid $33.20, $12 and $7 as the second longest shot in the field.

Shortening up after splitting the field in the Edgewood Stakes May 3 at Churchill Downs, Judy In Disguise, who added blinkers for trainer Simon Callaghan, paid $3.80 and $2.40. She finished a half-length in front of Upbeat Mood, who returned $3.80 to show.

“This filly is so fast,’’ said Eurton. “The thing I was worried most about was the rail because I knew (Upbeat Mood) was going to go. We weren’t going to go head and head with her. If she gave us the lead, fine. Otherwise, we’d at least find out if she likes turf.

“She has the pedigree for grass. Now that we know she likes it, we have some cool things for her in the future.’’

SunRay Park, Farmington, NMLady Genius remains unbeaten in C.O. Ken Kendrick Memorial Stakes

Copper Top Futurity filly’s winner Lady Genius kept her unbeaten record alive with a gutsy performance in the $65,000 C.O. Ken Kendrick Memorial Stakes at SunRay Park and Casino on Saturday.

In the end, the star freshman filly won

Sarach Kinz Funky Monkey Lady Genius


her third straight race going four and one-half furlongs, but this time she experienced a gut check. Trainer Dallas Barton’s talented sprinter fended off a serious challenge from Unofficial Winner rounding the far turn.

For an instant, Lady Genius appeared to be headed coming in to the stretch run. The 2-5 favorite took the challenge in stride and kicked clear to a 1 and 1/4 length victory under mild urging in a time of 52.30. She carved out fractions of 22.37 and 46.25 for the first two calls through some blustery conditions.

Winning jockey Carlos Madeira com-mented after the race, “I might have been a little worried for a split second. When I asked her, she was ready. She had no trouble with the tighter turns and ran great today. Dallas has done a great job with her.”

Lady Genius was coming off a 7-week layoff since her smashing Copper Top score at Sunland Park last April. The New Mexico-bred daughter of Quinton’s Gold picked up a $39,000 payday for W.D. Carson, Sr., M.H. Car-son and Leach Racing LLC. The double stakes winner is out of the blue hen stakes producing mare Miss Einstien. The triple winner has earn-ings of over $88,000.

Prairie Meadows, Altoona, IAIce Hockey gets up in stretch to win Cyclones Handicap

Maggi Moss’ Ice Hockey ran down 22-1 longshot Beware Of The Devil and gamely fought to a head win in the $75,000 Cyclones Handicap for older Iowa registered and foaled males at Prairie Meadows on Saturday night.

Ice Hockey was well-placed behind a slow early pace in the one-and-one-sixteenth-mile test and moved off the rail on the final turn to mount his challenge to the pacesetting Devil of The Game, who had slowed the pace. The Isreal Ocampo-ridden Ice Hockey rallied with Ocampo urging to garb the narrow win in 1:45.06 and break a string of five second-place finishes dating back to his previous win a year ago at Prairie Meadows.

Donald Schrage’s Beware Of The Devil

finished eight-and-one-half lengths ahead of third-place finisher Wings Of War, the 13-10 favorite.

The Chris Richard-trained Ice Hockey, a six-year-old gelding by Cactus Ridge, closed out his 2012 season at Prairie Meadows with a second-place finish in the Ralph Hayes Stakes and then came into the Cyclones Handicap off a runner-up finish in the John Wayne Handicap. Each of those races were for Iowa registered and foaled horses. His other second-place finishes during the year-long stretch came in optional-claiming and allowance races.

The Lyn Chleborad-trained Beware Of The Devil got a heady ride from David Mello, but could not hold off Ice Hockey when it counted. The four-year-old Devil His Due gelding was second in a $30,000 optional-claiming race in his previous start.

JUNE 7, 2013Prairie Meadows, Altoona, IAQueen Lilly Kay gets trip and win in Hawkeyes Handicap

Five One Five O Stables’ Queen Lilly Kay got the trip and her first stakes win when she handled Iowa-registered and foaled females in the Hawkeyes Handicap at Prairie Meadows on Friday night.

Queen Lily Kay raced the one-and-one-sixteenth mile in 1:45.41 for her first win from three tries this year and her first start around two turns.

With Glenn Corbett aboard, Queen Lilly Kay settled into third position behind an hon-est pace until they entered the second turn. Corbett then eased Queen Lily Kay to the out-side and she used her higher cruising speed to take the lead and then draw away to the nearly seven-length win in the full 10-horse field.

Ginger Added, the 17-10 favorite, finished second by three-and-one-half lengths over Rudy’s Edge. Those two mares set the early pace when they raced as team and set up Queen Lily Kay for the win.

Queen Lilly Kay finished second in a five-

and-one-half furlong allowance test when she came back from a four-month freshening in April. The Kelly Von Hemel-trained mare then raced to a third-place finish in the six-furlong Mamie Eisenhower Stakes at 2-1 odds.

It was the second win from eight starts at Prairie Meadows for Queen Lily Kay. Last year she won three-straight races from the $20,000-claiming level to the allowance level, all at Remington Park last fall. Her other win from nine 2012 starts was a Prairie Meadows maiden score.

JUNE 1, 2013Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CAUnusual Way dominates in $100,000 Campanile Stakes

Unusual Way, the 4-5 favorite ridden by Russell Baze, posted an impressive front-run-ning victory in the $100,000 Campanile Stakes at Golden Gate Fields.

Making her turf debut, Unusual Way won the one-mile race for California-bred 3-year-old fillies by 2 1/4 lengths over stretch-running Qiaona in 1:36.81. Life Is a Stone finished third.

“She was in control the whole way,” said Baze. “She could have won by more but she was kind of gawking down the lane.”

Unusual Way raced comfortably on the lead in company with 26-1 longshot Adriatic Skye to the far turn. When Adriatic Skye began to weaken, Life Is a Stone moved up as if she would challenge Unusual Way but the favorite quickly darted away entering the stretch.

“When the other filly (Life Is a Stone) came up to her on the far turn, she just moved away from her,” said Baze. “This is a very nice filly. She acclimated herself well to the turf.”

Unusual Way, a very consistent daughter of Unusual Heat, has recorded four wins, three seconds and a third in 10 career starts. The Campanile was her third stakes victory and the $60,000 payday boosted her earnings to $372,110.

Unusual Way is trained by Jeff Bonde and owned in partnership by Phil Lebherz and Edward J. Brown, Jr. How high is Bonde on

Betfair Hollywood Park, Inglewood, CAClubhouse Ride shakes seconditis, wins Californian

Ending a streak of five consecutive run-ner-up finishes – three behind Game On Dude in two different states – Clubhouse Ride won the $150,500, Grade 2 Californian Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Positioned closest to an early duel be-tween Batti Man and Blueskiesnrainbows by jockey Garrett Gomez, Clubhouse Ride took over midway around the turn, drew clear and wasn’t seriously challenged by favored Liaison in the final eighth of a mile. The margin of vic-tory was 2 ¼ lengths.

Owned by Six-S Racing Stable and Nikolas Petralia and trained by Craig Lewis, the 5-year-old son of Candy Ride and the Seeking the Gold mare Seeking Results won for the fourth time in 28 starts. He increased his bankroll to $959,620 with his first graded success.

Beaten only a half-length by 2012 Califor-nian and Hollywood Gold Cup winner Game On Dude in the Grade 2 Charles Town Classic April 20 in West Virginia after chasing that one previously in the San Antonio Stakes and Santa Anita Handicap, Clubhouse Ride completed the 1 1/8 miles over Cushion Track in 1:51.02.

In providing Gomez with his first Califor-nian win since Skimming in 2001, Clubhouse Ride, who was bred in Kentucky by Sid and Jenny Craig, paid $8, $3.40 and $2.80 as the 3-1 second choice in the field of seven.

Several lengths off the lead Saturday after consecutive pace-pressing victories in his first two starts of 2013, Liaison rallied to finish 2 ¼ lengths clear of 19-1 shot Oilisblackgold.

The even-money favorite and winner of the Grade 2 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap May 4, Li-aison returned $2.80 and $2.20. Oilisblackgold paid $5.40 to show.

Completing the order of finish were Kettle Corn, the 7-2 third choice, Batti Man, Holladay Road and Blueskiesnrainbows.

Gomez, who rode Clubhouse Ride for the first time in the Charles Town Classic, thinks a trip to the winner’s circle – the first for the chestnut since an optional claiming win on the Santa Anita turf last Oct. 25– could be benefi-cial.

“He’s been running against a real quality horse, so it’s nice to get a win with him,’’ said Gomez. “This might even help his confidence level a bit and make him a better horse.’’

The day began with Et Tu Walker becom-ing the Spring/Summer meet’s first three time winner.

Owned by Jeff Ho, Gary Margolis and trainer Doug O’Neill, the 4-year-old son of Shakespeare won the optional claimer on turf by 1 ¼ lengths under jockey Mario Gutierrez.

All three of Et Tu Walker’s victories in the first 24 days of the meet have come at six furlongs on grass. Before Saturday, his other wins had come against $25,000 claimers April 25 and $40,000 claimers May 17. Gutierrez was also aboard for those wins as well as the ridgling’s maiden victory over Cushion Track last July 12.

Prairie Meadows, Altoona, IAHitechnoweenie rallies for Panther Stakes win

Peter Callahan’s Hitechnoweenie made a run from off the pace, a departure from her recent strategy, to win the $60,000 Panther Stakes for three-year-old fillies over one mile at Prairie Meadows.

One race earlier on the card, Hooties Racing’s Look At The Time battled to win the $50,000 John Franks Memorial Stakes.

The 3-1 second choice, Hitechnoweenie had been near the pace in her previous two starts so the strategy change showed she can be a versatile filly. She was sixth in the early going and then moved up to third at the half-mile pole. Jockey Terry Thompson then sent the filly three-wide and she pulled clear for the three-length win.

Hitechnoweenie was timed in 1:37.14.Canticle finished second by one-and-one-

half lengths over Tough Magic.Hitechnoweenie won her maiden at

Churchill Downs back in November and came off a front-running five-and-one-quarter-length allowance win over one-and-one-sixteenth mile on May 9 at Churchill Downs for trainer Kenny McPeek.

The Harlan’s Holiday daughter was mak-ing her stakes debut in the Panther Stakes.

Craig Drago’s second-place finisher Canticle, a daughter of Unbridled’s Song, was making her third Prairie Meadows starts of the season. The Chris Hartman-trained filly had raced to a win and a third in allowance races.

Our Double Play steps up to win Prairie Mile Stakes

JCM Racing’s Our Double Play took a successful step up in class to win the $60,000 Prairie Mile Stakes for three-year-olds at Prairie Meadows on Saturday night.

Our Double Play showed his speed out of the gate to take the lead in the Prairie Mile and then showed his grit in the stretch to hold on and win by one-and-one-half length.

Shane Laviolette was aboard for the win in 1:36.19.

Bashaar made a run from the rear of the field to challenge Our Double Play before coming up short of the game Our Double Play. Black Bear, the 7-5 favorite, was 14 lengths back for third in the eight-horse field.

Our Double Play is in the best form of his eight-race career for trainer Kenny McPeek. Just a maiden winner from his first six starts, the Grand Slam colt found his form in his previous race when he went from gate-to-wire on the lead to take a $75,000 allowance race at Churchill Downs by more than five lengths.

Shadwell Stables Bashaar was trying to find class relief after finishing ninth in the Grade 2, $200,000 American Turf at Churchill Downs in his previous start. The Street Cry son from the Dainiel Leitz barn came into that race off a maiden win and a non-winners-of-two win at Oaklawn Park.
