Trainer Juan M. Gonzalez continues his hot hand with winner Mitey Moon October 28, 2013 • Zia Park, Hobbs, NM

J

By Michael Cusortelli

uan M. Gonzalez made history at Zia Park on Oct. 28, as the noted Quarter Horseman became the first trainer to send out the top three finishers in the New Mexico Cup Futurity (RG2).

When Mitey Moon, a homebred daughter of First Moonflash racing for Debra J. Laney, crossed the wire first in the 400-yard, $288,830 New Mexico Classic stakes, and the filly gave Gonzalez his fifth victory in a graded futurity this year. His previous wins came with Moonifisant in the April 7, $231,438 New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG2) at Sunland Park, Handsome Jack Flash in both the July 28, $409,434 Zia Futurity (RG1), and the Sept. 2, $2.6-million All American Futurity (Grade 1) at Ruidoso Downs, and You N How Many More in the Oct. 6, $275,489 Hobbs America Futurity (Grade 2) at Zia Park.

Mitey Moon made her 400-yard trip in :19.635, and her winning margin was a neck from Osaka Moon, a Chicks A Blazin filly Gonzalez trains for owners Dosi and Norma Alvarez. Moonifisant, a colt by Sixes Royal prepped by Gonzalez for owners Peter Gallegos, Robert Sanchez and his wife, Patricia, overcame a troubled trip in the middle of the track to run third, just one length behind Mitey Moon.

Gonzalez came close to accomplishing the same feat in the 2010 New Mexico Cup Futurity, when his runners finished first (Streak Of Sixes), third (Moro Moon), and fourth (Six Gun Regard).

The New Mexico-based trainer has long been known for his success with 2-year-old Quarter Horses, as he’s won the Zia Futurity three times and the All American and New Mexican Spring futurities twice each.

What is the key to Gonzalez’s success with young horses?

“The key is just taking care of Mitey Moon winning connections.

the horses, not overworking them and making sure they’re sound and fit to race,” Gonzalez said. “This year, we had a few fast ones at Sunland Park in the spring, a few different ones at Ruidoso during the summer, and a few different ones here at Zia Park. The horse will always tell you when he’s ready.”

The second-fastest qualifier, Mitey Moon was coming off of a second-place finish to fastest qualifier Moonfisant in the last of seven New Mexico Cup Futurity trials on Oct. 12. Despite the filly’s defeat in her trial, as well as the fact that she’d won just one other race in her previous four outs, Laney was confident Mitey Moon would run a good race in the final.

“When I watched the replay of her trial, and it looked like she stumbled a little at the break, like the ground came out from under her,” she said. “But she was catching up at the end, and anytime I see a horse gaining in their trial, I think they’ve got a good shot in the final.”

This has been a storybook year for Laney as well. A resident of Tularosa, New Mexico, where she lives with her husband, Stacy Laney, she is the breeder of Handsome Jack Flash, who she races in partnership with Norma Alvarez and Brenda Alvarez. Handsome Jack Flash has won four of five races and has earned $1,472,271, and the gelding is one of the leading contenders for AQHA champion

2-year-old gelding honors.

“I was telling Norma this morning that if on Jan. 1 someone had asked me to map out what I would’ve considered to be my perfect year, I couldn’t in my wildest dreams have mapped out something like this,” Laney said after the New Mexico Cup Futurity. “How can anyone plan a year like this? It’s been a phenomenal year, and we owe a lot of it to First Moonflash.”

Mitey Moon’s sire, First Moonflash, is Quarter Horse racing’s leading freshman sire. Racing from 2007-09, the now 8-year-old son of First To Flash won 14 of 25 races, including 10 stakes, and earned $969,828. He was the AQHA champion aged stallion in 2009.

First Moonflash is owned by Pierre Amestoy, Maria G. Gonzalez, and Mike Abraham, and he stands at W.L. Mooring’s Double LL Ranch in Bosque, N.M. “The other day, I heard the commentators on TVG say that First Moonflash was one of the best stallions standing in New Mexico, but to me he is one of the best in the nation,” Laney said. “He was really sound when he raced, he raced against the best horses and set track records, and he was an AQHA champion.”

First Moonflash has sired the earners of more than $1.8 million, including Handsome Jack Flash. Mitey Moon’s dam, the winning 10-year-old Yawls Rabbit mare

COVER STORY

Neon Rainbows, is a full sister to Rabbits Rainbow, a multiple graded stakes winner in New Mexico from 1998-99.

The Laneys acquired Neon Rainbows from the mare’s breeder, Jim Lewter, in 2009.

“She was carrying a Jacksboro baby when we bought her, but that horse was really tiny and didn’t really do anything on the racetrack,” said Stacy Laney. “This is the first baby we’ve bred from her to make it to the track.”

All told, Mitey Moon has won two of five starts, and the $138,639 winner’s share of the New Mexico Cup Futurity purse increased her earnings to $163,298.

Earlier this season, the filly was the fastest qualifier to the $357,030 Mountain Top Futurity (R) at Ruidoso Downs, and she ran sixth in the final.

Gonzalez said that Mitey Moon would be pointed to the Dec. 13 Shue Fly Stakes (RG2) trials at Sunland Park.

French Moonflash finished fourth, 1 1/4 lengths behind Mitey Moon. Hot Hot Baby Doll, King Of Pop, Penny Snatchin, Sparkling Heart, Kia Won, and Kaydns Krusader completed the order of finish.

Winning jockey Jaime Leos became the first rider since G.R. Carter Jr. in 2006 to sweep the Classic Futurity and the Classic Derby in the same year. Leos piloted Jess Rueben James to a 27-1 upset in the 440-yard, $198,655 Restricted Grade 2 derby. “It feels real good, and I don’t have words to describe it,” Leos said.

Trainer Wesley Giles saddled the topthree in the 440-yard, $170,480 Restricted Grade 1 Namehimastreaker New Mexico Cup Quarter Horse Championship. Here Kittykittykitty defeated stablemates Bet On Ballou and defending champion Miracle Snow.

Ruidoso Downs, NM Increased security success in joint effort at Ruidoso Downs Security from an elite horseracing security team and stringent drug testing 12 SureBet RacingNews.com • November 2013 • Vol. 7 No. 11

will continue after they proved to be highly successful at Ruidoso Downs over Labor Day weekend.

The two largest purses in American Quarter Horse racing history were paid over Labor Day weekend in the Grade 1, $2.8 million All American Derby and the Grade 1, $2.6 million All American Futurity.

All American Derby winner Feature Hero earned $1,180,110 while All American Futurity winner Handsome Jack Flash winner banked $1.3 million.

The drug tests on horses competing in these record-setting races all came back negative for illegal drugs and the purses have been paid to horsemen.

The drug testing was done at the renowned Kenneth L. Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at University of California at Davis, one of the world’s premier testing laboratories in horse racing.

These innovative tactics came from cooperation between Ruidoso Downs, the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), the New Mexico Racing Commission (NMRC) and the Organization of Racing Investigators.

“Everyone involved came together to show that we are all totally dedicated to racing’s integrity,” said Ruidoso Downs’ general manger Shaun Hubbard. “We are in this for the long haul to guarantee the racing fan the finest product and to protect the jockeys and horses. Racing integrity is the highest priority for every party.

“I, personally, want to thank our partners. We are firmly united and will continue to be united.”

The elite security team from the Organization of Racing Investigators was throughout the Ruidoso Downs stable

area during Labor Day weekend. The team members were all seasoned law enforcement professionals with horse racing experience. They also serve as the special events security team during the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and the Kentucky Derby.

The security at Ruidoso Downs serves as a prototype for future major American Quarter Horse racing events.

“AQHA learned a lot from that weekend working with the enforcement team and the Organization of Racing Investigators,” said AQHA executive director of racing Trey Buck. “We will be proactive working with other tracks and jurisdictions to ensure the integrity of racing.

We are totally dedicated to continue this on a national level for the fans, jockeys and horses.”

This policy and any enhancements will continue at Ruidoso Downs next year when the season starts on May 22 with two days of trials to the Grade 1, $700,000 Ruidoso Futurity.

“We had a good atmosphere and the weather was a lot nicer on the second day of the sale,” said Ed Allred, the owner of Los Alamitos Race Course. “We had a lot of new buyers, young buyers and that was great to see. We’re also very grateful for the people of the Intermountain region as they came in spades to support this sale.

New Orleans, LA LQHBA Youth Day at the Races The Louisiana Quarter

OCT. 2, 2013

SureBet RacingNews.com • November 2013 • Vol. 7 No. 11 17

Horse Breeders Association hosted youth day at the races at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans during the Quarter Horse meet. Youth member of the AQHYA and 4H from Louisiana and Mississippi attended this educational but fun filled day.

The Fair Grounds Race Course and staff were very gracious hosts.

The itinerary started with observing and learning about morning works, horses at the starting gates, the clocker’s stand, visiting barns with explanations of different type of equipment used, observing a farrier, discussions with a veterinarian, a jock agent and jockeys. The participants were thrilled to receive their autographed goggles from the current leading rider in the nation by races won, John Hamilton.

During the lunch break in the track kitchen we discussed pedigrees and how to read a catalog page.

After lunch, the focus was on the “front side”. There were guest speakers including Fair Grounds management, the racing secretary, stewards, and horsemen’s services. Everyone shared information about their roles and how they became involved in racing. A guided tour was provided of the silks room, the jocks room, photo finish booth, stewards area, placing judges and media production.

The first race in the program was named the Youth Classic and all participants drew a horse that would be their horse for the first race.

The participants got to meet their trainer, jockey and horse.

They were able to observe the horse being prepared for the race at the barn and walked over to the paddock with the horses. Prior to the first race the entire jockey colony put on their silks for a photo in the paddock. The youth were so anxious and excited to see their

horses on the track for the first race. Yes, it was educational.

In the first race a horse broke through the gate, a horse scratched at the gate and at the end of the race there was an inquiry and a disqualification. The winner was presented a trophy by the participant that drew that winning horse.

Although the youth were involved with horses in some capacity, the majority of them had never been to the races.

This group was so enthusiastic and eager to learn.

Leverne Perry, Executive Director of the LQHBA said “This was one of our best youth days at the races. I truly believe this program is an important way to educate young people about quarter horse racing and the opportunities available to them in this industry. It is our duty to share our collective wealth of knowledge and experience in this industry, by doing so, we are hopefully preparing the next generation to get involved in quarter horse racing and breeding.

Through our youth day at the races and our scholarship program, we are able to give back to the future of our industry.

It was wonderful to see all of the enthusiasm of everyone involved with this great day at the races.”

Shawn Magee, LQHBA Board member, AQHA National Director and AQHYA Activi-

ties Committee was hands on throughout the program and was very instrumental in bringing this group of youth to the Fair Grounds.

“I would like to thank everyone for their efforts in creating such a successful youth day at the races. It was truly amazing the support every-

one provided. It is our goal to expand our program to have a youth day at every track in Louisiana to allow the opportunity for more youth to participate and learn about quarter horse racing and breeding in Louisiana.”

— Leigh Lepinski, President LQHBA

Wood stays hot with fastest qualifier

Trainer Trey Wood is white hot after Burnett Ranches and Johnny Trotter’s Otoole Hero upset the fourth of four trials at 28-1 odds to set the fastest-qualifying time to the Grade 1, $953,200 Los Alamitos Super Derby on Saturday night at Los Alamitos.

A week earlier, Wood trained runners won the Grade 1 Dash For Cash Futurity and the Grade 2 PCQHRA Breeders Derby.

Breeders’ Futurity winner Viva Mi Corazon winner is also owned by Burnett Estates and Trotter. On Friday night, the Wood-trained Jess Found Joy won the Autumn Handicap at Los Alamitos.

Otoole Hero upset a very deep Super Derby trial when he raced with the leaders from the inside post position and then pulled away under jockey Ricky Ramirez to defeat Grade 1, $2.8 million runner Bon Accord by one-half length. Bon Accord and third-place finisher Kat Quick also qualified from the trial.

Otoole Hero stopped the timer in :19.567 for the 400 yards to top the qualifiers list.

Otoole Hero, a gelding by Valiant Hero, raced to his first win since taking a maiden race 11 months ago at Los Alamitos. He came off an extended layoff to compete in the All American Derby trials and finished second by a head with a sharp :21.434 time.

Also making the Super Derby were Grade 1 stakes winners Remembering Spence and Matabari.

Rosa Barboza’s Remembering Spence, the 2-5 favorite, won the third trial by oneand-one-quarter lengths with the secondfastest time of :19.614.

The Juan Aleman-trained Remembering Spence won his fourth-straight race in the trial. During the winning streak he won the Grade 1, $232,000 Los Alamitos Winter Derby back in February and he came off a win in the Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap. He could gain the favorite’s role in the Super Derby.

Balgo Racing Teams and Marilyn Gonzalez’s Matabari, winner of the Los Alamitos Two Million, tries to add the largest purse for three-year-olds at Los Alamitos to her resume after winning the first trial with the third-fastest time of :19.634. She also could be the Super Derby favorite.

The Guillermo Morales-trained Matabari narrowly won the Two Million by a nose and she won her Super Derby trial by the same margin over Scoop Of Sunshine. Joining Matabari and Scoop Of Sunshine in that close trial were third-place finisher Lavish Susan and fourth-place finisher Henoshersecret.

Matabari was making her first start since competing at Ruidoso Downs last summer.

She won an optional-claiming race and then was a troubled third in her All American Derby trial.

The Super Derby qualifiers are: Otoole Hero (:19.567), Remembering Spence (:19.614), Matabari (:19.634), Scoop Of Sunshine (:19.638), Scatmandu (:19.652), Lavish Susan (:19.669), Bon Accord (:19.680), He-

Runner-up Catchin Fire and fourthplace finisher Shining Minute competed as an entry so there was only win, exacta and quinella wagering.

Carters Crown, with Berkley Packer aboard, had the race in hand quickly. He broke sharply from the outside post position and had the entire outside half of the track to himself. The Carters Cartel gelding raced the 400 yards in :19.514 to establish a new stakes record.

Catchin Fire finished one length ahead of Tellher To Fly. The Kirk Wessels-trained Carters Crown was the horse to beat after winning his maiden by more than four lengths two starts before the Polk County Derby and then taking a conditioned allowance race by two lengths.

In the $66,300 Terrace Hill Stakes for older runners, John Lawless’ Eufaula Me scored a win during Iowa Champions Night for the second-straight year after winning the Polk County Derby last year.

Eufaula Me broke sharply under Berkley Packer and just kept grinding to the finish line to get the three-quarter-length win in a stakes-record :19.584 Wheres Your Wagon finished second by one-and-one-half lengths over Shake Em Streakin.

Eufaula Me won last year’s Polk County Derby by two lengths and showed he was ready for the Terrace Hill when he won a Prairie Meadows allowance race by twoand-one-quarter lengths on September 13.

The four-year-old Okey Dokey Dale-sired gelding now has two wins, and two seconds from seven starts this year. Last year, he won four of seven starts and was on the board six times for trainer Brent Clay.

With David Brown in the saddle, Big Boys Joy was timed in 17.772 for the 350 yards.

Big Boys Joy was making just his fourth start in the Bader Futurity. The Royal Shake Em son won his maiden by a nose two starts ago and then was fifth as the 9-10 choice in his Bader trial. His time of :18.007 was the ninth-fastest qualifying mark.

Williams Racing Stables’ Wrs Jessarabbit was fourth in that same trial with the eighthfastest time of :17.980. The Kasey Willistrained daughter of Agouti is still a maiden after six starts and the close second-place finish in the Bader is the only time she has finished in the top-three runners.

Ken Denning’s Justa Cartel was the third-fastest qualifier after finishing second by a nose in his trial. The Teller Cartel gelding trained by Brent Clay won his maiden in his start before his Bader trial.

In the $91,700 Polk County Derby, Carters Crown pulled away to win by two lengths as the 1-2 favorite after three horses were trainer scratches, reducing the field to four sophomores.

OCT. 11, 2013 Los Alamitos Race Course, Cypress, CA Jess Found Joy keeps Wood hot at Los Al

Trainer Trey Wood has found a winning strategy at Los Alamitos and it worked again on Friday night when Turners Farms’ Jess Found Joy pulled away for a three-quarterlength win in the $35,000 Autumn Handicap.

That strategy is take horse who competed in trial races to the three Grade 1 futurities at Ruidoso Downs – the Ruidoso, Rainbow and All American Futurities – take them to Los Alamitos and turn them into stakes winners. Last Saturday night, Trotter’s Viva Mi Corazon dominated the Grade 2, $435,000 PCQHRA Breeders’ Futurity after winning his Ruidoso Futurity trial and encountering trouble in his Rainbow and All American futurity trials.

Jess Found Joy started with her rivals under Ricky Ramirez and then appeared to be a horse who wants added distance when she drew out to the convincing win in a quick :17.589 for the 350 yards.

“She’s a talented filly,” Ramirez said.

“She didn’t get away too strong, but after a couple of jumps she made the lead and coasted from there.”

A daughter of Mr Jess Perry, Jess Found Joy made her only other starts in trials at Ruidoso Downs for Trey’s father, Blane Wood.

She scored wins with non-qualifying times in her Ruidoso Futurity trial and her All American Futurity trial. She had a 12-mph headwind in her Ruidoso Futurity trial. She was the 4-5 favorite in her All American Futurity trial.

Felix Gonzalez’s A Mere Diva, a 15-1 outsider, finished second by a neck over Jose Espinosa’s favored The Kat In The Hat, also trained by Wood and pointing at the $150,000 John Deere Juvenile Challenge Championship on Nov. 9 at Los Alamitos.

winning his trial by a head with the thirdfastest time of :17.624.

It was tight at the wire with Shazoomin Rose a head behind Oldsmobile Hill and it was only a neck back to third-place finisher I Don’t Need Nobody. The top eight finishers were separated by four noses, a head and two necks.

Respected at 7-2 odds, Oldsmobile Hill started his career back on March 2 when he won her Harrah’s Entertainment Futurity trial by a nose and earned a spot in the finals.

She was then dropped into conditioned allowance races and her best effort was a third-place run in the race before her Valley Junction Futurity trial.

Nadia Marcoux’s Shazoomin Rose was second in her second straight race after finishing second in her trial. The Sgazoom filly’s only win came for a $20,000 claiming tag in a maiden race back in March.

JK Running Horses LLC’s I Dont Need Nobody kept his consistent record intact with his third-place effort. He won his trials to the Valley Junction Futurity and the John Deere Prairie Meadows Challenge and then finished third in each race.

Also on the program were the Altoona Derby and the Two Rivers Stakes with favorites taking each dash.

In the $148,800 Altoona Derby, Miguel Banuelos’ Kuhl Wave surged to the lead and then held off a late bid from Spit Curl American to gain her third stakes win of the year.

RACE RECAPS - QUARTER HORSE

Viva Mi Corazon

Significant Heart

Pf Flyair

Sired by First Down Dash, Viva Mi Corazon was sent off as the 2-1 favorite in the Breeders’ Futurity after setting the fastestqualifying time from 11 trials when he won the second trial by three quarters of a length with a time of :17.333.

Viva Mi Corazon went to Los Alamitos after competing this summer at Ruidoso Downs for Wood’s father Blane. He showed promise when he won his trial to the Grade 1, $700,000 Ruidoso Futurity, however his time was not fast enough to qualify for the futurity. He then had troubled trips in his trials to the Grade 1, $1 million Rainbow Futurity and the Grade 1, $2.6 million All American Futurity and lost all chance to show his best form in those rich futurities.

The gelding overcame that misfortune at Los Alamitos and earned $178,500 for the Breeders’ Futurity win. The total take by Dynastys First Call and Viva Mi Corazon totaled $342,066 and each horse could be racing for larger purses before year’s end.

Vessels Stallion Farms’ homebred runner-up Dynasty of Habits, sired by Fdd Dynasty, won her maiden for a $20,000 claiming tag two starts before the Breeders’ Futurity with no takers and then won her Breeders’ Futurity trial by three quarters of a length. The Cody Joiner-trained filly was the fifth-fastest qualifier with a :17.573 time.

Spackman Racing and Lin Melton’s third-place runner Smithy, another gelding

by Fdd Dynasty, won his maiden back in August at Los Alamitos and returned to win his Breeders’ Futurity trial by a neck as the ninth-fastest qualifier in :17.621.

Heart came through at 16-1 odds to lead a one-two finish by Corona Cartel fillies from the Paul Jones barn in the Grade 3, $178,500 PCQHRA Breeders’ Derby on Friday night at Los Alamitos.

One race earlier, Tony Greaves’ Pf Flyair defeated a field of horses who raced in the Intermountain Region or the Northwest with a victory in the $30,000 Blane Schvaneveldt Stakes.

Significant Heart was slightly jostled at the start, quickly recovered and went to the lead of the 400-yard dash. She kept driving to the finish line to score the first graded stakes win of her 10-race career and her fourth win from five starts this year.

The filly finished one-half length ahead of stable mate Look Whos Running, a homebred from the Double Bar S Ranch.

Significant Heart, ridden by Eduardo Nicasio, was timed in a :20.048 for the 400 yards while racing into a 26-mph head wind.

Tres Coronas Mas was a head behind Look Whos Running for third while 4-5 favorite and Golden State Derby winner Far Niente finished fourth.

Significant Heart has improved this year after winning her maiden in her 2013 debut back in May. Jones brought her back in the Lanty’s Jet Handicap, an overnight stakes for fillies, and she responded with a threequarter length victory. She then won a conditioned allowance race before a third-place run with the fourth-fastest qualifying time in herPCQHRA Breeders’ Derby trial behind fastest-qualifier Far Niente.

Look Whos Running has also come through for Jones this year. She returned from a seven-month layoff to dominate a conditioned allowance race by one-andone-half lengths and then took the Srylish Jess Br Stakes, a $15,000 overnight handicap. The filly turned in the eighth-fastest qualifying time to the Breeders’ Derby while finishing second in her trial.

“This is the strongest group of 3-yearold fillies that I’ve had in a really long time,” Jones said. “Significant Heart was just phenomenal. She’s been very strong the whole year.”

The Vessels Stallion Farms’ homebred Tres Coronas Mas was third for trainer Cody Joiner after an impressive one-and-onequarter-length trial win with the thirdfastest qualifying time. That was the only win from four starts this year for the Tres Seis-sired gelding.

In the Schvaneveldt, Pf Flyair simply raced to the front and never let any of his rivals challenge him on his way to the threequarter-length victory over Gallant Mystic.

Favored Vodka With Ice finished third.

While facing a 25-mph headwind, the Jordan Hadley-ridden Pf Flyair covered the 400 yards in :19.917 to win his Los Alamitos debut. The gelding is trained by Jordan’s mother Susan Hadley.

The Hadley family has long been connected to the Schvaneveldt family. In the winner’s circle, Jordan gave the winner’s belt buckle to his father Sherman. “Sherm” Hadley is now confined to a wheelchair after an 800-pound hay bale fell on him in 2008.

“That was special,” said the 22-year-old Jordan. “My dad trained here and worked for Blane. It was special to hand my dad the buckle.”

A gelding by Dashair, Pf Flyair traveled to Los Alamitos after setting a track record in the $34,000 Sweetwater Downs Derby in Wyoming on August 31. The gelding took that 400-yard dash in :19.588 to win by a neck. He set the fastest-qualifying time in the trials.

Earlier this year, Pf Flyair won the Bitterroot Derby and last year he was second in the Sweetwater Downs Futurity.

Pf Flyair raised his record to seven wins from 11 starts with the Schvaneveldt score.

Rise Up broke sharply before settling into second position behind early pacesetter Burning Warrior in the one-mile test for 2-year-olds. Burning Warrior opened up a four-length lead racing up the backstretch while at the same time carving out suicidal fractions of 22.31 seconds for the opening quarter mile and 45.50 for the half.

When the second turn arrived Burning Warrior was spent and threw in the towel, allowing Rise Up to go by with ease before the latter opened a clear lead in the homestretch. At the finish line Rise up was 6-1/2 lengths clear of Mighty Brown who rallied for second while Flat Gone grabbed the show position, another 7-1/4 lengths up the track.

Rise Up covered the eight furlongs over a fast track in 1:38.20. It was the second fastest Jean Lafitte clocking behind Rule, who won the 2009 edition in 1:37.45. Rule, a Todd Pletcher trainee, would eventually win the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot a few weeks later.

In addition to his victory with Rise Up, Melancon also won the $150,000 My Trusty Cat Stakes at Delta Downs on Friday night aboard Synapse.

Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CA Miss Machiavelli triumphs in Pike Place Dancer Stakes

She spotted her rivals a head start and raced greenly in the stretch but evenmoney favorite Miss Machiavelli still got the job done in the $100,000 Pike Place Dancer Stakes at Golden Gate Fields.

Ridden by Dennis Carr, Miss Machiavelli rallied from last in a field of six to win the one-mile turf race for 2-year-old fillies by a half-length over game 11-1 shot Alasharchy in 1:39.42. Pleasant Miss finished third, 2 1/2 lengths behind Alasharchy.

“She broke in a little bit at the start, so we kind of spotted them a little more than I would have liked, but it gave me a chance to get to know her,” said Carr. “She never got rank on me and was really relaxed. We got an inside trip and it opened up when we needed it to open.

“Something caught her eye and she ducked out on me (at the top of the stretch), but once she got back running I thought we had plenty of time to get them,” continued Carr. “She’s not the biggest thing but she’s got a lot of fight in her.”

Alasharchy, who was making her first start in two months and trying two turns and turf for the first time, also showed plenty of fight under jockey Frank Alvarado.

“If this filly had one race before this race, she wins for fun,” said Alvarado. “She ran really good for me. I kept trying to wait (before asking her) because it was her first time going a mile. The last sixteenth she got a little tired. It’s hard to get beat like that, but it’s part of the game.”

Miss Machiavelli, who had a bit of a rough trip while running fifth in the Surfer Girl Stakes at Santa Anita in her previous race, paid $4.00 after collecting her second win in four career starts. Trained by Keith Desormeaux and owned by Big Chief Racing, LLC, Miss Machiavelli earned $60,000 for the victory in the Pike Place Dancer.

Miss Machiavelli was bred in Kentucky and is a bay daughter of Artie Schiller.

Favored Wishing Gate overcame an outside post and a tardy start to register an authoritative 1 ¼ length win over 10 sophomore fillies in Saturday’s Grade 3, $100,000 Autumn Miss Stakes under Gary Stevens, as the Tom Proctor trainee covered one mile on turf in 1:34.67.

With Santa Anita’s temporary rail set at 24 feet, Wishing Gate broke a step slow from post 10 and was three wide throughout as she tracked fractions of 23.50, 48.17 and 1:11.66, all set by longshot Journey On, who was ridden by Martin Pedroza from post 11.

“I hit the side of the gate pretty hard leaving there,” said Stevens. “I rarely hear the announcer going into the first turn, but I think I heard Trevor (Denman) say ‘they’re flying up front,’ and I’m thinkin’, ‘No they’re not!’ since I had her well in hand. She’s a good filly, real push-button. I can put her where I want.

“She was real light-mouthed before and Tom changed some equipment, and she’s trained well…Once we got out of the first turn I was pretty confident. She gives you that feeling throughout the race. She’s got a nice turn of foot.”

Owned and bred in Florida by Leonard Lavin’s Glen Hill Farm, Wishing Gate provided the veteran trainer/jockey combo of Proctor and Stevens their fifth win of the Autumn Meet, and their second addedmoney tally.

Delta Downs’ 2013-14 stakes schedule kicked off on Friday night as heavily favored Bahnah won by four lengths in the $150,000 My Trusty Cat but was disqualified and placed fifth for bumping a rival going into the far turn. That left the glory to Synapse, who finished second but was moved up to the win for the first time in her three-race career.

Bahnah entered Friday night’s main event as the only graded stakes winner in a field six after dead-heating with Brazen Persuasion in the Schuylerville Stakes (Gr. III) at Saratoga on July 19. That fact helped make her the 1-5 wagering favorite in the My Trusty Cat and it appears she would come through under jockey Corey Lanerie.

After breaking sharply from the gate, Bahnah was taken in hand by Lanerie as she volleyed for the lead with Ima Three Blinger and Lady Grantham. Midway up the backstretch Lanerie gave her the reins and she pulled clear by about a length before Lady Grantham re-rallied and tried to hold the rail position heading into the second turn. At that point Bahnah dropping down toward the inside and made contact with Lady Grantham, causing her to check sharply and lose several lengths while the rest of the field went by attempting to catch the leader.

At the finish line Bahnah was well clear of Synapse, who rallied from last.

Synapse’s journey was much less eventful as jockey Gerard Melancon took his mount to the back of the field before launching a strong rally while wide turning for home. In the stretch Synapse passed tiring rivals but was no threat to the original winner. Ima Three Blinger stayed on for third, finishing ¾ of a length behind Synapse.

The final running time in the My Trusty Cat was 1:26.73 over a fast track.

The win by Synapse not only marked the first victory of her career, it also came in her first start over a dirt surface. The Andrew Leggio, Jr. trainee had only raced on turf at Louisiana Downs during her first two trips to the starting gate which including a maiden race and the Happy Ticket Stakes, where she finished a troubled fourth.

Synapse earned $90,000 for her win and also gained an automatic berth into the $500,000 Delta Downs Princess (Gr. III) on Jackpot Day, Saturday, November 23. Overall

OCt. 19, 2013 Golden Gate Fields, Berkeley, CA Stormy Lucy romps in Miss America

Stormy Lucy stormed away from her seven rivals in the stretch and posted a four-length victory in $53,700 Miss America Stakes at Golden Gate Fields.

Carrying jockey Isaias Enriquez to his first victory at the fall meeting, Stormy Lucy won the 1 1/16-mile turf feature for fillies and mares in 1:44.78 and paid $9.40 as the 7-2 second choice in the wagering.

Halo Dolly, the 3-5 favorite ridden by Russell Baze, took second by 1 1/4 lengths over Lady Aspen.

“That was a nice way to break my maiden (at the meeting),” said Enriquez, who had Stormy Lucy in fourth place down the backstretch and then eased her to the lead coming into the stretch.

“I just waited for the right time to make my move,” said Enriquez. “She was on the bit and when I tapped her a few times, she just zoomed away. The way she was finishing, I knew nobody was going to be able to catch me.”

Halo Dolly had to wait for racing room in the stretch but eventually got through along the rail.

“I not sure that, even if I had got through cleaner, I would have been able to beat the winner,” said Baze. “She ran pretty strong away from us. I certainly would have liked to have had some place to go about the five-sixteenths pole and see if I could have made her work for it more. I just had to wait, wait, wait, and when I finally got some place to go, it was too late.”

Stormy Lucy, trained by Frank Lucarelli, improved to 2-for-2 on the Golden Gate Fields turf course. Last year, the Kentuckybred daughter of Stormy Atlantic won the 1 1/16-mile Golden Poppy Stakes in similar off-the-pace fashion.

“Last year she had a great kick, so I was hoping to see that again and she did,” said Lucarelli, who has been racing Stormy Lucy in Southern California. “I was glad to see this

She’s All In

Imahit

Oklahoma-bred Thoroughbreds at Remington Park, was expected to be a final sendoff party for millionaire She’s All In. The top Oklahoma-bred in training did not disappoint as she won her record fourth consecutive $129,500 Classics Distaff, presented by the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, and left the track a winner… one last time.

Owned by Robert Zoellner of Tulsa, Okla. and trained by Donnie Von Hemel, She’s All In has been ridden regularly by Luis Quinonez over the past two years. He let her talent do the work, sitting just off the early pace then moving to the lead going into the final turn. She’s All In rolled to an easy 6-1/4 length win in her swansong, covering 1 mile-70yards in 1:42.92 with plenty left in reserve over the fast track.

“I hate to see here go, I’m going to miss her,” Quinonez said. “She’s been good to me.

I’m just happy to be a part of it.”

She’s All In won her 16th race from 38 career starts with 11 of them coming at Remington Park from 14 starts here. The Distaff winner’s share of $77,700 boosts her final career earnings to $1,102,489. Bred by Zoellner, She’s All In is a 6-year-old mare by Include from the Hickory Ridge mare Georgia OK. She is slated to be sold in November as a potential broodmare.

“It’s bittersweet. It’s her last race. I’m pretty emotional right now but what a ride,” Zoellner said with elation. “Four (Distaffs) in a row. I want to thank Donnie (Von Hemel), Luis Q and Joe Flemmings, my farm manager. What a great job everybody’s done with this mare. It’s been so much fun. I wish everybody out there can experience what I’m experiencing right now.”

The super-favorite in the wagering at 1-9 odds, She’s All In paid $2.20 to win, $2.10 to place and $2.10 to show. Pets Superstar was along for a distant second to pay $6 to place and $4.20 to show. Foreign Sultress was another 2-1/4 lengths behind in third

and returned $2.60 to show.

She’s All In has won every Classics Distaff since 2010 and ends her Remington Park career perfect at the Distaff distance of 1 mile-70 yards, winning all six of her starts at the measure. Overall, she earned $520,144 of her total bankroll at Remington Park.

She’s All In gave Von Hemel a training triple on the night and his all-time leading 25th Oklahoma Classics win in the process.

The Distaff triumph was the 13th Classics win for Quinonez.

$158,000 Chickasaw Nation Oklahoma Classics Cup

The richest race on the Classics card took a backseat to the She’s All In retirement party but a future Oklahoma-bred star may have come of age in winning the 2013 Classics Cup. Imahit, a colossal 4-yearold gelding, ran a near perfect race to have something left for the final quarter mile and then pulling away to win by 1-1/4 lengths.

Owned, trained and bred by C.R. Trout of Edmond, Okla., Imahit was ridden by Ken Tohill. He had Imahit placed in mid-pack in the field of eight, waiting about four lengths off the pace duel of My Brother Don and Polka Joke going into the final turn of the 1-1/16 miles. At that point, Tohill moved Imahit to the outside where he smoothly went to the lead, while going three-wide, by the time the field reached mid-stretch.

Z Rockstar was the first to reach the early leaders and briefly had the advantage in the lane. However, Imahit took it away from Z Rockstar about as quickly as he had gained it. Imahit comfortably drew away for victory in 1:44.16 over the fast main track.

Late-running Ted’s Folly closed for second, a neck ahead of Z Rockstar who held third.

Cloud Harbor to win by a half-length in a time of 1:10.92.

“I was pretty confident down the stretch, and then I could see Cloud Harbor coming at him,” Evans said. “This horse is a dog fighter. Even in the mornings working he only wants to do what he has to do. He doesn’t want to go out there and beat you six or seven lengths. He wants to beat you a half-length, a neck.”

Alsono began his career in Kentucky, finishing in-the-money in three of four maiden races at Keeneland and Churchill Downs. Evans said he had his eye on Alsono in the Fasig-Tipton Summer Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale in Lexington, Kentucky, in July. After Alsono did not meet his $50,000 reserve Evans and owner Tony Pennington arranged a private purchase for $48,000.

“We saw the horse in the sale, and I really liked the horse,” Evans said. “I kind of kicked myself that we didn’t buy him in the sale. I’ll be darned about a week later we got to buy him privately, and it really worked out well for us.”

Alsono now calls New Mexico home.

The chestnut colt broke his maiden by two lengths at Zia Park on Sept. 7 and made it two in a row in the Governor’s Cup as the 9-5 third choice in a field of four.

“There are a lot of positives for him,” Evans said. “Eventually we want to try to get him to stretch out and route a little bit for the Riley Allison Futurity at Sunland in December or maybe even the (Lost in the Fog) Juvenile in Phoenix in December.”

Cloud Harbor was making his return to New Mexico where he broke his maiden.

She was spot-on today, she has that racing fight in her. I know that six and a half probably isn’t her best distance but the race set up for us and I knew she was going to put in a big kick.”

The fifth choice in the betting at 8-1, Qiaona paid $19.60, $6.60 and $4. With the winner’s share of $60,000, she increased her bankroll to $439,994. In her first try against older company, she improved her overall record to 15-4-4-2.

As expected, Ismene, who was drawn outside, dueled early with fellow speed merchant Tasty Treat and Rafael Bejarano, but the battle was short-lived, as Ismene soon gained the advantage and was allowed to set what would have to be considered a moderate pace.

The second choice at 7-2, Ismene finished three quarters of a length in front of Bella Viaggia and paid $4.40 and $3.

Favored Bella Viaggia broke from the rail and sat a stalking trip down the hill under Stevens but lacked the necessary rally, finishing third, a half length in front of longshot Mia Lady and Victor Espinoza.

“I was in a perfect spot,” said an introspective Stevens. “I thought I had enough horse. I didn’t want to get stopped crossing the dirt and chose to swing out and it was a losing move. It was a horrible move.

Mike (Smith, on Ismene) had horse and the winner got through where I was sitting, so it was a bad move on my part. The mare was ready. She ran her race and I didn’t do my job.

Bella Viaggia paid $2.10 to show.

“I rode his daddy (Good Journey, a Grade 1 turf winner) and I knew he’d love the grass. On paper, there was a lotta speed in the race, I thought, top to bottom. My horse broke on the lead, but I was able to ease him back, no problem, and he ran a big race.”

Owned by Paul A. Viskovich, Aotearoa paid $28.60, $7.60 and $4.60. With the winner’s share of $60,000, he more than doubled his earnings to $114,000.

“The breeding was there,” said Powell. “He’s by Good Journey and we always thought he would like the grass, especially the way he moves in the morning. Today I was happy because he was a lot better in the pre-race than he was at Del Mar…and Nakatani gave him a great ride.”

Though the Zuma Beach could serve as a prep for those wishing to run in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf on Nov. 1, Powell said that his horse is not nominated “so it would be expensive. We’ll see how he comes out of this race first.”

While Nakatani and Aotearoa had an idyllic trip, Julien Leparoux and Diamond Bachelor, a $570,000 Barretts March 2-yearold in training purchase, had anything but, as they were pressured from the outset by Gary Stevens and Station House through early splits of 22.53 and 45.76, with Station House getting the lead past the half mile and succumbing mid way on the far turn after six furlongs in 1:10.19 and seven in 1:22.44.

“We went fast to the first turn, so I was content to tuck in behind (Stevens, aboard Station House), which was good for me since the first part took a lot out of him.

He ran his race. He got a little distracted in the stretch, looking around, but I’m not taking anything away from the winner.

He ran big, but my horse did too. He ran a good race.”

Trained by Patrick Biancone, Diamond Bachelor finished 1 ¾ lengths in front of Got Shades and Joe Talamo, and paid $2.40 and $2.10.

“We have nothing to complain about,” said Biancone. “Breeders’ Cup? We’ll go home, we’ll talk.”

Off at 8-1, Got Shades was next-to-last going to the far turn, split horses into the stretch and outfinished Irish-bred Home School with Rafael Bejarano, securing a third place finish by a half length.

“We were very pleased with what he did today,” said O’Neill assistant Leandro Mora. “It looks like, according to our owners, that we aren’t going to stay sprinting.

We thought we could sprint but the talk is that we are going to keep him at a mile…

Even Rafael (Bejarano) said, ‘Please, let’s go longer.’ He’s got a great kick. The Breeders’ Cup Mile (Nov. 2) is next, definitely.”

Goldencents, who took blinkers off today, was well back early and closed with a rush, finishing 2 ½ lengths in front of Distinctive Passion.

Goldencents paid $3.20 and $2.40.

Turf Paradise, Phoenix, AZ Absolutely Cool gets trip and Bienvenidos win

Karl Krieg’s homebred Absolutely

Cool received a near perfect trip and showed why he adores Turf Paradise with a one-length win in the $35,000 Bienvenidos Stakes on the season’s opening day.

Jockey Rocco Bowen kept Absolutely Cool in a striking position in the six-andone-half furlong test and they went to the lead between horses on the turn. The sixyear-old gelding drew clear in the stretch and held safe deep-closer First Strike. It was another three quarters of a length back to third-place finisher Jamaican Memories.

Absolutely Cool was timed in 1:16.77 for his fourth win from 14 starts at the Phoenix track. He also has five secondplace finishes and four third-place finishes at Turf Paradise.
