Broadway Empire leads

throughout Oklahoma Derby

Heavy favorite Departing finishes fourth September 29, 2013 • Remington Park, Oklahoma City, OK

D

eparting came into the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park, seeking a fourth derby score in 2013. A heavy-wagering favorite at 1-5 odds, Departing could not rally to catch pace-setting Broadway Empire who led throughout to pull the upset.

The winner of the Canadian Derby in late August at Northlands Park in Edmonton, Alberta, Broadway Empire figured to be the horse on the lead early in the 1-1/8 miles Oklahoma Derby. Despite setting good fractions throughout, Broadway Empire never tired and was never challenged, leading by a least a length or more for the entire trip around the fast main track. Drawing away by four lengths at the end, Broadway Empire captured his second straight derby in 1:49.44.

The plan to compete in the Oklahoma Derby was mapped out months ago by trainer Robertino Diodoro and came to fruition with a solid effort. “You want to take one step at a time. Before the Canadian Derby, I had this race picked out and it all worked out.”

Jockey Rico Walcott rode Broadway Empire, as he did in his last two stakes wins at Northlands Park, including the Canadian Derby. He was confident of the gelding’s chances despite the heavy considerations of Departing who had previously won the Illinois Derby, the West Broadway Empire, Rico Walcott up; at right, winning connections.

Virginia Derby and the Super Derby.

“I talked to Robertino, he told me the horse was training good. A couple people had told me about the 7-horse (Departing) as the horse I had to watch. I just got him out of the gates and got a good break. He dragged me out to the front so I just tried to get him to relax. When we were coming into the head of the lane I asked him and he picked it up.”

Walcott believed Broadway Empire could handle the Oklahoma Derby measure, having won the Canadian Derby on a five-furlong track, going a quarter-mile farther.

“He felt pretty good to me when he was finishing out like he would still go some more. The last race he ran was 1-3/8 miles so he shortened up a little bit and I thought he had a good chance.”

Broadway Empire handled a quartermile in :23.29; the half-mile in :46.71;

COVER STORY three-quarters in 1:11.15 and a mile in 1:35.97.

An Alberta partnership of Randy Howg, Bob Butz, Fouad El Kardy and Rick Running Rabbit all made the trek to Oklahoma City to watch their charge and the trip was well worth the effort.

“I told Robertino if it was up to me we’d probably have about 10 races under our belt,” Running Rabbit credited. “He’s done an excellent job of managing the horse and all the credit goes to him and his crew.”

Away at 3-1 odds, Broadway Empire paid $8.80 to win, $4.20 to place and $30 to show. Cameo Appearance chased the pace-setter throughout and managed second to pay $9 to place and $43.60 to show. Carve was just up for third in the final strides to pay $76.40 to show. A new record show payoff at Remington Park.

The show pays were elevated due to an extreme amount of show money placed on Departing who did not cash the tickets for his big backers, running fourth, three-quarters of a length behind Carve.

The first win for all of the connections in the Oklahoma Derby, Broadway Empire won his fourth race from six starts, all in 2013.

The winner’s share of $240,000 boosted his career total to $405,745.

Broadway Empire is by Empire Maker from the Belong To Me mare Broadway Hoofer and was bred in Kentucky by Mercedes Stables.

The remaining order of finish was Braveman (5th), Holiday Mischief (6th), Texas Bling (7th) and He Has Bling (8th).

The Oklahoma Derby was the main event on a Sunday afternoon card featuring five other stakes races.

$200,000 Remington Park Oaks

sidered the best 3-year filly in the nation, to win the $200,000 Remington Oaks virtually gate to wire.

The win did not come easily for the 5-2 betting public’s second-choice, as Montana Native fought every step of the race to win by a nose over the tenacious Gold Medal Dancer.

“I was able to sit pretty much until the head of the lane,” said jockey Terry Thompson of his run aboard Montana Native. “Luis’ (Quinonez) horse (Gold Medal Dancer) was on us all the way. It was just a horse race from the eighth-pole home.

We were just fortunate to have the headbob at the wire. Both fillies dug in and you couldn’t split them. Our head was down at the wire.”

Montana Native is owned by Ghostzapper Racing of Toronto and the daughter of Yes It’s True from the Quiet American mare Special American covered the 1-1/16 miles race in 1:43.68. Trained

by Kenny McPeek, Montana Native gave Thompson his third Remington Park Oaks victory in the last five years. He previously won aboard Payton D’Oro (2009) and No Such Word (2010).

Montana Native paid $7 to win, $4 to place and $3.20 to show. Gold Medal Dancer paid $4 to place and $3.20 to show. Sister Ginger ran third and paid $4 to show. Marathon Lady, the 4-5 wagering favorite, pressed the pace but faded at the top of the stretch to finish fourth.

The win is the fourth from a dozen career starts for Montana Native who picked up $120,000 to run her lifetime earnings to $276,198. She was bred in Kentucky by Westana Ranches.

$153,000 Remington Park Sprint Cup

Wine Police displayed his class and enjoyed a perfect trip to win the Remington Park Sprint Cup by three-quarters of a length. Patiently ridden by jockey Enrique Gomez, the talented 5-year-old gelded son of Speightstown, the 2004 North American Champion Sprinter, raced along the rail behind the 27-1 pace-setting longshot Beggarthyneighbor.

Wine Police gained a one-length advantage with a furlong to run, as the 3-5 wagering favorite Alsvid, was struggling to make up lost ground. Alsvid, last year’s winner of the Remington Park Sprint Cup, was well off the pace and behind runners in the early stages of the race. He raced willingly through traffic and was gaining on the leader in the stretch but was not able to overcome his early position.

Okie Ride, a popular Oklahomabred sprinter, was always in contention but could not finish with the top pair.

Wine Police finished third in the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes at age 2; was third in the Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes at age 30(both run at Saratoga in upstate New York); and recently finished fourth in the Grade 2 Pat Obrien Stakes at Del Mar. Trained by Henry Dominguez and owned by J. Kirk and Mary Robison of El Paso, Texas, Wine Police covered the six furlongs in 1:09.57.

Wine Police, 2-1 in the wagering, paid $6.80 to win, $2.60 to place and $2.10 to show.

Alsvid paid $2.40 to place and $2.10 to show and Okie Ride returned $2.80 to show.

11 starts for Wine Police was worth $90,000 to up his overall bankroll to $337,037. A gelding from the War Deputy mare Deputy Cures Blues, Wine Police was bred in Kentucky by John & Martha Jane Mulholland.

$100,000 Remington Green Stakes

Unbeaten in two lifetime races over the Remington Park turf course, both this season, Daddy Nose Best won the DeBartolo Memorial in August followed by a rousing score in Sunday’s Remington Green.

The 4-year-old colt by Scat Daddy from the Thunder Gulch mare Follow Your Bliss, Daddy Nose Best ran 10th in the 2012 Kentucky Derby and 9th in the Preakness Stakes, but has blossomed since racing over the grass. Trained by Steve Asmussen and owned by Cathy and Bob Zollars of Dallas, winning jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr. pushed the classy colt through between runners nearing the top of the stretch and with clear sailing, the even-money favorite wore down 18-1 longshot, Caberneigh, also trained by Asmussen. Daddy Nose Best crossed the finish 3-1/2 lengths clear of his stable mate.

As expected, No Spin set the tempo in the 1-1/16 miles Green but could not stay the distance and finished third.

Daddy Nose Best paid $4 to win, $2.60 to place and $2.40 to show. Caberneigh paid $7.80 to place and $3.60 to show. No Spin returned $6.60 to show.

Daddy Nose Best covered the Green’s distance in 1:41.39 over firm going.

The victory is the seventh from 21 attempts for Daddy Nose Best, bred in Kentucky by Patricia Ann Elia Trust. He gained another $60,000 for his Green triumph to roll his career earnings to $818,989.

$50,000 Ladies on the Lawn Stakes

$75,000 Kip Deville Stakes

Remington Park’s major stakes races for 2-year-olds got underway on the Oklahoma Derby undercard with the sixfurlong Kip Deville Stakes. Aarons Orient used a good start to set his position on the lead and never looked back, drawing clear to win by 3-3/4 lengths.

Owned by Marc Wexler of Matawan, N.J. and trained by Steve Asmussen, Aarons Orient was ridden by Ricardo Santana, Jr. The colt broke his maiden status in his last start, just the second of his career,

Okie Nova rallied to win her first race over the turf, in her seventh career start on lawn, at the proper time in Sunday’s Ladies on the Lawn Stakes for Oklahoma-bred fillies and mares.

Owned by Richter Family Trust and B.J. Richter of Perkins, Okla. and trained by Kenny Nolen, Okie Nova was ridden

by Cliff Berry. The 4-year-old filly sat in mid-pack in the field of nine for most of the 7-1/2 furlongs, but was always within striking distance from a good position at the rail. She made up quick ground in the stretch to pull clear by 2-3/4 lengths over the pace-setting In The Band with Lady Jensen another half-length back in third.

Okie Nova handled the distance in 1:30.68 and was 9-1 in the wagering to pay $20.80 to win, $8.80 to place and $5.80 to show. In The Band returned $4.20 to place and $3.40 to show. Lady Jensen paid $5.20 to show.

Overall, Okie Nova won just her second career start from a dozen tries. The Ladies on the Lawn was also her first win at Remington Park in nine attempts. The winner’s share of $30,000 now gives her $74,472 overall. Bred by the Richter Family Trust, Okie Nova is a 4-year-old filly by Cavvy from the Bernstein mare Okie Valoy.

The Jockey Club releases 2012 breeding statistics The Jockey Club today reported that 2,392 stallions covered 37,908 mares in North America during 2012, according to statistics compiled through Sept. 9, 2013. These breedings have resulted in 22,001 live foals of 2013 being reported to The Jockey Club on Live Foal Reports received as of Sept. 9, 2013.

The Jockey Club estimates that the number of live foals reported so far is approximately 90 percent complete. The reporting of live foals of 2013 is down 2.2 percent from last year at this time when The Jockey Club had received reports for 22,500 live foals of 2012.

In addition to the 22,001 live foals of 2013 reported through Sept. 9, The Jockey Club had also received 2,891 No Foal Reports for the 2013 foaling season.

Ultimately, the 2013 registered foal crop is projected to reach 23,000.

The number of stallions declined 8.7 percent from the 2,620 reported for 2011 at this time last year, while the number of mares bred decreased 4.8 percent from the 39,838 reported for 2011.

Matt Iuliano, The Jockey Club’s executive vice president and executive director, stated that the breeding statistics are not a measurement of the live

Kentucky Florida California Louisiana New York Ontario Pennsylvania New Mexico Oklahoma Texas

foals born in each state or province, but are a count of live foals by conception area, regardless of where the foals were born. He also reiterated that the statistics should not be taken to represent the final fertility record of any single stallion or conception area.

Kentucky annually leads all states and provinces in terms of Thoroughbred breeding activity. Kentucky-based stallions accounted for 41.1 percent of the mares reported bred in North America in 2012 and 48.8 percent of the live foals reported for 2013.

The 15,569 mares reported bred to 249 Kentucky stallions in 2012 have produced 10,726 live foals, a 2.1 percent decrease on the 10,960 Kentucky-sired live foals of 2012 reported at this time last year. The number of mares reported bred to Kentucky stallions in 2012 declined 2.2 percent against the 15,918 reported for 2011 at this time last year.

Among the 10 states and provinces in which stallions covered at least 1,000 mares in 2012, only Florida and New York stallions produced more live foals in 2013 than in 2012 as reported at this time last year.

The following table shows the 10 states and provinces, ranked by number of state/provincesired live foals of 2013 reported through Sept. 9, 2013.

Houston, TX Sam Houston Race Park announces 2014 race dates and Thoroughbred stakes schedule Tuesday afternoons added to meet which gets under way on Jan. 17

Sam Houston Race Park will kick off its 21st racing season on Friday, Jan. 17. The Texas Racing Commission recently granted approval on the 2014 schedule, which begins with Thoroughbreds returning for a 32-day meeting.

The 2014 stakes schedule

includes 22 Thoroughbred events, offering total purses of nearly $1.7 million. The 2014 Thoroughbred season will begin with Texas Champions Weekend, which will continue in its twoday format for the third consecutive year. Texas-bred Thoroughbreds will take center stage on opening night with three stakes for fillies and mares ($50,000 San Jacinto Stakes; $50,000 Yellow Rose Stakes and $50,000 Bara Lass Stakes). On Saturday, Jan. 18, their male counterparts star in four events ($50,000 Star of Texas Stakes; $50,000 Richard King Stakes, $50,000 Spirit of Texas Stakes and the $50,000 Groovy Stakes).

Sam Houston Race Park president, Andréa Young confirmed that the Houston Racing Festival will return on Saturday, January 25, 2014. The evening will feature four stakes, including the $400,000 Houston Ladies Classic; the Grade 3, $200,000 Connally Turf Cup; $75,000 Champion Energy Stakes; and $50,000 Allen’s Landing Stakes.

Proceeds from the richest day in Texas racing will once again benefit the Houston Chapter of the Susan G. Komen For the Cure.

Last year’s inaugural Houston Ladies Classic was triumphant on many levels. The race attracted a stellar field of fillies and mares with Joyful Victory winning in a track-record setting effort with top North American jockey Rosie Napravnik aboard.

Her dominating performance garnered national attention for the 5-year-old daughter of Tapit trained by Larry Jones and owned by Fox Hill Farms, Inc. She became a millionaire with victories in two graded stakes following her Houston Ladies Classic win and is expected to compete in the 2013 Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships in November.

Other significant dates

include Texas Stallions Weekend on Saturday, February 15 with the $75,000 Two Altazano Stakes; $75,000 Jim’s Orbit Stakes and $50,000 Jersey Village Stakes. The Maxxam Gold Cup Racing Festival will take place on Saturday, March 1 and feature the $100,000 Maxxam Gold Cup; $50,000 Jersey Lilly Stakes and the $50,000 Texas Heritage Stakes. Departing, the winner of the 2013 Texas Heritage Stakes, made his mark on the national racing scene, winning the $750,000 Illinois Derby, the $750,000 West Virginia Derby at Mountaineer Park and the Grade 2, $500,000 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs this past weekend. The 3-year-old Departing is owned and bred by Claiborne Farm and Adele B. Dilschneider and trained

by Al Stall, Jr. The final weekend of the live Thoroughbred racing season will be highlighted by the HH Sheikh Zayed Arabian Racing Festival on Saturday, March 8 and will feature the return of the extremely popular Camel and Ostrich Races.

“Our goal in 2013 was to improve the quality of our live racing product and the Houston Ladies Classic and Connally really set the tone for a great season,” said Young.

“We look forward to raising the bar even higher in 2014.”

Officials have announced that Tuesday afternoon will replace Sunday in the 2014 Thoroughbred meet. Post times for live Thoroughbred racing will be Friday (7 p.m.), Saturday (7 p.m.), Monday (1 p.m.) and Tuesday (1 p.m.).

“We have been really pleased with the growth of Mondays since we added them in 2011,” said Young. “We are hoping to replicate some of that success with the additions of Tuesdays this coming season.”

Following the conclusion of the Thoroughbred season on March 9, Sam Houston Race Park will host its 2014 American Quarter Horse Meet with 24 days. Live Quarter Horse racing will begin on Thursday, March 20 and continue through May 11.

Sam Houston Race Park is Houston’s premier racing and entertainment facility, located just 15 minutes from downtown Houston, and offers a variety of attractions including 19 recently renovated luxury suites overlooking the race track, The Pavilion Centre, and award-winning dining options at the Winner’s Circle Restaurant and the Champion Energy Services Jockey Club.

Sixteen days of racing were conducted during the summer portion of the season, starting with opening day on Sunday July 21, which saw thousands of customers come through the doors to watch racing under the Portland sunshine.

Racing continues all fall and into the winter on Wednesdays and Sundays with an earlier first post of 12 p.m. (Pacific).

As the summer season rolled on, a new $0.25 Pick 5 wager was added to the menu.

Portland Mile Day brought out the best horses and the biggest crowd that anyone had seen in a decade at Portland Meadows. Crew Leader scored a huge win in the $35,000 Portland Mile and recorded a Beyer Speed Figure of 98 in the process.

“With our increased purses and raising the bottom purse to $5,000, as well as the change in our schedule from last season, we’ve been able to put out a much better product,” said Director of Racing Jerry Kohls.

“Field size is up a full horse per race.”

Portland Meadows started the season racing just Sundays for the first three weeks and added Wednesdays to the mix in early August. The two day a week schedule is a change from last season, which featured racing three days a week.

Horseplayers also seemed to enjoy the bigger fields as handle increased on track, in state and out of state. Wagering at Portland Meadows has averaged $43,831 per racing day, an increase of 38.02 percent over last year’s average on track handle of $31,758.

Including Off-track Betting sites in Oregon, all in-state wagers were up 39.21 percent for 2013 versus 2013.

Out-of-state handle also grew sharply, as players outside of Oregon sent in an averAvg. per Race Day

age of $361,519 per racing card, an increase of 73.97 percent over last year’s out of state average of $207,801.

All sources handle averaged $410,607 per race card for the Summer portion of the season, up an astounding 68.93 percent over last year’s $243,062 per card.

gelding was dominant in two starts while rolling to gate-towire victories in the $200,000 Longacres Mile and $50,000 Mt. Rainier Handicap. The Robert Gilker-trained bay earned the meet’s two biggest Beyers – a 101 in the 1 1/16-mile Mt. Rainier and a 100 in the Grade 3 Mile – and defeated a star-studded Mile that included shippers from New York, Kentucky, California and Canada.

Based at Hastings Racecourse, Herbie D is 10-for13 overall with earnings of $337,928, and is the second straight B.C.-bred to win The Mile after Taylor Said captured the race in 2012.

Horse of the Meeting was hotly contested as Stopshoppingdebbie, Chu and You and E Z Kitty also received votes for the track’s top award.

Northwest Farms’ Stopshoppingdebbie was a unanimous choice for Top 3-Year-Old Filly, as the daughter of Curlin became the first horse in track history to sweep all four open stakes races for sophomore fillies, winning at distances of 6 ½ furlongs, one mile, 1 1/16-miles and 1 1/8 miles. Tom Wenzel received Top Training Achievement for his work with Stopshoppingdebbie, who is expected to return next year and compete vs. older fillies and mares.

Washington-bred 5-yearold mare E Z Kitty dominated this year’s older filly and mare division with three stakes wins, including a resounding 3 ½-length victory in the championship $65,000 Emerald Distaff, and was a unanimous choice for Top Older Filly or Mare.

Jeff Metz, trainer of E Z Kitty, was an instant success at Emerald Downs. The 46-year-old Californian saddled 42 winners and dethroned two-time defending champion Frank Lucarelli atop the trainers’ standings. Metz (Saratoga West) also was the meet’s leading owner with 20 wins. Lucarelli finished second with 39 wins – the 12th

time in the last 15 seasons he’s finished first or second – including five wins by 4-year-old filly Kind of Naughty, who becomes Lucarelli’s third horse in the last four years to be voted Top Claimer.

Another newcomer captured leading rider honors as 40-year-old Isaias Enriquez unseated Juan Gutierrez atop the jockeys’ standings by a 101-96 total. For his superior first season at Emerald Downs, Enriquez also was voted Top Riding Achievement for 2013.

Enriquez and Gutierrez (who missed the final two weeks with injury) dominated the jockey colony; both nearly doubling the win total of third-place Eliska Kubinova (54 wins).

In the 2-year-old ranks, the Doris Harwood-trained Del Rio Harbor capped a spectacular four-win campaign with a 1 ¼-length victory in the Gottstein Futurity, earning honors as Top 2-Year-Old Male. And trainer Robbie Baze saddled Chu and You to four wins—including three stakes—to give owners/ breeders Mike and Amy Feuerborn the track’s Top 2-Year-Old Filly.

Polish Dollar earned the nod as Top Sprinter, and the 7-yearold gelding is the oldest horse to win an Emerald Downs title in 2013. The 7-year-old Bob Meeking-trained gelding stormed to three victories—scorching six furlongs in 1:08.09 and 1:08.70, and 6 ½ furlongs in 1:14.69.

Owned by Sharon Radke, Polish Dollar is 13-for-35 lifetime at Emerald Downs.

Texas-bred Worldventurer, seven-length winner of the Emerald Derby, took honors as Top 3-Year-Old Male. Blaine Wright trains the consistent gelding for owner Peter Redekop Ltd. Stryker Phd was voted Top Washington-bred, as the 4-yearold Bertrando gelding finished second in all four open stakes for 3-year-olds and up, including a runner-up effort to Herbie D in the Longacres Mile. Trained by

Margo Lloyd for Jim and Mona Hour, Stryker Phd capped his season with a 3 ¼-length victory over Polish Dollar in the Muckleshoot Tribal Classic.

Auburn, WA Connie Doll wins 2013 Lindy Award; Martinez, Pimentel Durkan cowinners Jockey Connie Doll and trainers David Martinez and Martin Pimentel will receive special awards when Emerald Downs completes its 18th season of Thoroughbred racing this weekend.

Doll is to receive the Lindy Award, named in honor of the legendary Clerk of Scales Lindy Aliment, while Martinez and

Pimentel are co-honorees of the Martin Durkan Award, named in honor of the late state senator and longtime proponent for Thoroughbred racing in Washington.

Both awards will be presented during Saturday’s 11-race card.

Voted by the jockeys, the Lindy Award honors accomplishment and sportsmanship throughout the 2013 meeting, at which the 54-year-old Doll has ridden six winners (five Thoroughbred, one Quarter Horse) while setting a good example for her peers, including a large contingent of seven female riders.

A native of Ravensdale, Wash., Doll has ridden in recognized races since 1976, a 37-year career in which she has won multiple riding titles on the state’s Blue Mountain circuit of Sun Downs, Walla Walla, Dayton and Waitsburg. Doll also won titles at Harbor Park (Elma) and Kalispell, Mont., and has enjoyed success riding Arabians and Quarter Horses, in addition to Thoroughbreds.

The Martin Durkan Award, chosen by Director of Racing Bret Anderson and staff, honors trainers that exhibit leadership, cooperation, sportsmanship and excellence on and off the track throughout the 75-day meeting.

A 35-year-old native of Hidalgo, Mexico, Martinez has enjoyed a 15-win season including victories by 3-year-old gelding Mike Man’s Gold in the $50,000 Seattle Slew Handicap and 4-year-old gelding Until You in a $30,000 allowance race.

Owned by Coal Creek Farm, Until You also gave Martinez his first starter in the Longacres Mile, finishing seventh in the race won

by Herbie D. Martinez branched out two years ago, after stints with Vann Belvoir as assistant trainer and Howard Belvoir as groom.

A 46-year-old native of Michoacan, Mexico, Pimentel is a popular backstretch figure and has been instrumental in

helping the track’s Quarter Horse racing program. A longtime assistant to the late Craig Roberts, Pimentel began his career in Southern California with trainer Jay Robbins in 1983. Coincidentally. Pimentel earned Trainer of The week honors for September 20-22, compiling a 2-2-0 record in five starts.

Hobbs, NM Juarez wins 2,000th career Thoroughbred race In the midst of one of the best seasons of his career, jockey Alfredo Juarez Jr. reached a milestone on Sunday at Zia Park Racetrack & Casino with his 2,000th career Thoroughbred victory. Juarez piloted Chuchuluco to a gate-to-wire win in Sunday’s eighth race to reach 2,000.

“Getting to 2,000 shows the dedication, success, and hard work I’ve put in my whole career,” Juarez said.

Juarez said that as he crossed the finish line for a 1 1/2-length victory in the 5-furlong allowance-optional claiming race, hitting him was the emotion inspired by all the hard work necessary to reach 2,000 victories and by his family – wife Lisa, daughter Ashlee, and son Giancarlo – in Albuquerque.

“It’s a weird feeling because when you’re in the lead and passing the wire, everything comes to you in that moment,” Juarez said. “I kept thinking about my family that’s not here with me and all the stuff that we’ve been through.”

Colleagues from the jockey colony at Zia Park Racetrack & Casino including Dusty Shepherd, Enrique Gomez, and Ry Eikleberry joined Juarez for his milestone moment in the winner’s circle.

“That was really fun,” Juarez said. “They’re my second family. I spend so much time at the track with them. That was really nice 14 SureBet RacingNews.com • October 2013 • Vol. 7 No. 10

for them to be there with me in the winner’s circle.”

Juarez, 37, began his career as a jockey in his hometown of Mexico City in 1992 at Hipódromo de las Américas and started riding in New Mexico when he came to the United States in 1996. Juarez became a United States citizen last year and is currently having one of the most successful seasons of his career. He has performed particularly well this year in New Mexico-bred stakes races. Juarez rode five winners on Aug. 24 during the Lineage Weekend of New Mexico-bred stakes races at the Downs at Albuquerque.

Juarez captured four New Mexico-bred stakes races on the Zia Festival card at Ruidoso Downs on July 28.

Along the way to 2,000 wins, Juarez said the most memorable victory of his career came when he rode 54-1 longshot Rumsontheriver to a dead-heat victory in the 2000 Grade 3 Hawthorne Derby. Rumsontheriver and Juarez dead-heated with Hymn and all-time great jockey Laffit Pincay Jr., a winner of 9,530 career races and one of Juarez’ idols.

“Heading into the lane I was dead last, and it was an amazing finish,” Juarez said about the race on turf at Hawthorne Park in Chicago. “To dead-heat with Laffit Pincay, who was one of my heroes growing up, was really cool. That was one of my favorite

races ever.”

One of the best horses Juarez has ridden was 2002 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner War Emblem. Juarez piloted War Emblem to a debut win in a maiden special weight race at Arlington Park in 2001 and an allowance victory at Sportsman’s Park in 2002 before War Emblem won the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

Oklahoma City, OK Walk Thru Fire colt tops Heritage Place QH Yearling Sale Race Thru Fire, a colt by the First Down Dash stallion Walk Thru Fire consigned by Sunflower Supply Co., sold for $160,000 to top the three-day Heritage Place Quarter Horse Yearling Sale, held September 19-21 at Oklahoma City.

The second-highest seller, the Corona Cartel colt Roger More, was acquired by Bobby D. Cox for $150,000. Consigned

by Lazy E Ranch as agent for the List family’s Double Bar S Ranch in Moreno Valley,

California, Roger More is a half brother to two stakes winners, including Illtacmanhattan, a colt by Tac It Like A Man who won all seven of his outs in 2011, including the $103,453 Bitterroot Futurity (RG3) at Les Bois Park in Idaho.

Thomas H. Bradbury purchased the third-highest seller, Wild Sixes Cartel, for $122,000.

Consigned by Marty Powers for Lee & Sherwood Racing LLC and Mineer, the colt is out of multiple Grade 1 winner Wild Six and is a half brother to the stakes-placed Game Patriot filly Wild And Game.

Four other yearlings sold for $100,000 or more.

According to preliminary results released by the Heritage Place Sale Company, a total of 659 of the 831 yearlings offered were sold for a gross of $8,890,500. The sale average of $13,491 per yearling marked a 2-percent increase compared to last year’s average of $13,210.

This year’s median average reached $8,400, up 12 percent from the 2012 median of $7,500.

Terry and Irene Stennett were the sale’s leading buyers, as the couple purchased three yearlings for a total of $295,000.

Bobby D. Cox was the leading consignor by money, as the longtime breeder consigned 20 yearlings who sold for a total of $437,800.

The next sale at the Heritage Place Sale Pavilion, the Fall Mixed Sale, will take place Nov. 1-2. The sale will be preceded by a reunion of legendary farm managers on Oct. 31.

Shakopee, MN Wagering increases, Mac Robertson sets singleseason earnings record as Canterbury Park closes season

Canterbury Park’s 69-day racing season, the longest since

2006, concluded today with gains in average handle and attendance. Off-track wagering, dollars bet on Canterbury races at other tracks and through internet sites, increased by 46.7 percent while average daily on-track wagering was up 4.8 percent.

Average daily attendance was 6,656, a Canterbury Park record.

“We set a couple of goals this season,” Canterbury Park CEO Randy Sampson said. “First, we wanted to improve the quality of our racing product by attracting new stables and more horses. We knew if that happened we could accomplish our second goal which was to increase our national exposure and wagering handle.”

Canterbury’s races were broadcast by TVG, a national horse racing television network, on Thursdays and Fridays. Total off-track wagering on those nights increased by 80.3 percent.

Average field size, 8.36 starters per race, was up this season as well which aided the wagering increase. The quality and depth of those fields also improved, witnessed by favorites winning at a 35 percent rate compared to 45 percent last year.

For the first time since 1991, Canterbury’s 1,600 stalls were filled by racehorses as several new trainers tried the Shakopee, MN racetrack for the first time.

Purses this season were more than double what they were in 2011 due to a joint purse enhancement and marketing agreement signed in June of 2012 with the Shakopee Mde-

wakanton Sioux Community. The agreement will add $75 million to horsemen purses over the life of the 10-year deal. A record of $12,453,268 in purse money was paid this season.

The increased purses attracted Midwest Thoroughbreds Inc., the leading owners in the nation for the past three years, to Canterbury for the first time.

Their stable was handled by trainer Roger Brueggemann who won 28 races making Midwest Thoroughbreds the meet’s leading owner.

“This year was a great step toward what we hope to accomplish with our live racing,” Sampson said. “Prominent horsemen find our purse structure attractive and horseplayers across the country are taking notice as well.”

Mac Robertson won his ninth consecutive training title with 51 victories. He set a single-season earnings record of $1,340,429.

Dean Butler won the riding title for the fourth time. He finished the season with 67 wins, two more than Alex Canchari.

Heliskier was voted Horse of the Year for the second consecutive season. The 4-year-old Minnesota-bred gelding won three of five starts including the $50,000 10,000 Lakes Stakes and the $55,000 Crocrock Minnesota Sprint Championship. Heliskier is owned by Marlene Colvin of Ethan, SD and is trained by Robertson. Heliskier also earned divisional titles in the categories of Sprinter and Older Horse.

Stacy Charette-Hill won

the quarter horse training title with 19 wins from 37 starts. Her starters finished in the top three at a 92 percent rate. Charette-Hill won Canterbury’s two most prestigious quarter horse races, the $54,100 Canterbury Park Quarter Horse Derby and the $133,525 Mystic Lake Northlands Futurity.

Jorge Torres was the leading quarter horse jockey with 20 wins. Brenda Reiswig of Bismarck, N.D. repeated as leading quarter horse owner with eight wins. Stone Cottrell, winner of the Skip Zimmerman and Dash In A Flash Stakes, was named quarter horse of the meet. He is trained by Charette-Hill.

SEPT. 29, 2013 Los Alamitos Race Course, Cypress, CA Check N Fetch Rallies For Mildred Vessels

Lorena Velazquez Rodriguez’s Check In Fetch won the most important race of her career in the Grade 1, $150,000 Mildred Vessels Memorial Handicap on Sunday night at Los Alamitos and now has the opportunity to take another class jump and compete in the Grade Check N Fetch 1, $750,000 Champion of Champions in December.

Starting from the outside post position in the full field of fillies and mares, Check In Fetch finished faster than runner-up Zoomdasher and third-place finisher Shez Jess Toxic to win the race with the Champion of Champions invitation.

The Ramon Sanchez-ridden Check In Fetch, a daughter of Check Him Out, was timed in :19.553 for the 400 yards to win by a nose with just a head separating Zoomdasher and Shez Jess Toxic.

Sent off as the 3-1 favorite in the highly competitive field, Check In Fetch now has four stakes wins in her latest five starts.

However, the Mildred Vessels is clearly the most important win during this hot streak.

The Paul Jones-trained mare scored minor stakes wins in the Miss Princess Handicap, Independence Day Handicap and the California Breeders Matron Stakes.

Gustavo and Jose De La Torre’s runnerup Zoomdasher nearly pulled off a 30-1 upset. The Azoom daughter was making just her second 2013 start and came off a fourth-place finish in the Stylish Jess BR Overnight Handicap just over a month ago.

The Jose de La Torre-trained mare showed her class last year when she raced to thirdplace finishes in the Grade 1, $236,000 Golden State Derby and the Grade 2, $214,000 La Primera Del Ano Derby. She also qualified for the Grade 1, $948,000 Los Alamitos Super Derby.

The Dean Frey-owned, -bred and -trained Shez Jess Toxic kept her very consistent record intact with her close thirdplace effort. The Take Off Jess daughter has finished in the top-three runners in 13 of 14 starts with five victories. The well-traveled mare won the Merial Remington Park Distaff

Challenge in May and was a close second, beaten by a head, in the Merial Los Alamitos Distaff Challenge in August.

Shez Jess Toxic won the 2011 Grade 2, $146,000 John Deere Juvenile Challenge Championship and was second in the 2012 Grade 1, $171,000 Southern California Derby.

Portland Downs, OR Aloha Sweetheart shocks the Far West Futurity

Aloha Sweetheart was acting up in the gate prior to the running of the $19,900 Far West Futurity on Sunday. But jockey Jordan Hadley got his runner to calm down and run powerfully to take the 350 yard event.

Aloha Sweetheart broke decently from the outside but really found her stride in the middle portions of the race.

“She’s been having a hard time getting out of the gate well,” said 22 year old jockey Jordan Hadley. “I knew she was sitting on a good race and she really took off for me late today.”

It was the first win for Aloha Sweetheart who just missed by a head in her trial event.

She picked up $7,960 for owners Kapp

showed that he is ready to return to Grade 1 company when he outclassed his threeyear-old rivals in the $25,000 Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap on Sunday night at Los Alamitos.

Remembering Spence was making his first appearance since winning the Grade 1, $232,000 Los Alamitos Winter Derby back in February.

With regular rider Francisco Rubio aboard, Remembering Spence raced the 350 yards in :17.402 to win as the 2-5 favorite.

Remembering Spence got a clean break from the outside post position and the race was over by the 200-yard mark. He was with the leaders at the start and then easily moved to the lead to win by an easy three quarters of a length.

“He needed this race to get him ready for the trials to the Los Alamitos Super Derby (on October 12),” trainer Juan Aleman said.

“He was turned out after the Winter Derby.

“He was paid into the PCQHRA Breeders Derby trials (on September 13), but we decided to skip the Breeders Derby for the Super Derby. The Sgt Pepper Feature sets him up perfectly for the Super Derby trials that are 34 days away. He made this race look easy.”

A gelded son of TR Dasher, Remembering Spence picked up where he left off before his layoff. He was the third-place finisher in the restricted-Grade 1 PCQHRA

Breeders Derby and then off for five month before winning his Winter Derby trial by one and one-half lengths and then battling to a nose win in the Winter Derby as the evenmoney choice.

Ridden by Cesar DeAlba at 124 lbs, Vodka With Ice ran 440 yards in :21.66 and paid $7, $4 and $5.60. Pablo Rabasa Jr. is the trainer for owner Gerardo Prado of Federal Way, Wash.

Chicks Special Angel, the 3-to-5 betting favorite ridden by Debbie Hoonan, broke poorly and finished fourth in the 10-horse field. The only female in the race, Chicks Special Angel, came into the race on a 10-race winning streak, including a track record performance in the Aug. 17 trials.

One Famous Secret, Cm Got Overserved, Eyez On Brimmer, First Specialist, Catlow Rim and Fast Intention completed the order of finish.

Breaking from the No. 10 post-position, Vodka With Ice came away cleanly, forged to the lead in mid-stretch and was clear at the wire.

“He’s running like a 2-year-old, really,” DeAlba said of the winner. “He broke and he was gone. I felt a little bumping behind me, but my horse was good.”

DeAlba is three-for-three aboard the veteran gelding, including the second fastest qualifying time of :22.078 on Aug. 17.

He also rode the gelding to a 1 ½-length victory in $14,150 Les Bois Park Bonus Challenge Stakes.

“He’s a nice horse. He does everything right. He breaks and gets to running, so it’s pretty easy for me.”

Vodka With Ice is 11-8-4 in 46 career starts with earnings of $175,256, including $32,292 for Sunday’s win.

In the $21,150 Zoetis Emerald Starter Allowance Challenge, Whos On First Aj ($3.40) continued his torrid streak with a neck victory over Secret Inferno in :17.85 for 350 yards. Joe Crispin rode the winner for trainer Nick Cronquist and owner Craig Giles.

Harwood swept the four stakes events for 2-year-olds*Del Rio Harbor winning three and Noosito one*to boost her record as the track’s all-time leading stakes trainer with 61 wins.

Mebossman, ridden by David G. Lopez at 120, held on well to finish second and paid $9.20 and $4.20. The surprising early leader, Mebossman relinquished command to Del Rio Harbor on the last turn, and the two geldings slugged it out through the lane with Del Rio Harbor proving slightly better.

“He’s a good 2-year-old,” Couton said of Del Rio Harbor. “He has a nice stature and makes big, long strides, and he can go long.

“I had the outside post position, and I was planning to break it out of the gate and get on top of the favorite,” Richard said.

“Nothing is ever for sure, but I definitely loved my chances from there. The only proven horse I was really scared of was Chu and You, and Dallon’s Gold is unproven having only won two races.

“Going up against a horse that has won three stakes races is a pretty big test.”

Moony Moony, a 14-to-1 longshot ridden by Isaias Enriquez at 120 lbs, paid $12 and $50. Stikine Slough, the 5-to-1 second choice ridden by Rocco Bowen at 120, finished third and paid $26.80.

Holder paid $23.80, $8.60 and $3.80.

With the winner’s share of $150,000, Bond Holder nearly quintupled his earnings, which now total $186,000. He now has a win, a second and two thirds from five starts.

Second in the Grade I Del Mar Futurity Sept. 4, Dance With Fate, ridden by Rafael Bejarano, was the 2-1 favorite and finished two lengths clear of Futurity winner Tamarando and Julien Leparoux.

“I had a good trip,” said Bejarano. “There was no problem…He was in position. The winner came on in the end. He was the better horse today.”

Dance With Fate paid $3.80 and $2.80.

Last early due to a bad start, Tamarando, with Julien Leparoux up, finished three quarters of a length in front of Can the Man and paid $3.20 to show.

“He moved right before they opened the gate,” said Leparoux. “He put his head to the side, and we tried, but we missed the break. I tried to get closer to the pace on the first turn but I was behind two horses. If I tried to move too early, I was going to be wide, too, so after that, I had to be patient and see where I could move. He ran well today.”

Mucho Macho Man was runner-up in last year’s BC Classic. Saturday’s win gave him an automatic berth in the race on Nov. 2, with his entry fees paid.

“This horse only has to make up a neck from last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic, and I think he’s a bigger, stronger horse than he was last year,” Stevens said.

The 5-year-old Florida-bred ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.30 and paid $5.20, $3.20 and $2.80 as the 9-5 favorite in the field of 10.

Mucho Macho Man snapped a five-race skid with his first Grade 1 victory, and first win since the Suburban Handicap on July 7, 2012.

“He’s got a big, beautiful stride,” said Stevens, who launched a comeback earlier this year at 50.

Mucho Macho Man has been at Santa Anita for nearly three weeks.

“He seems to thrive here,” trainer Kathy Ritvo said.

Paynter returned $4.40 and $4. Soi Phet, who was claimed for $16,000 in May, was another 2¼ lengths back in third and paid $12.60 to show.

Paynter, one of three entries trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, ended a two-race skid. The 4-year-old colt overcame a lifethreatening illness to race again in June, and showed Saturday that he can contend against top talent.

“He was behind there,” Baffert said. “He took a lot of dirt; actually he settled pretty well and came wide. He was finishing up really well.”

Previously ridden exclusively by Garrett Gomez, Beholder was handled by Stevens for the first time on Sept. 1 at Del Mar, a facile win in the Torrey Pines Stakes.

“She’s really matured from what I’ve seen just being a fan of hers and then being able to ride her right now,” said Stevens. “I just try and stay out of her way. She’s particular about what she wants and as long as she gets it, she’s easy to deal with.

“I haven’t gotten close to the bottom of her yet. Maybe there’s not as much there as I think, but it feels like there is still another gear.”

Trained by Richard Mandella, Beholder certainly had a high gear on Saturday, as she never looked back while carving out splits of 23.73, 47.36, 1:11.28 and 1:35.52—setting her sights on the $2 million Distaff on Nov. 1, and perhaps, another Eclipse Award.

“The filly’s very special,” said Mandella.

“I’m very proud of her. She’ll go in the Distaff after this. She’s just a filly that really likes the fight. She likes going to battle and it (her competitiveness) comes out when the race is run.”

Beholder, who provided Stevens with his second of what would eventually be four wins on the day, paid $5.20, $3.60 and $2.10.

Owned by B. Wayne Hughes’ Spendthrift Farm, she banked $150,000 and ran her money-won total to $1,975,000 She now has seven wins and three seconds from 11 lifetime starts.

“Our whole goal this year was to get to the Breeders’ Cup again,” said Hughes, who was celebrating his 80th birthday. “Richard Mandella did a great job picking the races and the pace and everything else. We were happy to be here and it was nice to win.”

Mucho Macho Man crushes opposition in Awesome Again, stage set for $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Great Race Place Nov. 2

Mucho Macho Man tuned up for another try in the Breeders’ Cup, winning the $250,000 Awesome Again Stakes by 4¼ lengths at Santa Anita.

Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens earned back-to-back Grade 1 wins aboard Mucho Macho Man and Beholder in the Zenyatta Stakes, two of the five Grade 1 races with Breeders’ Cup implications at the host track for the world championships.

RACE RECAPS - THOROUGHBRED Off as the third choice at 9-2, Authenticity shipped west from New York for trainer Todd Pletcher and closed well from last early to pay $4.80 and $3.00 with Martin Garcia aboard.

Joyful Victory, who stalked the pace but could not go with the winner from the top of the lane home, finished third, 2 ¼ lengths behind Authenticity, with Rosie Napravnik aboard.

“We were thankful to draw outside today (post six), but I still ended up running third,” said Napravnik. “We were working much harder than everybody else around both turns and that probably cost us quite a bit. We were at a big disadvantage on both turns. The pace did slow a bit and she likes to run freely but…she still ran a good race today.”

Trained by Larry Jones and off as the 5-2 second choice, Joyful Victory paid $2.60 to show.

“No excuses,” said Jones, who along with his 5-year-old mare shipped in from Churchill Downs. “We had a good clean trip.

Wargamer looked like he will relish added distance with his late-running style.

He made a long, grinding move from deep in the field. He began his charge starting around the turn and lengthened his stride in the final furlong to get up for the win.

In his career debut, Wargamer started for a $25,000 claiming tag in a maiden race and was never in contention, finishing a well-beaten fifth.

Louisiana Stallion Stakes Colt and Gelding Division

Whispering Oaks Farms’ Say Charlie impressed when he made his career debut in the $100,000 Louisiana Stallion Stakes Colt and Gelding Division.

The race was for male two-year-olds in the Louisiana Stallion program.

Say Charlie had a wide trip and still managed to score the 10-1 upset win.

The Steven Flint-trained Say Charlie drew the outside post position in the eighthorse field and was at least three-wide for the seven-furlong trip.

Sept. 8, 2013 Zia Park, Hobbs, NM Alsvid turns in mythological performance in premiere Cup

The way in which Alsvid won the Premiere Cup Handicap at Zia Park suggests that he is starting to become the reincarnation of the horse in Norse mythology after which he is named. Alsvid, which means “All Swift” in old Norse, was one of the two horses that pulled the chariot of the sun-maiden Sol. The mythological poem Grímnismál preserved in an eighth-century manuscript taught that the Norse gods placed a cool iron under Alsvid’s yoke to keep the epic horse relaxed when pulling the hot sun. And that is how trainer Chris Hartman sees the 21st-century Alsvid’s style developing in his two recent victories.

“The game plan has always been to try to get him to relax earlier in the race,” Hartman said. “It seems like he’s starting to relax further into the race, and he always has a good kick when he does that. He’s won races on the lead, but his best game is right off the pace.”

RACE RECAPS - THOROUGHBRED Now a six-time stakes winner, Alsvid settled behind a heated early pace in Sunday’s Premiere Cup as Warren’s Knockout, City Sage, and Safe Trip blazed through an opening quarter-mile in 21.82 seconds and half-mile in 44.18 seconds. Jockey Ken Tohill uncoiled Alsvid at the top of the stretch.

The 4 year-old bay gelding trained by Chris Hartman and owned by the Black Hawk Stable mowed the leaders down to win by one length as the odds-on 1-5 favorite in the field of six in a swift final time of 1:07.99.

“His performance was perfect,” Hartman said. “He’s doing exactly what we want him to do now, and everything is coming together for him.”

Hartman said Alsvid’s next race could come in the 6-furlong, $150,000 Remington Park Sprint Cup in Oklahoma on September 29 where Alsvid is the defending champion.

Warren’s Knockout and jockey Alfredo Juarez, Jr., finished second, and his trainer, Justin Evans, said he was pleased with the performance.

“I couldn’t be prouder of him,” Evans said. “Whenever they run that fast and try that hard you can never be upset. I thought down the backside maybe I had [Alsvid] and had the jump on him, but that horse is a real, real good horse. I can’t hang my head.”

Safe Trip, the defending champion in the Premiere Cup, was a further 2 1/4 lengths back in third for jockey Casey Lambert and trainer Weston Martin.

Emerald Downs, Auburn, WA Stryker Phd takes Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, stars shine bright on Washington Cup XI

Stryker Phd capped Sunday’s Washington Cup XI with a sensational 3 ¼-length victory in the $50,000 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic for Washington-bred 3-year-olds and up at Emerald Downs.

For Stryker Phd, the victory was a breakthrough of sorts. The runner-up in all four open stakes races for older handicap horses at the meet, including a second to Herbie D in the $200,000 Longacres Mile last month, Stryker Phd proved beyond doubt he is the best older horse stabled at Emerald Downs.

Under regular rider Debbie Hoonan at 118 lbs, Stryker Phd took the lead from Polish Dollar into the stretch, and drew off for a powerful score in 1:40.99 for 1 1/16 miles.

Margo Lloyd trains the winner for owners Jim and Mona Hour of Bellevue, WA. The winning time is second fastest of the meet for the distance, exceeded only

by Herbie D’s 1:40.52 in the Mt. Rainier Handicap in July. And the victory confirmed Stryker Phd as a bona fide talent, whose string of seconds had more to do with unfavorable pace scenarios and the presence of Herbie D than anything else.

Stryker Phd was among several outstanding performances in Washington Cup XI – which included a series of six $50,000 stakes race exclusively for Washington-bred runners.

by Noosa’s Beach’s younger brother Noosito.

A 4-year-old Washington-bred gelding by Bertrando-Striking Scholar, Stryker Phd earned $25,000 to push his bankroll to $124,466. His overall record is 2-4-4 in 11 starts and the connections are considering a return to Northern California, where he broke his maiden on the turf last year.

Stryker Phd was closer to the pace than usual, some six lengths back, as Memphis Beach, chased by I Keep Saying and Polish Dollar, sailed through splits of :23.18, :46.19 and 1:09.95. Polish Dollar took the lead on the last turn, and the gallant 7-year-old gelding would finish a good second, but the race was pretty much over once Stryker Phd kicked into high gear, rallying inside his rivals into the lane.

“The first part of the race the leaders were going around wide,” Hoonan said. “The track was easy on the inside there, and then someone came in there and took my path.

“Isaias (Enriquez) had me boxed in pretty good there, but it was set up just enough to where I could get through. Stryker Phd is a dream horse for me.”

Polish Dollar, ridden by Juan Gutierrez at 122, was clearly second best and paid $3.80 and $2.40. The tough campaigner is 13-for-35 lifetime with earnings over $110,000.

“It was a carbon copy of the (Emerald Distaff), but she was going even easier,” Sanguinetti said of E Z Kitty. “She’s very professional. The more I’ve ridden her, the more we know each other.

“I feel like she knows what I want, and I know what she wants. Kitty, she loves a fight.

She wants to chase a horse. If she gets out by herself, she’s not as interested anymore because it’s easy. She wants to be in that fight, so I want a horse to follow like that.”

A 5-year-old Washington-bred by He’s Tops-Envision the Cat, E Z Kitty continues to compile a list of remarkable achievements.

She has an overall record of 12-4-3 in 22 starts with earnings of $263,340, including $27,025 for Sunday’s win.

E Z Kitty is 3-2-1 in six starts at the current Emerald meet, with wins in the Pegasus Training Center Stakes, Hastings Handicap and Emerald Distaff. Honors as the track’s top older filly or Mare are a mere formality, and E Z Kitty also has a good chance to be voted Top Washington-bred.

E Z Kitty’s 2013 record, including four starts at Turf Paradise, is 5-3-2 in 10 starts and she leads all Washington-breds in yearly earnings with $165,024. She also joins Noosa Beach, Wasserman and Ladyledue and as the only multiple Washington Cup winners; E Z Kitty’s first stakes victory was in the 2011 Comcast SportsNet Stakes.

By Harbor the Gold-Julia Rose, Noosito is 2-0-1 in three starts with earnings of $42,753, including a check of $25,510 for Sunday’s victory.

The victory wasn’t easy, though, as double stakes winner Del Rio Harbor—also from the Harwood barn—ding-donged with Del Rio Harbor through splits of :22.30, :45.10 and :56.85. In the end, Noosito—third to Del Rio Harbor in the WTBOA Lads—was a tad better Sunday.

“He’s a very good horse,” Enriquez said.

“He tries very hard in the mornings. The first time out he won, but the second time (in the WTBOA Lads) he lost a shoe and had a tough trip.

“Today, he broke very sharp and was very comfortable. A couple guys put pressure on him early, but he was able to hold them off.”

Hr Ebony Princess, the 7-5 favorite, burst to the lead and no rival got within striking distance when she cruised to the easy win.

The Double Gold Derby win was the third-straight victory for the Ivory James filly. She started her winning streak by taking the $54,000 Canterbury Derby and then won her Double Gold Derby trial by one length as the 3-5 favorite.

In the IQHRA Fall Sale Futurity for twoyear-olds who passed through the ring at last year’s IQHRA Fall Sale it was a much closer contest with the Berkley Packerridden Whata Classy Man running down Louisiana Doug to post the head win in :17.738 for 350 yards.

Trs Amazing Zach was well back in third.

Part of the favored 1-5 entry, Whata Classy Man is two-for-two for trainer Kirk Wessels. The Tac It Like A Man gelding won his trial in his first start by more than four lengths in his career debut.

Don’t settle for a ‘One-Line’ listing again this year!

Everyone has a tight budget these days - especially in our industry.

But you don’t have to settle for a ‘One-line’ farm listing any longer.

You say: “But it’s free” and “It’s on a major industry website.”

We say: “Well, you’re right, it’s ‘Free’ and it’s on someone’s website, but ask yourself does it work?”

Typical ‘Free” Listing might look something like this: Unusual Heat: 1990, by Nureyev Rossard (Den), by Glacial (Den); Standing at Harris Farms (Ca.); stud fee, $20,000

NO Links back to you!

NO Email address, NO Website address NO Contact information!

So where’s the benefit?

Potential Client: “I finally found him, but where is Harris Farms?

I mean besides in California.

And how do I contact them?

What is their telephone number? Email address?

Guess I’ll have to Google them – sure hope they have a website...”

Loss of a Potential Client: “Well maybe later, I just don’t have time right now.”

Yes, this is an exaggeration for a stallion of this caliber, but you get my point!
