SINGLES CRUISE
by John Moorehouse
Singles Cruise notched her first stakes win in the $31,050 John Deere Grand Prairie Juvenile Challenge
at Evergreen Park on Aug. 19.
The filly broke well from the 5-post
under Ceasar Cervantes and grabbed a head lead by the time she entered the stretch, pulled away during the final yards to win by 1-length.
The third-fastest qualifier, Singles Cruise finished third in her 350- yard trial in :17.974 on Aug. 4. She was slightly faster in the stakes final, finishing in :17.961 and log- ging a 95 speed index.
It marked the second stakes win already for Singles Cruise, who improved her overall record to 3(2)-0-1
in five starts. She brought home the $14,903 winner’s share of the purse for owners Barry and Janice Sather, who also trains the filly, boosting her total lifetime earnings to $24,215. Her other stakes victory came in the Jerry Stojan Memorial Futurity, also held at Evergreen Park, earlier this year.
Steve Burns DVM bred Singles Cruise out of lightly raced Going Single. She has produced 100% money earners from four starters, including 2013 Evergreen Park Derby Challenge and New Track Record setter Snowboundbeast. Singles Cruise is her second stakes winner.
A disqualification elevated O Kingsley (First Timber-Burners
Beauty) and J. Botello to runner- up honors for owner/trainer Wesley Oulton.
Shez My Hero (Valiant Hero- Daze Like This) was also moved up and finished third under Larris Allen for owners Mike
& Kathy McNiven and trainer Laurie Ferguson.
Sasses Quick Silver (First Timber-Sass N Dass) was 4th, fol- lowed by FDD Thru Runnin (FDD Dynasty-Thru Running), Status Symbal (Favorite Cartel-Kool Kue Chick) & Ifarm (Coronado Cartel- Avery Hope), who was DQ’d from 2nd to 7th. Fastest qualifier Always Right scratched.
