by Michael Cusortelli
Foxy Cowgirl, the third-fastest qualifier, kept her perfect record intact with a neck victory in the $165,880 Jim Bader Futurity
for Iowa-bred two year olds at Prairie Meadows on Sept. 30.
Prepped by Ed Hardy for owners Paul Luedemann, Corey Wilmes, and Xcel Farms, Foxy Cowgirl covered 350 yards in :17.460 while racing against a reported 5-mph head wind. Edwin Escobedo rode the filly, who earned $74,646 from her first career stakes score and a lifetime-best 100
speed index.
Foxy Cowgirl was coming off of a wire-to- wire, neck victory in one of four Jim Bader Futurity trials on Sept. 9.
The filly was bred by Christine Hovey, and she is out of unraced Foxy Millie, who Hovey purchased
for $23,000 at the 2013 Heritage Place Yearling Sale in Oklahoma City. She has
produced two winners from three starters. Foxy Cowgirl is her first stakes winner.
Foxy Cowgirl made her career debut with a 1-length victory in a 300-yard $18,600 maiden-special-weight dash for Iowa-breds at Prairie Meadows on July 24. All told, the filly has won all three of her outs and has banked a total of $91,690.
Foxy Cowgirl’s second dam, Streakin Millie, was a finalist in the 1993 Ed Burke Memorial-G1, Dash For Cash Futurity-G1,
and Miss Kindergarten Futurity-G2 futurities at Los Alamitos. The filly traces back to her fourth dam, stakes winner Kiptymylou.
Fastest qualifier AB Boogie (Apollitical Blood- Boogie Wagon) finished second while earning the $29,858 runner-up share of the Jim Bader Futurity purse for his owner Ruben Mojica, bringing his total bankroll to $40,312. Alfredo Triana
Jr. rode the homebred bay gelding for trainer Manuel Mojica Campos.
In his second stakes performance, Cowboy 123 (Flying Cowboy 123-Corona Carmelita) ran third, a nose behind AB Boogie, while pocketing the $16,588 third-place share of the purse for
his owner, Stephen Moyle. The sorrel gelding finished second in the Hawkeye Futurity at Prairie Meadows in July. Berkley Packer rode Cowboy 123 for trainer Alex Wessels.
Five Bar Phi (Five Bar Cartel-Number One Chorreada) finished fourth, and was followed by Kool Lil Wink (Lil Kool Wagon-Give A Wink), Magic King Feet (Eye Am King-CR Lota Girl), Summerhill Express (Freighttrain B-One Famous Hawkeye), TS Buy Me A Corona (First Moonflash-Corona Springs), Queens Grace (Tres Seis-Queen Of Anywhere), and Go To The Wood (Lil Kool Wagon-Fly Around Chueca).
