Valerie Shoun’s WB Dashing Brat broke his maiden in the 250-yard South Dakota Bred Derby for state-bred 3-year-olds at Fort Pierre on Oct. 8.
Ridden by Larren Delorme for trainer Robert Johnson and aided by a reported 8-mph tail wind, WB Dashing Brat led at every call and reached the wire 1/2-length in front of BHR Light My Spark
in :13.555. The homebred son of the Mr Jess Perry stallion Mr Apollitical Dash earned a 91 speed index and the $7,500 winner’s share of the $15,000 purse.
WB Dashing Brat was coming off of a second-place finish in a 350-yard maiden claiming ($10,000) dash at Prairie Meadows in Iowa on Sept. 23. The sorrel gelding is out of Bratina, an unplaced daughter of the First Down Dash stallion Holland Ease. He traces back to his fourth dam, O’Lonesome Me, a winning and multiple stakes placed mare and a finalist in the 1974 West Texas, Sun Country, and New Mexico State Fair futurities.
Raced in five states, WB Dashing Brat has won one of 14 starts and has banked $25,644, of which $16,146 has been pocketed from eight outs this season. The gelding’s resume includes a second-place finish in last year’s 250-yard $15,000 Ft. Pierre South Dakota Bred Futurity.
BHR Light My Spark (First Down Mr Jess-BHR Guys Flash Me) earned the $3,750 runner-up share of the purse for owner Broken Heart Ranch. Alexis E. Ramirez rode the homebred gelding for trainer Robert Johnson.
Streak Of Luck (A Streak Of Fling-Crescent Moon Dash) ran third, 1-length behind WB Dashing Brat, while banking $2,250 for owner Charles Brewer. Dakota Wood rode the homebred gelding for trainer Robert Johnson.
BHR The Bomb Dot Com (One Mean Eagle-BHR Eau So Flashy) completed the order of finish.

Ridden by Larren Delome, That Reckless Pete dueled throughout with odds-on favorite BHR Flashing Nickers. The pair hooked up at the start of the 250-yard fixture and battled to the finish, with That Reckless Pete reaching the wire first
by a neck. The gray gelding stopped the timer in :13.474 fo a 95 speed index.
