More than four months after qualifying for the John Deere Juvenile Challenge at Rillito Park, Charlies Fast Man got to run the stakes final and
win—albeit at a different track. The two-year-old gelding broke his maiden, entered black type, and earned a spot on the Bank of America Challenge Championship card with his 3/4-length victory in the $15,000 John Deere Regional Juvenile Challenge at Ruidoso Downs on July 11.
After breaking from the 3-post, running third at the first call and narrowing the gap to a close second entering the stretch, Charlies Fast Man surged past Jess The Lady during the final yards to win the race.
Trainer Eloy Navarro prepped Charlies Fast Man, who finished the race in :17.793, register- ing an 87 speed index. Jaime Leos did the riding. Owner Jose Mendoza collected a $9,000 payday, which boosted the lifetime bankroll of the young colt to $9,540.
Marshall P. Watson bred Charlies Fast Man out of winner Alltherightcurves. Charlies Fast Man is her first starter.
Jess The Lady (Valiant Hero-Jess Ballin The Jack) finished second in this race for owner Bob McClure. The Harvey Baeza trainee had Paul Nieto in the irons. Blackwater Bengal (Hez Our Secret- Sting Scorpion Sting) placed third under Rodrigo Aceves for owner Ferrari Racing Stables and trainer Ricardo Saldana.
