Red Hedeman Mile Stakes
Effort N Results, a homebred son of Shame On Charlie owned by Terry Bill Adams, scored his first stakes victory in the February 23, $100,000 Red Hedeman Mile Stakes for New Mexico-bred 3-year-old Thoroughbreds at Sunland Park.
Ridden by Ken Tohill, Effort N Results broke in 7th from the 4-post in a field of ten. The gelding raced unhurried early, advanced five wide through the second turn and secured his lead in the final stretch, crossing the wire 3/4-length in front. Prepped by Joel Marr, Effort N Results cov- ered the one-mile sprint in :1:39.45.
The gelding became the first black-type stakes winner and starter from just two foals produced by Happy N Harmony, a winning 9-year-old daughter of Desert God, who finished second in the 2014 New Mexico Breeders’ Oaks.
Effort N Results traces back to her sec- ond dam, winner and third in the Kachina Stakes Freeze Em Out, a half-sister to New Track Record Setter Nuclear Assembly, winner of the TTA Sales Futurity and Pioneer Stakes. She also finished second in the Middleground Stakes and Harold V. Goodman Sprint Stakes (R)
The gelding’s sire, Shame On Charlie, is a 16-year-old son of Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner Indian Charlie and a full brother
to Eclipse Award 2007 Champion 2-Year- Old Filly & Eclipse Award 2008 Champion Female Sprinter Indian Blessing.
Shame On Charlie has sired the earners of nearly $1 million from five crops and just 20 starters, including stakes winners Indian Tivia, Shame On Powers, Shame On Read and Shug’s Hope.
The stallion is owned by Barbara Brown and stands for a private treaty at The Quarter Company.
Effort N Results has won two races from four starts and the $60,000 winner’s share of the Red Hedeman Mile Stakes purse pushed his total lifetime earnings to $91,860. The gelding teamed with runner-up Evacuee for a $1 trifecta payoff of $686.90.
Trained by Todd Fincher, Evacuee is a brown son of the Pulpit stallion Abstraction campaigned by the Abstraction Partnership. Evacuee won the New Mexico State Fair Futurity last year.
The $20,000 runner-up’s share of the Red Hedeman Mile Stakes purse boosted the gelding’s total bankrollto $152,579.
Cerveza, a brown son of Forest Wildcat stallion Attila’s Storm, who won the Toboggan Handicap (G3) and Fall Highweight Handicap, pocketed the $10,000 third-place share of
the purse for late owner R.D. Hubbard and co-owner Paul Blanchard. Trained by Todd Fincher, Cerveza has earned $81,558 from nine starts. The gelding was coming off a finalist attempt in the Four Rivers John Deere Stakes in January at Sunland Park.
West Dawn finished fourth and was fol- lowed by Shame On Powers, Ancient Land,
Go Now Go, On A Warpath, More Action and Party King. Manoso and Tom T Who were on the also-eligible list.
