of what appears to be a promising 3-year-old season for the talented filly.
Running Dragon’s 2016 record of 9-7-1-0 and $373,833 earned her the title of 2016 New Mexico Hi-Point 2-Year-Old Filly. New Mexico Classic Futurity winner Magnifico Dragon was named the New Mexico Hi-Point 2-Year-Old Colt/Gelding. In addition to his stakes win, Magnifico Dragon ran second in both the New Mexico State Fair Breeders Futurity and the Southwest Juvenile Championship-G1 for owner Daniel Balderrama and trainer Cynthia Gonzalez.
Zulu Dragon’s other 2 year olds that performed well in 2016 were Cowgirlsalady, Disco Dragon, and Mighty B Dragon. Also trained by Juan M. Gonzalez, Cowgirlsalady is a two-time graded stakes finalist in New Mexico for owner Nahum Prieto. By By JJ Partnership’s Disco Dragon and 21 Partnership’s Mighty
B Dragon were two of Zulu Dragon’s three finalists in the New Mexican Spring Futurity. The former races for Juan M. Gonzalez, while the latter was saddled by Antoinette Gonzalez.
With the success of his first crop, Zulu Dragon, now owned by Zulu Dragon LLC, relocated to Bar Y Equine in Berino, New Mexico, for the 2017 breeding season. In the meantime, his foals continue to burn up the tracks in New Mexico. In the Shue Fly Stakes on Jan. 15, Zulu Dragon was represented by the winner, runner-up and fourth- place finisher. As of Feb. 23, Zulu Dragon was the leading sire of money-earners and the only stallion to surpass $200,000 in offspring earnings in 2017.
The following list of stallions will see their first crops race in 2017, and horsemen will be keeping an eye on them as the racing season heats up this year.
