by Michael Compton
With an authoritative 1/2-length score in the $37,100 Wyoming Bred Futurity at Wyoming Downs on July 24, Eyesa Special Harper joined the ranks of stakes winners.
The Wyoming Bred Futurity marked the second consecutive race that the talented filly has crossed the finish in front of her foes, including her July 10 trial in which she finished 1 1/4-lengths in front for the fourth fastest qualifying time.
Straight and true, Eyesa Special Harper showed the way from start to finish in the finals. With Luis Peralta riding for trainer Jesse Villegas, Eyesa Special Harper required :15.430 to cover the 300 yards.
The final time earned the winner a speed index of 97. Victorious in two of four outings now, the Broken Bones Cattle Company homebred improved her bankroll to $14,176 with the addition of this $12,985 winner’s share.
Bred in Wyoming, Eyesa Special Harper is produced from stakes winner and multiple stakes- placed mare Streakin Camilla. She has produced 100% money earners from five starters, including additional stakes winner/top earner Eyesa Special River and stakes-placed Eyesa Special Roscoe.

Utah Bred Futurity
GENUINE VERSION
by John Moorehouse
Genuine Version earned black-type after winning the $33,600 Utah Bred Futurity at Wyoming Downs on July 23. A Chad Giles trainee,
Genuine Version went wire-to-wire in his July 9 trial, taking the 3rd fastest qualifying position in :17.556. The sorrel gelding was even faster in the finals, com- pleting the race once again in wire-to-wire fashion and this time stopping the clock in :17.468 for a career-best 103 speed index.
Genuine Version had no equal in the Utah Bred Futurity, breaking on top from the 2-post, leading by a nose at the 1st call and maintaining that slim advantage entering the stretch. Regular rider Oscar Cervantes kept Genuine Version on course, and he beat GM Picture Perfect to the wire by a head.
Owned by Gary Laramie & Janet Oakeson, Genuine Version now holds 3 victories in 5 starts. That win total also includes his trial for the Sherm Hadley/ Giles Futurity, which qualified him to the finals where he finished last after stumbling badly at the start.
The Utah Bred Futurity $15,972 winners’ share boosted Genuine Version’s earnings to $19,753.
Allreds Horse Haven bred Genuine Version and home-bred his dam, Audy B Flyin, a lightly-raced mare who has produced 4 starters from 5 offspring.
GM Picture Perfect (Desirio-Broad Picture) surprised in 2nd as a 14-1 longshot. The filly is
owned by Gary Carmichael & trained by Glade Van Tassell. Cordarelton Benn was aboard. Dashin Happy (Winners Version-Dashin Amy Jo) took 3rd by a nose for A & C Racing and Roping. The Chancey Spencer trainee had Tyson Lusk aboard.

Daniel Torres drew the riding assignment as I Cant Help It covered the distance in :17.793, posting an 87 speed index. This was the filly’s first stakes victory, although she was a finalist in this year’s Juno’s Request Stakes at Remington Pakrk.
Pretty Girl Kate, I Cant Help It’s dam, won the 2007 running of the Kansas Bred Derby as the high- light in a 15-race career that included five victories. JK Running Horses, LLC bred I Cant Help It in Kansas and owns Pretty Girl Kate.
