GONE ALL IN
by Michael Compton
Gone All In, a Texas-bred daughter of Champion Tres Seis, earned her way into the Bank of America Challenge Championships with
a game score in the $54,900 John Deere Prairie Meadows Juvenile Challenge on Sept. 12.
Fresh off a gate-to-wire score in the Aug. 29 trials, Gone All In, the fastest qualifier for the main event, scored the initial stakes victory of her young career utilizing a far different running style than she employed to win her trial dash.
Ridden by jockey Cody Smith, Gone All In raced toward the rear of the field early in the 350-yard con- test. When Gone All In hit her best stride, however, it was all over. A furious late rally propelled her to a 1-length win as the odds-on favorite. She stopped the timer in :17.675, earning a speed index of 90.
Trained by Jason Olmstead, Gone All In is owned by Gene and Faye Reeves. With the win, Gone All In has a tab of 6-4-2-0, and the $25,254 winner’s share of the purse increased her bankroll to $76,294.
Vessels Stallion Farm and Jerry Windham bred Gone All In out of the multiple stakes-placed mare Gone First. In addition to Gone All In, she is the dam of Grade 1-placed This Eagles Gone, who fin- ished 2nd in the 2014 Texas Classic Derby-G1.
Runner-up Going Viral (Brimmerton-All N the Jeans) showed the way early under Agustin Silva, but proved no match for the winner. Clinton Crawford trains the filly for owner Hershel Cole. Bella Nonna (Separatist-Dorothy Nell) finished with interest for jockey Larry Payne to nab 3rd for owners Wade Siegel & Don Boyle and trainer William Harris. Followed by There Goes My Wallet (Mr Piloto-Coronita Cartel), Jess Attack (Mr Jess Perry-First Attack), Carters Form (Carters Cartel-Streakin Rare), Cartel Dakota (Favorite Cartel-ND Bunny Jet), Bad Girl Phase (Carters Cartel- Girls Eye Too), Regal Ivory (Ivory James-The Regal Streak), Goin At It (Ivory James-Brimful).

AJS HIGH
by Michael Compton
AJS High secured another berth in the Bank of America Challenge Championships with a victory in the $43,020 Adequan Prairie Meadows Derby Challenge on Sept. 12.
Sent to the post as the odds-on favorite, AJS High didn’t disappoint. With regular rider Stormy Smith riding for trainer Charley Hunt, AJS High raced toward the rear of the field in the early stages of the 400-yard fixture. Propelled by a strong closing kick, the gelding passed his rivals, charging clear late to score a 1-length win in :19.688 for a 93 a speed index. It was the 7th win from his last 10 starts and the $19,789 win- ner’s share increased his career bankroll to $282,494.
More importantly, the win lands AJS High, a 4-time stakes winner, back in the Bank of America Challenge Championships. AJS High captured last year’s John Deere Juvenile Challenge-G2 at Prairie Meadows after winning that tracks Juvenile Challenge. Also numbered among his stakes successes is a win in the Remington Park Oklahoma-bred Derby-RG3.
Owned and bred by Michael Teel, AJS High is out of the winning mare Regally Rare. AJS High is a 1/2-brother to multiple graded stakes winner Struttin High, an earner of $350,092.
Bye Bye Birdy (Hawkinson-Sweet Bye And Bye) dueled for the lead early and held 2nd in a game effort under James Flores for Barbara Barley & trainer Larry Sharp. Cowboy Sexy (Valiant Hero-Louisiana Blue Dream) turned in a solid effort for 3rd under Cody Smith for Perfectest Partnership & trainer Charley Hunt. Tac My Chances (Tac It Like A Man-Salty N Steady TB), Honeymoon Candy (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Jess Send Candy), Feature A Runaway (Ocean Runaway-Feature Dreamgirl), Panther Prize Me (Panther Mountain-Toast To Gypsy), Defiant Red Rooster (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Dashing Mariah), Stolen Fortune (Stoli-Six Loops), Whattookyousolong (Furyofthewind-Lizas Mystique) followed.
Merial PRM Distaff Challenge
SUDDEN SEPARATION
by Michael Compton
Sudden Separation ran true to her name in win- ning the $32,580 Merial Prairie Meadows Distaff Challenge on Sept. 12 as the 4-5 favorite.
With James Flores in the irons, Sudden Separation broke smartly, gaining the lead soon after the start of the 400-yard contest. She asserted her superiority in the lane, bounding clear late to win as she pleased by 1 1/4-lengths.
Sudden Separation covered the distance in :19.532 and earned a 97 speed index for the winning effort, which also earned her a berth in this year’s Bank of American Challenge Championships. It was the third stakes win of 2015 for Sudden Separation, who also annexed the Golden Driller Stakes and the Rocky Heinzig Memorial Stakes. The $14,660 winner’s share of the Merial Prairie Meadows Distaff Challenge purse increased her lifetime bankroll to $39,273.
Owner-breeder Duane Murphy bred Sudden Separation in Oklahoma out of the graded stakes- winning Okey Dokey Dale mare Okie Dokey Annie. A winner in 7 of 23 overall and a track record-setter in 2008 at 350 yards at Will Rogers Downs (:17.708), Okie Dokey Annie won the 2006 Kansas Futurity-G2 and two other stakes, amassing career earnings of $94,773. Sudden Separation is her lone stakes winner.
Send Me This Wagon (PYC Paint Your Wagon- Jess Send Candy) led early, but could not match strides with the winner late. Jorge Torres rode for owner Michael Pohl & trainer Randy Hill. Owner/trainer Miguel Banuelos’ hard-knocking Kuhl Wave (Wave Carver-Shazooms Doll) rallied late to finish 3rd under Raul Gutierrez. Followed by Kateillac (Furyofthewind- Wildkate), Xoom (Shazoom-Dashing Dion), Madresita (Pappasito-Mongoose Jet Eye), Captivating Cara (Captain Courage-Sheleavu Witha Smile), Sooner Country Babe (Country Chicks Man-Sooner Take Greene) & Dashing Lili (First Down Dash-Lili Call Me).
