PCQHRA Breeders’ Futurity-G2
COLE MAN 47
by Tracy Gantz
Steve McIntyre of South Jordan, Utah, has fun partnering with friends in many of his horses, and he has been successful at it.
“We’ve partnered with Lee and Kathy Giles in Utah for many years and partnered with Ron and Laurie Moosman of R/M Stables,” McIntyre said.
McIntyre’s latest partnership is with Champion trainer Paul Jones and Jones’
wife, Marin. McIntyre and his wife, JoAnn, currently cheer on Cole Man 47, owned by Steve and Marin. The gelding, winner of
the PCQHRA Breeders’ Futurity-G2 at Los Alamitos on Oct. 6, is also special because the McIntyres named him for their grandson Cole.
“Forty-seven is his soccer number,” said Steve. “He’s 12 years old and plays with a pretty good team in Utah. He’s my oldest daughter’s boy.”
The day of the PCQHRA Breeders’ Futurity, Cole had a game at 8:30 a.m. in Utah. He played in the game, and then he and many other family members boarded a plane to fly to California for the race. “Look at this group of friends that are here,” said Steve. “I’m so thank- ful to them for making the effort to come and enjoy this race with us.”
A jubilant Paul Jones smiled and added, “Half of Utah is here.”
The large crowd saw a terrific horse race. Cole Man 47, ridden by Ramon Sanchez, broke sharply and on the lead from post eight. Fastest-qualifier Estelline battled with him for the first half of the 350 yards, and then Cole Man 47 had to hold off fast-closing Jess Bein Me, which he did by a neck in :17.692.
Jones unveiled Cole Man 47 in a 300-yard maiden race at Los Alamitos in April. The colt, who has made all of his starts
at the California track, finished second by a head and then qualified to the Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity-G2
with a second in his trial. He finished seventh in those finals and in six subsequent starts since hasn’t finished worse than third. Cole Man 47 broke his maiden in June and then won the John Deere Los Alamitos Juvenile Challenge in August.
Jones wasn’t immediately sure if he would bring Cole Man 47 back for the John Deere Juvenile Challenge Championships at Los Alamitos Nov. 17.
“We might skip the John Deere and go for the Two Million trials,” the trainer said.
Cole Man 47 has now earned $194,814 in his short career, and his race record stands at 3(2)-4-1 from nine career starts.
McIntyre bred Cole Man 47 in Utah from 2-time winner GM Silver Dreams. The mare, bred by McIntyre and Lee Giles, has produced 100% money earners and four winners from
five starters. Dreamit, Cole Man 47’s second dam, is McIntyre’s foundation mare and is also the dam of New World Record holder Strike It Quick.
McIntyre, retired as
a salesman and general manager for a car dealership in Salt Lake City, has been racing and breeding Quarter Horses since 1995.
“A couple of babies out of her (Dreamit) ran at Ruidoso,” said McIntyre.
“One of them (Dreams Fly Bye) qualified to the Rainbow Futurity in 2010 for Paul.”
Dreamit had only one filly, GM Silver Dreams, before she broke her back in a pasture.
“That was devastating,” said McIntyre. “I went looking for the filly and bought her back. We’ve gotten some nice babies out of GM Silver
