Lorelei P&A Derby-G2
DTL SAMUREYE
by John Moorehouse
DTL Samureye rustled up his second stakes win of his sophomore campaign going wire-to- wire in the $18,850 Lorelei Paint and Appaloosa
Derby-G2 at Will Rogers Downs on Sept. 29. DTL Samureye made a sharp break from the 5-gate under Agustin Silva and led by 1-length at
the first call. The Paint gelding maintained that separation going into the stretch, and withstood a late rally by Bully Pulpit to reach the wire first sporting a 1/2-length margin. They completed the 400 yards in :20.007, registering an 87 speed index.
Owned by Almada Racing and trained by R.L. Robinson, DTL Samureye now holds three total victories in stakes company, also triumphing in the GCFA Paint & Appaloosa Maturity held in July
at Gillespie County Fair and in last year’s running of the Speedhorse Lone Star Paint & Appaloosa Futurity-G1. DTL Samureye’s record is now 11-4(3)-3(1)-1(1), and the $8,965 prize for this derby increased his total bankroll to $59,585.
Dean and Tonya Lester bred DTL Samureye out of Grade 2 finalist Eysa Savvy Queen. The mare has produced 100% winners from five starters. DTL Samureye is her first stakes winner, while Cashmere Queen, with $62,492, is the top earner of the brood.
The other two horses who hit the board share the same connections: owners Dan and Kay Jones and trainer Matt Whitekiller. Bully Pulpit APHA (CRM Livewire-Judys Apollo), who holds multiple Grade
1 stakes victories and was the post-time favorite
at less than even-money odds, finished second under Cody Smith. DCM Furyofthestorm APHA (Furyofthewind QH-Elaina Go Go) took third with Jose Vega aboard. Followed by Ruthies Hotrod APHA (CRM Livewire -First Down Rose), Cajun Prize ApHC (The Louisiana Cartel QH-Eye On The Prize) and RP Deans Livewire APHA (CRM Livewire-RP Miranda Dash).
