Refrigerator Stakes-G1
SF HOT PASS
by Tracy Gantz
Trainer Leon Bard, jockey Francisco Calderon, and SF Hot Pass are a perfect three for three - all three coming in stakes races - since Bard took over the gelding’s training and Calderon began riding him this year. SF Hot Pass most recently added the $75,000 Refrigerator Stakes-G1 at Lone Star Park on Oct. 13.
SF Hot Pass broke on top and kept his head in front at every call. He won by that margin as well, completing the 440 yards in :21.198, posting a 105 speed index.
Prior to this win, SF Hot Pass won the TQHA Classic Stakes-RG2 at Retama Park on July 27 and the Nevill Stakes at Lone Star Park on Sept. 29. Shannon Fisher owns SF Hot Pass, who pocketed the $41,250 winner’s share of the purse to boost his total earnings to $95,780. His race record stands at 14-5(3)-2-0. The gelding was also a finalist in the 2017 West Texas Maturity-G2

duced 100% winners from five starters, including Southern Temptation, winner of the Harris County 550 Stakes and Delta 550 Stakes earlier this year. SF Hot Pass is the second stakes winner in the brood.
