NINETEEN CRIMES
Ricardo M. Ramirez’s Nineteen Crimes, a bay son of Big Daddy Cartel and the $97,000 yearling sale-topper at last year’s New Mexico- Bred Sale, sprinted to a half-length victory in the April 27, 300-yard Desert Classic Futurity (R) for 2-year-olds sired by participating stallions at Turf Paradise.
Saddled by Rigoberto Guillen, Nineteen Crimes stopped the timer in :15.855. Martin Osuna rode the gelding, who banked the $48,625 winner’s share of the $97,250 purse.
Nineteen Crimes was bred by Mac and Janis Murray’s MJ Farms at Veguita, New Mexico. His sire, Big Daddy Cartel, is a winning 13-year- old son of the Holland Ease stallion Corona Cartel. Racing at Ruidoso Downs in 2011, Big Daddy Cartel earned $121,800 from five starts, and he was a finalist in that season’s Grade 1 All American and Rainbow futurities.
Big Daddy Cartel has sired the earners of more than $13.4 million from seven crops, including multiple graded stakes winners Cat Daddys Lil Girl, Bigg Daddy, Bigg Dee, and Mamacita Cartel. A half-brother to stakes winner Racy La Jolla, the stallion is owned by and stands for a $5,500 fee at MJ Farms.
Nineteen Crimes is out of Ms Riptide, a winning and multiple graded stakes placed
15-year-old daughter of the First Down Dash stallion Ocean Runaway. The gelding is a half- brother to multiple graded stakes winner and 2019 All American Futurity (G1) runner-up Mister Riptide.
Nineteen Crimes’ second dam, the Mr
Jess Perry mare Sixes Ms Perry, won the 2004 AQHA Texas Distaff Challenge Stakes (G3) at Sam Houston Race Park.
Nineteen Crimes began his career with
a one-length victory in a 220-yard, $18,000 maiden-special-weight dash at Turf Paradise on March 16, and he set the fastest qualifying time to the Desert Classic Futurity with his
2 1/4-length win in the first of three trials on April 5. All told, the gelding has won all three of his starts and has banked $67,188.
RR Czech This Panama (Panama Wes- Cranberry Czech) finished second and was followed officially by All Da Kings Men (Eye Am King-Da Edge).
Third-fastest qualifier RR Czech This Panama earned $19,450 for his owner, Ricardo Ramirez. A maiden, the Arizona-bred daughter of the Walk Thru Fire stallion Panama Wes has banked $22,444 from three races.
All Da Kings Men, the eighth-fastest qualifier, pocketed the $9,725 third-place
share of the purse for his owner, Jose Aguilar Mendoza. A $32,000 yearling purchase at last year’s New Mexico-Bred Sale, the sorrel son of the Mr Jess Perry stallion Eye Am King has earned $10,349 from two races.
