EYESA SPECIAL HARPER
by Dillon Hamilton
Odds-on favorite Eyesa Special Harper became a multiple stakes winner in the $37,650 Wyoming All Breeds Futurity at Energy Downs on Sept. 17.
The chestnut filly broke second from the 4-post under Luis Peralta. Her half-brother and stablemate Eyesa Special Shadow, sprinted out to an early 4-length lead, but Eyesa Special Harper allowed the sibling rivalry to fuel her late surge past the leader, catching him near the wire and winning by a neck.
Eyesa Special Harper and Peralta bolted down
the 350-yard track in :17.794, earning a 95 speed index. The filly won her Sept. 3 trial heat at Central Wyoming Fair earning her the third fastest qualifier spot to the finals. The Wyoming All Breeds Futurity is the filly’s fourth consecutive win and second stakes win, having also scored in the Wyoming Bred Futurity at Wyoming Downs.
Owner and breeder Broken Bones Cattle Company took home the $13,178 winner’s share of the purse, nearly doubling the filly’s lifetime earn- ings, which now stand at $28,354. Jesse Villegas trains Eyesa Special Harper.
