Victoria Ennis P&A Memorial
DTL CHASIN TALE
by John Moorehouse
DTL Chasin Tale only has made three outs thus far, and he already has two stakes wins to his credit after he added a 3/4-length victory in the $25,579
Victoria Ennis Memorial for Paints and Appaloosa, held at Remington Park on April 27.
DTL Teel Partnership owns the two-year-old gelding, who banked a $14,985 payday that pushed his total earnings to $78,993. DTL Chasin Tale made a false break, getting away from the 9-gate a bit late, but gained ground in a hurry. The gelding had the lead by the time he entered the stretch, and the even-money favorite pulled away during the final yards. He finished his 330-yard trip in :16.779 for a 90 speed index, benefiting from a 12 mph tailwind.
Matt Whitekiller trains DTL Chasin Tale, who had Cody Smith aboard. Smith has ridden DTL Chasin Tale on each of his career outs. The trainer and jockey also successfully combined to win the American Paint Classic Futurity-G1 later on the April 27 card.
Dean and Tonya Lester, who co-own DTL Chasin Tale, also bred the gelding out of APHA World Champion Shez Showin Odd.
Banking On Kool APHA (Kool Wagon QH-Thank The Bank) finished second for owner/ trainer Roberto Duenes. Gaspar Garcia did the riding.
Lovin de Capo APHA (Capo de Capi QH-A Little Lovin) finished in third. Eddie D. Willis owns and trains the gelding, who had Justine Klaiber aboard.
The remaining order of finish was Bodacious Ben APHA (Bodacious Dash QH-Snowdacious), PHQ Apollitical Jess APHA (Apollitical Jess QH-PHQ Princess Stefanie), Onlycloverofmine APHA (Capo de Capi QH-Onlytreasureofmine), Road House Queen APHA (Cartel Success QH-Awesome Mistres), JS Kool Hand Luke APHA (Kool Wagon QH-Linda Lajolla) and Catch This Kitty APHA (Panther Mountain QH-Miami Moon).
