poutn And zoomin
by John Moorehouse
poutn And Zoomin made a fine competitive debut, winning the $36,399 Alberta Stallion Stakes Futurity at Northlands Park in Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada, on July 1.
Tabbed as the favorite in the eight-horse field
at post time, Poutn And Zoomin emerged from the two-gate underneath jockey Ricardo Moreno. The filly received the seventh call from the gates, but qui- kly opened up a 1/2-length lead as she reached the first call. Poutn And Zoomin doubled that advan- tage to 1-length by the time she entered the stretch, then held off a late bid by JB Runaway Special to win the race by a neck.
William Leech trains Poutn And Zoomin for owner/breeder Pete Schoeler. Poutn And Zoomin covered the 330 yards in :17.601, benefiting from a 10 mph tailwind.
Poutn And Zoomin becomes yet another stakes winner in her decorated brood.
Her dam, Poutnlori, also owned by Schoeler, won the 2004 Canada Cup Futurity-RG3 and the 2005 Alberta Bred Derby-RG3.
Poutn And Zoomin is the fourth foal from as many starters out of Poutnlori to post a stakes vic- tory. Her top money earner, Poutnokey, holds five graded stakes wins and set a 400-yard New Track Record while posting 11 victories and amassing more than $169,000 in prize money. Her other two stakes winners are Poutn On The Wagon, who also set a New Track Record, and Poutn With Speed.
JB Runaway Special (JB Runaway Fame-Ms Oakie Is Special) and jockey Alejandro Hernandez finished in second place for owners WT Ranch and Meghan Gayse and trainer Les Adams. JB Runaway Special was brushed at the start and just missed the win in this race.
Shesa Ivory Girl (Ivory League-Shes My Candy Girl) hustled through the lane and flew late in the race to come in third under rider Blanford Stewart for owner Westfield Oil Services and conditioner Buckey Stockwell.
The remaining order of finish was Miracle Opener (Miracle Recovery-Dash N Way), Northforkstreaker (Streakinisanattitude-Northfork Babe), Ulnvmy Shine (Six Packa Moonshine- Ulnvme) and Wild Magic Memories (Wild On Corona-Ms Magic Memories). Caddysgotanattitude and Western Moonshine were scratched.
