by Michael Cusortelli
Joe and Karen Williams’ Awesome View broke his maiden in the 350-yard $60,308 John Deere Will Rogers Juvenile Challenge at Will Rogers Downs on Oct. 3.
James Flores rode the black gelding for trainer Michelle Hurdle. In a full field of 10 two year olds, Awesome View led at every call en route to a 1/2-length victory over Viva Le Zoom.
Awesome View set the 3rd-fastest qualifying
time with his 2nd-place finish, a 1/2-length behind fastest qualifier Valentino Pete, in the 2nd of 3 trials on Sept. 12. The black gelding is out of Ivory Key, a homebred 9 year old. He traces back to his third dam, More Than Dreams, a stakes-winning daughter of 1970 Champion 2-Year-Old Colt Rocket Wrangler.
Awesome View made his debut with a third place run in a 330-yard $29,638 maiden-special-weight dash for Oklahoma-bred juveniles at Remington Park on May 22. All told, he has won one of three starts, and the $27,742 winner’s share of the Will Rogers Juvenile Challenge purse bumped his earn- ings to $32,406.
Runner-up Viva Le Zoom (Zoomin For Bux-Viva Arriba) banked $12,062 to bring her earnings to $15,552 from three outs for owner Rockin J Running Horses. Cody Smith rode the homebred brown filly and second-fastest qualifier for trainer Tammy Johnson.

LYNNDER 16
by Michael Cusortelli
Lynnder 16, a five-year-old daughter of Apollitical Jess campaigned by Tom Maher and Richard L. Tobin, extended her win streak to four races with a
3/4-length victory in the $34,315 Q-Racing Video Will Rogers Distaff Challenge at Will Rogers Downs on Oct. 3.
Ridden by Edwin Escobedo for trainer Jason Olmstead, Lynnder 16 covered 400 yards in :20.089. The sorrel mare banked $17,158 for the win.
Raced at eight tracks in six different states, Lynnder 16 has won 15 of 28 starts and the winner’s share of this purse from her eighth lifetime stakes victory increased her earnings to $750,983. The filly was a finalist in the 2018 All American Futurity-G1, and she ended her 4-year-old season with a win in the AQHA Distaff Challenge Championship-G1.
Lynnder 16 was bred in Oklahoma by James and Marilyn Helzer, and she was purchased by Maher and Tobin for $31,000 at the 2017 Heritage Place Winter Mixed Sale. Her dam, Tinys Corona Queen, produced multiple stakes winner Apollitical Man,
a full-brother to Lynnder 16. Lynnder 16’s second dam, the Grade 1-winning First Down Dash mare Tiny First Effort, was the sport’s Champion Three- Year-Old Filly in 2001.
First Lucy Lark (Im A Fancy PYC-First Ginlark) ran second under Ruben Castro for owner Dustin R. Cox and trainer Troy Carter. The filly was also 2nd in the 2020 Easy Jet Stakes.
FG Jess Dash (Volcom-Jess Walking Thru) finished third under Agustin Silva for owners Billy Peterson, Scott Bryant and Joe Dee Brooks and trainer Shawna Manriquez. The filly broke her maiden her first out at Ruidoso Downs.
Mae Capone (FDD Dynasty-Cold Hearted Cartel) ran fourth and was followed by Moon Baby Moon (Moonin The Eagle- Jakes Jockmo) and Features Finest Kind (Tres Seis-Feature For You).
OQHRA Fall Classic
CHARLIES FURY
by Tracy Gantz
Charlies Fury proved last year that he could win a black-type race at Will Rogers Downs, and then earlier this year he stepped up to a Graded win
at Remington Park. Bettors took note and made him the odds-on favorite for the $21,190 OQHRA Fall Classic Stakes at Will Rogers Downs on Oct. 1. Charlies Fury did not disappoint his backers.
Regular pilot Augustin Silva climbed back aboard Charlies Fury for the 400-yard event. They make a good team, which they demonstrated once again. Charlies Fury broke on top, and while it was close early, he scored by a 1/2-length in :19.742.
Michelle Hurdle trains Charlies Fury for owners/ breeders Tom and Kathleen McNally. The 5-year-old gelding has won four stakes (three at Will Rogers and this year’s Bob Moore Memorial Stakes-G2 at Remington), run second in five others, and finished third in another stakes. He has earned $347,851.
The McNallys bred Charlies Fury out of their winning homebred mare Jess Charlena. She has produced three starters, all winners, including Jess My Hocks, winner of the 2021 Leo Stakes-G1 and 2020 AQHA Derby Challenge Championship Stakes-G3 and Will Rogers Downs Derby Challenge Stakes.
Giant Courage (Captain Courage-Deelish), ridden by Cody Wainscott, owned by Felipe Morales Martinez, and trained by Felesha Gold finished second. The 6-year-old gelding has won five previous races.
James Flores rode BP Primetime (Im A Fancy PYC-BP Southern Mariah) to third for owner H E Racing LLC and trainer Buddy Clay. BP Primetime was coming off a second in the Speedhorse Derby at Fair Meadows.
Completing the field were DF Storm Tales (Wagon Tales-Storm’s Promise TB), Coyotee Dale (Jess Lips-Docs Dusty Dale), and Relentless Doll (Hes Relentless-Lil Miss Party Doll).
