Rob That Wagon won his Aug. 4 trial heat wire-
to-wire for the fifth fastest qualifying spot.
In the futurity finals, he broke second from the
three-post under Nikeela Black and quickly grabbed the lead, demolishing the field to finish 1-length
in front. The gelding completed the 300 yards in :15.223, posting a 99 speed index.
Rob That Wagon brought home the $15,480 winner’s share of the purse for owners RTM Stables LLC & Robin D. Dunn and trainer Mark Hanson, boosting his total lifetime earnings to $77,240.

out of First Tea Rose, a 3-time winner and finalist in the 2006 Sam Houston Futurity-G1 and Firecracker Futurity-G2. The mare has produced 100% money earners from 8 starters, including Rock That Wagon, winner of the 2013 Simulcast Service Stakes and 2015 Dash For Speed Stakes with two runner-up attempts
in the 2014 Pen Pal Stakes and American Flyer Stakes. Rob That Wagon is the 2nd stakes winner in the brood.

Bred by the Estate of Carl Pevehouse, the filly was second in her Aug. 4 trial heat to the finals just behind Rob That Wagon and had the eighth fastest time.
A solid effort under Raymundo Torres produced a third-place check for fastest qualifier DK First Frost (Coronado Cartel-A Special First) for owner/ breeder Don Knopp and trainer Jarrett Mills. The filly also qualified for the Rocky Mountain Spring Classic Futurity.
One Way Woman (Stel Corona-Hard Lining), Mistyduino (EttaduinoMisty Fish RR), Look Secret (We Have A Secret-Righteous Look), Dust A Tac (Tac It Like A Man-Deans Dusty Bunny) and Sweetheart Sammie (Inseperable-My Sweet Sammie) completed the order of finish.

The bay gelding returned to the Oneida County Derby finals under Dallas Erickson, who also rode him in his trial run.

ONE SWEET RACY
by Tracy Gantz
One Sweet Racy had come close in big races before, but she hadn’t quite put together
a stakes victory, until Aug. 12 at Los Alamitos.
Though it was close, the photo showed her the winner in the $24,480 Boehringer Ingelheim Los Alamitos Distaff Challenge-G3.
Owner Johnny Trotter shipped One Sweet Racy to trainer Chris O’Dell at Los Alamitos, and she won an allowance race in July. That set her up for the Distaff Challenge.
Ridden by Eduardo Nicasio, she battled with Duck Dash N Go early in the 400 yards and then held off One Hot Habit to win by a neck in :19.689, posting a 95 speed index.
Previously, One Sweet Racy had finished second in the 2017 All American Derby-G1 and 2018 Decketta Stakes-G3 and third in the 2018 Juno’s Request Stakes-G2. The filly now has a race record of 15-3(1)-4(2)-4(1) and has a total bankroll of $304,273.
Sunflower Supply Co. bred One Sweet Racy out of five-time multiple graded stakes winner Miss Racy Vike. The mare has produced 20 winners from 28 starters, including Champion Miss Racy Jess, stakes winner Miss Racy Eyes, and seven stakes-placed run- ners such as Heritage Place Futurity-G1 runner-up Vikes Iota.
Cody Jensen piloted One Hot Habit (Walk Thru Fire-Jess Another Habit) to second for owner Turner Farms and trainer Paul Jones. Duck Dash N Go (Coronas Fast Dash-Duck Mea Running) finished third under Jesus Ayala for owner Vicente Treyes and trainer Monty Arossa.
Precious Dominique (Foose-Dash For Kate), Maggie Durant (One Sweet Jess-Up Down Dash), Staggering Stride (Mr Jess Perry-Dinastia Toll Brz) and Start Somethin Bad (Pappasito-Letsgetitstarted) completed the order of finish.
