DADDYSQUEENOFALICE
by Michael Compton
At odds of 12-1, Daddysqueenofalice registered a front-running upset in the $340,666 Mountain Top New Mexico Bred Futurity-RG2 at Ruidoso Downs on June 18 to win the first race of her career for owners Triple R Racing Stables and Kim Middleton and for trainer James Gonzales II.
With jockey Ricky Ramirez in the irons Daddysqueenofalice broke best and assumed command from her rail post position. She cleared her rivals early, taking advantage of bumping incidents behind her and opened
1 1/2-lengths on the field in the lane. She kept to her task in the run to the finish, defeating Call Me Jessiecartel by 1-length on the line. The winner ran the 350 yards wire-to-wire in :17.582, earning a speed index of 91.
It was the initial victory for Daddysqueenofalice, who just missed in her career debut in her June 2 trial heat, finishing second, beaten just a 1/2-length by Chicka
