The Marathon Handicap
MT VEEDER TB
by Tracy Gantz
Bill and Susan Tomasic purchased the Thoroughbred Mt Veeder for $17,000 out of the 2016 Keeneland Fall Mixed Sale. They parlayed
their buy several stakes victories, most recently in the $24,250 Marathon Stakes at SunRay Park on May 4. Five Quarter Horses and two Thoroughbreds
lined up for the 870-yard Marathon. Mt Veeder got away last and raced 8-wide around the turn. He made up enough ground, however, to win by 1 1/2-lengths as the 3-10 favorite.
Mt Veeder originally sold for $200,000 at the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Alfredo Juarez Jr. rode the 5-year-old gelding for trainer Justin Evans in the Marathon.
Mt Veeder captured the 2015 Contender Stakes at Los Alamitos and also won the 2017 Zia Park Sprint Stakes and KLAQ Handicap at Sunland Park, where he set a New Track Record for 5 furlongs. Most recently, the gelding won the Bill Thomas Memorial Stakes at Sunland Park in March. His record is now 18-9(5)-2(1)-4(2) with $312,382.
Hans Poetsch bred Mt Veeder out of mul- tiple winner Glenbriar Girl. She has produced
six winners from as many starters. Mt Veeder is a half-brother to stakes-placed A J’s Mountain, and his second dam, Spa Warning, also produced mil- lionaire Two Item Limit.
Funny Munny (Munnings TB-Fodice) ran second under jockey Alejandro Medellin for owner Leann Archuleta and trainer Adam Archuleta.
Richard Sedillo trains third-placed finisher First Place TB (First Samurai-Right Place) and co-owns him with Phyllis Wolfe. Frank Reyes was up.
Cool Cash 123 (Oak Tree Special-Hot Cash 123), DM Nate Dog (Gonna Ro Sham Bo-Kat Kora), Fire Thorn (Shazoom-Reba Macintyler) and Linda Tee Fire (Walk Thru Fire-Jess Linda Tee) completed the order of finish.

After setting a New Track Record in the 300- yard trials on May 5, Jess Send It notched her first stakes victory in the $77,255 Hadley Giles Futurity at Weber Downs on May 19.
Jess Send It and jockey Jesus Valenzuela blew away from the 9-post on the lead and blew the field away. She got the first call while a couple of horses tried to hang with her, but she was never headed and crossed the wire 1 1/2-length ahead of the near-
est competition. Jess Sent It completed the race in :15.499 for a 102 speed index.
Undefeated in her first two starts, Jess Send It, brought home the $35,537 winner’s share of the purse for owner Keith Nielson and trainer Riley Moosman, boosting her total lifetime earnings to $35,887. Turner Farms bred Jess Send It out of 3-time winner Jess Send Me, who ran second in the 2011 All American Futurity-G1 and made over $361,000 in her day. She has produced 100% money earners from five starters. Jess Send It is her first stakes win- ner and top earner.
Dust A Tac (Tac It Like A Man-Deans Dusty Bunny) finished second for owner Abelardo Gonzales and trainer Luis H. Gonzales. Joseph Belloc Jr. was in the irons.
Mommas Dynasty (Fdd Dynasty-Bye Sweet Girl) finished third under Jesus Canales for owners Edward McNelis and Von Zae McNelis and trainer Jordan Hadley.

by Danny Camp
