“He’s really smart,” said Julio. “He’s the only one we left a stud colt this year. He started doing everything like he already knew. He
was easy to break and started galloping like an older horse from day one.”
The Oklahoma Futurity is Julio’s biggest victory so far in his career. He also trained Im Beau Brown, winner of the 2016 Remington Championship Challenge-G2 and Dauns First Desirio, winner of the 2017 Adequan Derby Challenge Championship Stakes-G3.
The Oklahoma Futurity is the longest- running futurity in Quarter Horse racing, with the first running in 1947.
Bret Pevehouse’s homebred Reggies Bailbond (High Rate Of Return-Landaluce) finished second under jockey Omar Reyes for trainer Clint Crawford.
Reliance Ranches LLC’s homebred SC Money Maker (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Spit Curl Diva) ran third a neck behind the winner. Stormy Smith rode the gelding for trainer Mike Robbins in both SC Money Maker’s winning trial and the final.
Pops Tempting Wagon (Tempting Dash- Pops Zooming Wagon), Shez A Cartel Chick (Coronado Cartel-Chase This Chick), First Prize Shawn (Tempting Dash-First Prize Shaunda), Igotta Go Gotta Go (Separatist- Igottagoodee) and CR Smoke (PYC First Fancy Lee-Fly On Candy Tree) completed the order of finish. Demi More and Tempting Illusion were scratched.
Long Wagon Ho’s winning connections include owner/trainer Julio Corral and jockey Alfredo Triana Jr.
