Truly A Pleasure QH & TB H.
RULE HE WILL TB
by Tracy Gantz
Rule He Will TB scored his first stakes win in the $20,000 Truly A Pleasure Handicap at Los Alamitos on Aug. 31.
Quarter Horse Bound To Bet went off as the
13-10 favorite and set the early pace in the 870-yard Truly A Pleasure. Rule He Will, ridden by Kellie McDaid, moved up inside and had to angle out when he couldn’t find room. He then got clear and won by 1 1/2-lengths.
They completed the 870 yards in :45.062, post- ing a 98 speed index.
Rule He Will brought home the $11,000 win- ner’s share of the purse for owner William Branch and trainer Jerry Wallace II, boosting his total lifetime earnings to $100,225.
A switch from the longer Thoroughbred races
at Santa Anita and Del Mar to shorter events at Los Alamitos has been just the thing for Rule He Will. In eight starts at Los Alamitos, Rule He Will has won seven of nine races, with one second and one third.
The late Kjell Qvale bred Rule He Will out of unraced Sonoma Bred. The mare has produced two Thoroughbred foals, both winners. The third dam, Love Conquers All, was a multiple stakes winner and earner of $149,783.
Barrington Harvey rode Towards The Light TB (Munnings-Golda M) to second for owner 4 Hares Racing Inc. and trainer Michael Curtis.
Dr. Ed Allred’s homebred Bound To Bet QH (Snowbound TB-Bet She Flys) finished third under jockey Vinnie Bednar for trainer Scott Willoughby. Bound To Bet won last year’s Truly A Pleasure Handicap.
Newport Coaster QH (TR Dasher-Wave Babe), Mason B TB (Stormin Fever-Excessive Theresa), Dream On Brother TB (Run Brother Ron-Dream Spotter) and Handful Of Pearls TB (Bertrando- River Of Tears) completed the order of finish.

In her first start with trainer Jesus Nunez, Matilda Czech broke second under Cruz Mendez and quickly took the lead, which she lengthened throughout the 300 yards. The filly won by 1 1/4-lengths in :15.308, posting a 98 speed index.
Last year, Matilda Czech won the California Breeders’ Freshman Fillies Stakes and ran second in the Golden State Million Futurity-G1 and Ed Burke Memorial Juvenile Stakes.
Matilda Czech upped her earnings to $333,532 with the addition of the $8,250 winner’s share. Her record is now 13-7(2)-2(2)-0.
Owner/breeder EG High Desert Farms bred Matilda Czech out of Short Czech, winner of

She now has a race record of 7-2(1)-2-1(1), including a third place attempt in the Hadley/Giles Futurity earlier this year.
