by John Moorehouse
De Capitator Bar entered black type in resound- ing manner, winning the $96,370 Cherry Creek Futurity held at Arapahoe Park on July 13.
Breaking from the 2-gate underneath Martin Lasalde, De Capitator Bar led by a head as he reached the first call and he maintained that narrow advan- tage at every remaining juncture, holding off DG Dreamer and finishing his 330-yard trip in :17.190 for an 86 speed index. De Capitator Bar captured a $38,548 payday that increased his lifetime bankroll to $42,188. Dana Lichlyter’s home-bred colt now has won two of his three career starts.

DG Dreamer (One Dashing Eagle-Iza Sugar N Spice) closed well to finish second by a head with Armando Ramirez aboard. Pedro and Lilia Andazola own the filly, who is trained by Hipolito Michel-Valverde.
Jess A Fly N Miracle (Jess Valentine-Fly Like Master), a longshot who posted the slowest qualify- ing time in the field, hit the board in third for owner Lorenzo Alonzo and trainer Jose Villafranco. Jonathan Dominguez did the riding.
Rounding out the order of finish was top qualifier Pitchforks Panther (Dominyun-Special Lady Panther) who was fourth, followed by Wagonfullofdarlings (Wagon Tales-Denim Darling), Skipin To First (First Down Dash-Skiptomylou), Captain Brave Heart (Captain Courage-Corona For You), Kina Big Deal (Jess Louisiana Blue-Teller Sheza Doll) and Intocable Cartel (Coronado Cartel-Tahiti Wave).
