THE LOUISIANA DREAM
by Michael Compton
The Louisiana Dream overcame a slow beginning to remain undefeated in three tries at Prairie Meadows, taking the $27,250 Covered Bridges Stakes on Oct. 12.
Ridden by Francisco Giles, The Louisiana Dream raced in fifth position, but rallied strongly around the far turn of the 870-yard marathon and drew clear of the field in the stretch. The Louisiana Dream powered home to score by a commanding
2 1/2-lengths as the odds-on favorite, stopping the timer in :46.235 and earning an 89 speed index in the initial stakes win of his career. The gelding won his previous start at the same distance on Aug. 30 by 4 1/2-lengths.
Saddled by trainer Jose Barron, The Louisiana Dream is owned by Hugo Sierra Barron, Ronald Van Amburgh and Denise Van Amburgh. The win improved the his overall record to 16-4(1)-1-4(1) and the $14,500 winner’s share of the purse increased his earnings to $42,598.

Wild West Futurity
MS PATTY CAKE
by Tracy Gantz
The Fales family’s Fales Ranch is a major Quarter Horse operation in Arizona. So it was fitting that they had the first Arizona-bred, Ms Patty Cake,
to win the $117,150 Wild West Futurity at Los Alamitos in California on Oct. 27.
The Wild West Futurity trials were held Oct. 6, with favoritism going to fastest qualifier Senor Frogs. Jockey Jorge Bourdieu broke Ms Patty Cake out of the gate in second. They vied with Senor Frogs for the entire 350 yards, edging that rival by a head in :17.623, posting a 94 speed index.
Matthew Fales trains Ms Patty Cake for his parents, Ralph and Carolyn Fales. The filly broke her maiden in her Wild West Futurity trial after two thirds and a second.
The Fales bred Ms Patty Cake from out of winning homebred Shiftin. The mare has produced three winners in four starters. Ms Patty Cake is her first stakes winner and was one of three in the field by Texas Icon, who stands at Fales Ranch.
Jesus Ayala piloted Senor Frogs (Coronado Cartel-Nellie Soprano) to second place for owner Freddy Ibarra and trainer Lindolfo Diaz. Senor Frogs earlier this year won the Grants Pass Firecracker Futurity.
Gary and Jeralyn Messenger’s homebred Zoom On Jess (Jess Zoomin-Feature Miss Fame) finished third. Eduardo Nicasio rode the gelding for trainer Monty Arrossa. Zoom On Jess won this year’s Idaho Cup Futurity and The Plan Handicap.
