Baxter Andruss Oregon Bred F.
ONE FLYIN FOOSE
by Michael Compton
One Flyin Foose flew to her third consecutive win and second stakes score with a fast-clos- ing victory in the $24,350 Baxter Andruss Oregon
Bred Futurity at Grants Pass on Nov. 3. Ridden by jockey Jaime Lopez, One Flyin
Foose broke near the back of the pack and raced in third position early in the 400-yard contest. After angling out for clear sailing, the bay filly rallied strongly in the lane and ran down One Famous Disco Man and jockey Mckenzie King to score by a nose at the finish.
Saddled by trainer Freddy Ibarra, One Flyin Foose stopped the timer in :20.069 and earned a 97 speed index.
In winning for the sixth time in nine starts this season, One Flyin Foose increased her bankroll to $37,053. It was the second stakes win for One Flyin Foose who annexed $34,150 the Far West Futurity in her previous start on Oct. 13.
Bred and owned by Matthew Huse, One Flyin Foose is out of 2012 Pot O’Gold Futurity winner One Famous Strawfly. The mare was also a finalist in the 2012 Firecracker Futurity at Grants Pass. One Famous Strawfly has produced 100% winners from two starters. One Flyin Foose is her first stakes winner.
Her second dam, winner Strawfly Lady, has also produced 2013 $161,500 Dash For Cash Derby-G2 winner Captain Strawfly, who has amassed earn- ings of $166,129.
Second place finisher One Famous Disco Man (One Famous Man-Disco Arboleta 37) saw the lead briefly in the lane and just missed under jockey Mckenzie King for owner Juan Gabriel Romero Lopez and trainer Adrian Quinones. The sorrel colt broke his maiden in his previous outing and was fourth in the May 12 Pot O’ Gold Futurity.
CM Smokin Ocean (Ocean Runaway-Im Special Star) and jockey Kassie Guglielmino finished third in an even effort for owner/breeder Randy Dickerson and trainer Nick Lowe. The gray gelding broke his maiden at Sandy Downs earlier in the year and was a finalist in the Oct. 13 Far West Futurity at Grants Pass.
Fast Movin Freight (Freighttrain B-Real
Queen Like It) and Hold On Im Gone (Coronado Cartel-Fergilicious) followed. However, Fast Movin Freight was disqualified from fourth and placed sixth for interference. Royal Pay Bac (Radical Splash-My Desert Sage) was bumped at the start and lost his rider.
King Rick Rack Stakes-G3
STOLIS PRO
by John Moorehouse
After finishing fourth in last year’s running of the King Rick Rack Stakes, Stolis Pro came back and won this year by 1/2-length on Dec. 1 at Zia Park.
Jackie Riddle trains Stolis Pro, who broke well from the 2-post and led at every remaining call of the 870-yard event. The gelding set the early pace, leading by a head at the first call, then widened the gap to 1/2-length as he entered the stretch. Jockey Francisco Calderon maintained that separation at the wire, as Stolis Pro finished his trip in :46.330 for a 90 speed index.
Stolis Pro remaines undefeated in three outs in 2019—all stakes races. After a nine-month layoff to open the year, Stolis Pro has compiled a win streak that includes the San Marcos Stakes and the Sandia Stakes. He notched his 16th overall win in this event, with seven of those coming in stakes company. Owner/breeder Jerry Windham scored the $29,400 first place check and Stolis Pro increased his earnings to $182,656.
Windham bred Stolis Pro out of winner Veva Jean, who was a runner-up in the Yellow Rose Stakes. She has produced 100% money earners from 21 starters.
Five wide off the turn, Why Buy The Cow (Heza Motor Scooter-Southwest Treasure) finished a game second under Luis Rodriguez for owner Carrol Durbin and trainer Simon Buechler.
Illtakeyouforaride (FDD Dynasty- Dashingfordestiny), the post-time favorite, placed third for Illtakeyouforaride Partnership. Michael Joiner is the trainer and Kelsi Purcell was in the irons.
Rod James (Jesse James Jr-Lady Rubina), Spit Prize Corona (Spit Curl Jess-Fast Prize Corona),
J Boy A (Jess Zoomin-Mighty Classy Lassy), D
E Wagons Strawfly (Genuine Strawfly-Wagons Maiden) and Amsterdams Big Daddy (Big Daddy Cartel-Amsterdam) completed the order of finish. Al Siete D Copas and Easily Bono were scratched.
Lovington Stakes-G2
THIS IS A DEAL TOO
by John Moorehouse
Trainer Jackie Riddle and jockey Francisco Calderon kicked off December in fine fashion, combining their efforts for winners in graded stakes races in back-to-back events on the Dec. 1 card at Zia Park. Stolis Pro won the King Rick Rack Stakes, and then This Is A Deal Too completed the double, win- ning the $50,000 Lovington Stakes-G2 by a nose.
This Is A Deal Too led from wire-to-wire, break- ing on top from the 4-post, leading by a head at the first call, maintaining that separation entering the stretch, and out-nodding Badhabit Jess by a nose
at the line. The gelding made his 400-yard trip in :19.535, registering a 98 speed index.
Home-bred by Pete Scarmardo, This Is A Deal Too has compiled quite the bankroll. This marked his 17th out and seventh win, with the $28,800 payday pushing his cumulative earnings to $255,002.
This is the second straight year that This Is a Deal Too won the Lovington Stakes. The sophomore gelding holds five additional in-the-money finishes in stakes races.
Scarmado bred This Is A Deal Too out of winner Lady Lilia. She has produced 100% money earners from eight starters. Sam Houston Futurity-G2 win- ner This Is An Eagle is her top money earner.
Badhabit Jess (Mr Jess Perry-Sheza Bad Habit) placed second under Raul Herrera for owner La Feliz Montana Ranch, LLC and trainer Jose Meraz.
Jacky Martin 21 (FDD Dynasty-Fleeting Touch) was third under Alonso Rivera for owner 21 Partnership and trainer Gregory Gonzalez.
