LAFISHINGONABUGSMOON
by Luis Prieto Zamudio, translation by Eduardo Silveyra
Twelve Mexican bred three years and older registered for the $172,400 pesos (approxi- mately $9,656 US) Salvador Onate Classico. Previously, the 350-yard race had runners with outstanding records: RD Native, One Sweet Ferrari, Ferdy Ruby, Game Sambaso, among others. And now Lafishingonabugsmoon.
RD Native (#4) and Ferdy Ruby (#6) boxed in One Sweet Ferrari (#5) after the start. The ending result began to be defined quickly
when the grey gelding Lafishingonabugsmoon (#9) broke away from the group and firmly assumed the lead well supported by rider
José Ángel Ambrosio Medina. RD Native advanced down the center of the track, but soon surrendered to Lafishingonabugsmoon. The red bay Patas Blancas Dancer (#12) rushed on the outside and reached second just behind Lafishingonabugsmoon, leaving RD Native in third. Lafishingonabugsmoon crossed the wire first in :17.26 and earned a 97 speed index.
After a stewards review, RD Native was disqualified to fourth place and Ferdy Ruby from fourth to fifth. Third place was awarded to the sorrel One Sweet Ferrari.
Lafishingonabugsmoon (Nofishinonafullmoon-A Special Lady Bug, My
Mr Special Bug) was
bred in Reynosa, State of Tamaulipas, by Ramiro González Ozuna. The gelding was credited with his fifth victory from
20 starts, this being the
second stakes race in his
record. On March 26,
Lafishingonabugsmoon
also won the Enrique
Carrión Álvarez Classico.
The gelding was awarded
the $103,440 pesos (approximately $5,793 US) winner’s share. The four-year-old is owned by Cuadra Los Gavilanes, where he is trained by Rubén Romo García.
Honoree Salvador Oñate was represented by veterinarian Jorge Luis Lemus at the awards ceremony.
Patas Blancas Dancer (Ze Dancer-Gotcha Snowed) was second under Moisés Molina. The
red bay gelding is owned by Rancho Humilde and trained by Ramón Guerrero
Trejo. Felix Bañuelos is the breeder.
One Sweet Ferrari (Ferrari Carano-One Sweet Check) finished third well assisted by Jorge Rugerio for Cuadra Morán, trainer Víctor Hugo Ramírez Moreno and breeder Jiménez Jiménez Hnos.
After the disqualifications were made, the other positions were as follows: RD Native (Native Cartel–Red Gucci Shoes), Ferdy Ruby (Tres
Ruby–Super Fer TB), Game Sambaso (Sambaso Dancer–The Answer Lady), Fearless Jessie (Fearless Fritz–Cash For Jessie), Jet Sambaso (Sambaso Dancer–Jet Settin Jessie), Chicky Perry (Xplorador–Turn Down Delights), Ojo De Cash (Walk Thru Fire Jess–Ojo De Santo), Lady Proforma (Sambaso Dancer–Proforma) and Separate Snow Moon (Snow On The Moon–Cachita Six).
