by Michael Cusortelli
Ms Esther earned her second graded stakes victory of the meet in the $40,299 AQHA Remington Park Distance Challenge-G3 on May 12.
Owned and trained by Jordan Baumann, Ms Esther covered 870 yards in :44.763 and posted a
104 speed index under jockey Andrew Samaniego. Her winning margin was a neck over Madewell. The Oklahoma-bred mare banked the $19,344 winner’s share of the purse and landed a berth in the $100,000 AQHA Distance Challenge Championship-G1 at Albuquerque Downs on Oct. 26.
Ms Esther has now won six of 10 starts and has earned $99,426. Her five wins from seven outs at the 870-yard distance include a head victory in the $50,000 Pauls Valley Stakes-G2 on April 4.
“She sure likes 870,” said Baumann. “I really didn’t know she would be this good. I just knew it would be fun running her at a distance, and that we would find a place for her that fit that.”
Ms Esther was bred by Duwyne and Janice Pfeifle out of winner Tres Down The Cash. The mare has produced 100% money earners from three starters, including stakes winner RKM Primed For Cash. Ms Esther is her second stakes winner and top money earner.
