Leo Beau Dash
ALL NIGHT ROC
Aby John Moorehouse
ll Night Roc scored his first stakes victory on
July 16 at Arapahoe Park, prevailing in the $17,850 Leo Beau Dash Stakes.
After an unsuccessful bid to make the Heritage Place Derby, All Night Roc went into this race as the strong favorite at less than even-money odds and looked sharp. He broke on top from the 3-hole, led by a 1/2-length at the first call, and maintained that advantage at every other juncture. Joseph Belloc
Jr. was aboard for the 400-yard trip, completed in :19.877 for a 101 speed index.
All Night Roc has been quite consistent thus far, hitting the board in all seven starts to date in his career. The three-year-old gelding notched his fifth career win, and the $10,710 first-place share of the purse increased his overall earnings to $86,135.
Dean Frey trains All Night Roc and co-owns him with Harvey Case. The sophomore gelding showed signs of breaking through at the end of his rookie season, finishing third in the Dash For Cash Futurity-G2 last October at Lone Star. Frey also bred All Night Roc out of Girls Eye Too, a lightly-raced 2005 mare who is a half-sister to Docs Best Card, who hit the board in multiple graded stakes.
La Panama West (Panama Wes-JM The Dance) made a strong run for second place for Roberto Baeza, her third in-the-money finish in a stakes race this year. She is trained by Candelario Villamar and had Aaron Belloc aboard.
Kali K (One Fabulous Eagle-A Secret Episode), who holds two stakes wins at Arapahoe, finished third in this one for Luis Marquez. The Alexander Orozco trainee had Valiente Vorrath in the irons.
The remaining order of finish was Jess Un Seis Mas (Apollitical Jess-Seis Star Glitter), Kickin Good Time (Jess Good Candy-Kickin Escalation), and Our Secret Habit (Hez Our Secret-Corona Habit). Xcelente scratched.

A TRES OF EAGLE
Aby Tracy Gantz
Tres Of Eagle, a multiple graded winner at
Remington Park, appealed to bettors in the July 22 Bank of America Arapahoe Championship Challenge so much that he went off as the 1-5 favorite. The bettors had it right, as A Tres Of Eagle won the race.
Arapahoe-based Indeed vied with A Tres Of Eagle at the beginning of the 440 yards. But when jockey Ruben Castro asked A Tres Of Eagle, the 4-year-old gelding responded to score wire-to-wire by a length in :21.726.
Eddie L. Willis trains A Tres Of Eagle for Bella Vista Farms. A Tres Of Eagle earlier this year at Remington won the Dee Raper Sooner State Stakes-RG1 and Mr Jet Moore Stakes-RG2.
The Mixer Ranch bred A Tres Of Eagle in Oklahoma from homebred graded stakes winner A Tres Of Paint. The mare has produced six winners from nine starters, including top earner AJs Tres Of Paint, who finished third in the 2021 Heritage Place Futurity-G1 and 2022 Mr Master Bug Stakes-RG3. A Tres Of Eagle is her second stakes winner.
Indeed (Wagon Tales-Dancing Iam) finished second for jockey Manuel Meza. Jose Chavez trains the 5-year-old gelding for owner Jose Castaneda. Indeed won the 2022 Rocky Mountain Championship Stakes and has placed in four other stakes.
Ubaldo Luna piloted Just Call Me Jess (One Sweet Jess-Justified) to third for trainer Bradley Bolen and owner Debra Gotovac. Just Call Me Jess has won four previous races.
Completing the field were DF Storm Tales (Wagon Tales-Storm’s Promise-TB), Paint Your Face Blue (Jess Louisiana Blue-Paint Your Face), Jess No Secrets (No Secrets Here-Jess Breeze), No Torious (American Runaway-Coronas Concerto), and Impressive Brook (Runaway Brooks Bay- Pretty Fine Tewa).
Grants Pass Firecracker Futurity
FIVE BAR SUPREME
Fby Tracy Gantz
ive Bar Supreme may have found his niche in
Oregon. The California-bred began his career at Los Alamitos with a win and a fifth, but at Grants Pass he aced his trial for the Grants Pass Firecracker Futurity and then won the July 4 final.
With his trial producing the fastest-qualifying time, Five Bar Supreme went off as the 8-5 favorite in the final. Ridden by Guillermo Suarez, the gelding dueled with Da Bros Cartel for the lead, outfinishing that rival by 1/2-length in :17.403 for 350 yards.
Roberto Herrera took over the training of Five Bar Supreme when the gelding came to Grants
Pass. Jorge Carmona owns Five Bar Supreme, who was bred by Ugo De La Torre from multiple graded stakes-placed Luv Supreme, who has produced three winners from four starters. Five Bar Supreme’s second dam is 2004 Rainbow Futurity-G1
winner Thewayouwantmetoo, who is the dam of Champion A Revenant and stakes winner Famous Shining Star.
Jacobo Enrique-Navarro piloted Da Bros Cartel (Carters Cartel-Glitteratti) to second for trainer Jose Rosales Gomez and owner Edwin Rosales. Da Bros Cartel qualified the second fastest in winning his trial and finished second in the Pocatello Downs Spring Futurity.
Jr (BP Wagon Train-Chicks Wildcat), owned by Juan Jesus Cabrera Rodriguez, trained by Juan Romo Jr., and ridden by Cruz Contreras, finished third. The colt had won one of three previous races.
Completing the field were Littlerockinrunaway (Duponte-Three Twenty), Peregrino AF (Separatist- Misterious Lady), L Bar D Darlyn (Power Jam- TB-L Bar D Dixon Delite), No Sedona (Seperate Interest-No Arizona), Sorelli Lights (The Marfa Lights-Sorelli), and The Midnight Sky (One For The Brothers-Chick N Dales Pride). Corona B Mine was scratched.
