Miss Ellen Stakes
ROYAL CASH FLASH
by Tracy Gantz
Oklahoma and Minnesota have played major roles in Royal Cash Flash’s career and pedi- gree. Bred in Oklahoma, the 3-year-old filly and her
dam, Seis The Royal Cash, have both won stakes in Minnesota. Royal Cash Flash returned to her native state to capture the $19,500 Miss Ellen Stakes at Will Rogers Downs on Oct. 17.
With Jorge Torres in the irons for trainer Clinton Crawford in the 350-yard Miss Ellen Stakes, Royal Cash Flash jumped out to the lead right from the gate and never gave it up. She scored by a 1/2-length in :17.665, posting a 94 speed index.
The Miss Ellen Stakes was Royal Cash Flash’s second stakes victory, following the 2019 Gopher State Futurity at Canterbury Park in Minnesota.
Brenda Reiswig bred and owns Royal Cash
Flash and also raced Seis The Royal Cash, who
won the 2013 North Central QHRA Futurity at Canterbury Park. Seis The Royal Cash has produced four winners from six starters, including Shadi Lady, who finished third in this year’s Valley Junction Futurity-G3. Reiswig also bred and races Shadi Lady, and Crawford trains that 2-year-old filly.
Saratoga Return (High Rate Of Return-Johns Party Girl), owned by Marili Mendez and the odds- on favorite, finished second. Juan Pulido rode the 4-year-old filly for trainer Fidencio Jimenez. Saratoga Return won the 2018 FL Lady Bug Stakes-Div. 2.
Cody Wainscott piloted Olena Sangria (Dashair-Mt Rob This Corona) to third for owner Rafael Haros and trainer Juliana Mancillas. Olena Sangria also ran third in the 2017 Will Rogers Juvenile Challenge.
Completing the field were Jazzin Okey (Okey Dokey Dale-Ms Hollywood Hi), Peves Eagleetta (Hes Relentless-PYC Eye Candy), Ima Special Reb (Rebs Royal Dasher-Angelina Special), and Sizzling Fajita (Apollitical Jess-Anita Fajita).

by Danny Camp
Eyesa Timber has won his last three races in a row, with his latest victory coming in the $46,165 Canada Cup Futurity at Century Mile on Oct. 25.
Ridden by J. Botello, Eyesa Timber stepped away from the 3-post on top. The pair continued in the lead throughout the sprint and were 3-lengths to the good at the top of the stretch. They won convinc- ingly by 1 3/4-lengths, completing the 400 yards in :20.251 while posting a 97 speed index.
Eyesa Timber secured the $21,416 winner’s share of the purse, which boosted his total cumulative earnings to $56,491. The gelding now has a race record of 7-4(2)-2-0 with his other stakes victory being in the Alberta Bred Futurity last month.
Breeder/owner/trainer Wesley T. Oulton bred Eyesa Timber out of winner Eyesa Perry, a half-sister to El Primero Del Ano Derby-G2 runner-up Kite Flyin. Eyesa Perry has produced 100% money earners from four starters. Eyesa Timber is her first stakes winner.
Stablemate Jess Be First (First Timber-Ima Jess
A Streaker) ran a steady and even race with Neville Stephenson in the saddle, finishing in second for owners Ralph Wilber and Dwaine Ferguson and trainer Wesley Oulton. The gelding finished third in the Alberta Stallion Stakes Futurity in August.
Ulnvme To (First Timber-Ulnvme) and jockey O. Hernandez drifted to the outside rail and took the scenic route down the track, but was still able to capture third place.
