EYESA TIMBER
by Michael Compton
In his young career, Eyesa Timber has made it clear that he has the raw materials to become a top-class
racehorse for owner/breeder/trainer Wesley Oulton. As the fastest quali- fier on Sept. 11, and the odds-on favorite in the $44,956 Alberta Bred Futurity, Eyesa Timber rolled to an impressive victory in the 350-yard event at Century Mile on Sept. 25.
With jockey Jose Rocha aboard, Eyesa Timber dueled for the early lead and drove clear in the stretch. By the time he crossed the finish, the brown gelding had a 1/2-length on runner-up Halos Sign and jockey J.B. Botello. Bigtime Knockout and Martin Ortiz showed the way early,
but faded to third when he was out- kicked in the late stages.
In capturing the initial stakes race of his career, Eyesa Timber stopped the timer in a lively :17.704 and earned a 105 speed index. The win improved his record to 6-3(1)- 2-0 and he now has earnings of more than $35,000.
A finalist in the MQHRA Stallion Auction Futurity at Canterbury Park in July, Eyesa Timber is out of winner Eyesa Perry. She has produced 100% money earners from four starters.
Halos Sign (Wagon Tales-Hawks Halo), a winner of her trial heat, finished a game second for owner
Donalda Cochrane and trainer Allen Goodsell. It was the second stakes-placing for the filly.
Bigtime Knockout (Teller Im Bigtime-Royal Knockout) held third for owner/breeder Glenn Wills and trainer Buckey Stockwell.
Flying Feelin (Special Fly Bye- Feelin the Fever), Royale Runaway (First Timber-Sparkling Hy),
Bright Foo Fighter (Gone to the Mountain-DJ Bright Sweetheart), Jess Be First (First Timber-Ima Jess a Streaker), Jagnestimber (First Timber- Golded Gold), and Bound too Be First (First Timber-Snowbound Star Lady) completed the order of finish. Spicy Chile was scratched.
