“She’s pretty nice and gentle around the barn.” Bobby Cox bred Ezee Monee in Oklahoma from the Corona Cartel mare Cartel Regards. Cox
consigned Ezee Monee, who is by One Fabulous Eagle, to the 2021 Heritage Place Yearling Sale, where David Rogers bought her for $40,000.
Cartel Regards has produced seven winners from nine starters, including Apollitical Regard, winner of the 2017 Jaguar Rocket Futurity; Extermynator, winner of the 2022 Heartland Futurity and Horseshoe Indianapolis Juvenile Challenge; and Flyght
Song, who finished second in the 2022 Speedhorse Futurity-G3 and third in the 2023 Speedhorse Derby. The second dam is Champion First Regards, who also produced three stakes-placed runners.
Gentry Farms’ homebred Fearless Moon (First Moonflash-Heartbeat) ran second for jockey Sergio Becerra Jr. and trainer John Stinebaugh. The filly earlier this year ran third to Ezee Money in the Rainbow Oaks.
Cartel Kisses (Kiss My Hocks-Midnight Cartel), owned by Larry and Bobbie Rice,
finished third. Rodrigo Vallejo rode the filly for trainer Heath Taylor. Cartel Kisses won this year’s Los Alamitos Oaks-G1 and two stakes last year.
Completing the field were Jes An Angel (Jess Zoomin-Ms Kates Angel), One Perfect Lady (Bogart-The Perfect Eagle), Curls Joyful Wagon (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Eye A Spit Curl Girl), Streaks Of Power (Power Jam- TB-Streaks Of Ivory), Cool Ya Jets (Jet Black Patriot-McM On Thin Ice), Political Royalty (Apollitical Jess-Trendi), and Apollitical Chick V (Apollitical Jess-Me Chickie).
