Remember Me Rose earned points as the 2019 leading dam of stakes winners and the second-leading dam of 2019 money-earners. With a total sum of $1,060,719, she joined Fetching Image as the only two dams of money- earners to reach seven figures in 2019.
Eight of Remember Me Rose’s offspring made starts in 2019. The top earner of the group was Runforyourlife si 92, who captured $583,153
in nine starts. The two-year-old Favorite Cartel gelding is owned by Rosenthal Ranch LLC and trained by Christopher O’Dell. Runforyourlife tallied five wins in 2019—with the highlight
being a victory in the Golden State Million Futurity-G1 at Los Alamitos, where he has logged each of his starts thus far in his career. Prior to that, Runforyourlife placed second in the Governor’s Cup Futurity-G2. He also was a finalist in the Los Alamitos 2 Million Futurity-G1.
Powerful Favorite si 98, who also is sired
by Favorite Cartel, led the brood in victories and stakes wins last year. Christopher O’Dell trains the gelding, who kicked off 2019 by winning his trial for the Los Alamitos Winter Derby and made trips to the winner’s circle a habit—kicking off a seven-race win streak for his owners at Rosenthal Ranch LLC. During his win streak, Powerful Favorite scored a trio of graded stakes wins in 2019: the Los Alamitos Winter Derby-G1, the El Primero Del Ano Derby-G3, and the Governor’s Cup Derby- RG3. The win streak ended with a second-place
run in his eighth and final start of 2019, the Los Alamitos Super Derby-G1. These victories propelled Powerful Favorite to a $436,715 bankroll last year.
Favorite Cartel sired half of Remember Me Rose’s eight starters in 2019, with the other four by Walk Thru Fire.
Other 2019 starters produced by Remember Me Rose included Intense Fire si 97 (by
Walk Thru Fire), a 2018 stakes winner who
was a finalist in the 2019 Remington Park Championship Challenge-G2; Remember The Rose si 95 (by Walk Thru Fire), who logged one victory in five starts and was a finalist
in the 2019 California Breeders’ Sprint
Stakes; Forgot The Rose si 98 (by Favorite Cartel), a 2-time winner in 2019; The
Revenant si 93 (by Favorite Cartel), a
multiple Graded stakes placed winner who was also fifth in the 2019 California Breeders’ Sprint Stakes; Monster Hand si 91 (by Walk Thru Fire); and Allyson Felix si 97 (by Walk Thru Fire).
Remember Me Rose herself had an impressive career as a competitor, scoring nine wins in 18 starts with an $820,895 bankroll. That includes three stakes wins: the 2007 Ruidoso Derby-G1, the 2007 Sunland Park Winter Futurity-G2, and the 2006 AQHA Juvenile Challenge Championship-G2.
After reaching the million-dollar milestone in 2019, more lucrative years likely lie ahead for Remember Me Rose’s offspring and their respective connections.
