KISS THRU FIRE
by Tracy Gantz
By Robert Kirk Gentry’s estimation, Gentry Farms has had Kiss Thru Fire’s family for half a century and about seven generations. The family continues
to produce runners, as Kiss Thru Fire scored in the $40,000 California Breeders Matron Stakes-RG3 at Los Alamitos on July 31.
Ridden by Raul Valenzuela, Kiss Thru Fire battled with Fayvorite Chick throughout the 400 yards. Kiss Thru Fire maintained the lead the entire way, however, scoring by a 1/2-length in :19.924.
Kiss Thru Fire has won this year’s Charger Bar Handicap-G1 and Denim N Diamonds Handicap-G3. Juan Aleman trains Kiss Thru Fire for Gentry, who said he remembers attending the races at Los Alamitos as a child with his father.
Gentry Farms bred Kiss Thru Fire out of homebred Fredaville, the Champion Aged Mare of 2012 and a seven-time stakes winner. A full sister to Champion Fredricksburg, Fredaville has produced five winners from six starters, including Mexico stakes winner Beer Wagon.
Martha Wells’ homebred Fayvorite Chick (Favorite Cartel-Chicks Tell) finished second. Ruben Lozano rode the 4-year-old filly for trainer Matthew Fales. Fayvorite Chick ran second in the 2021 Miss Princess Handicap-G2, 2021 Cypress Handicap, 2021 New Moon Stakes, and 2020 Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap. Max My Bullets (Corona Czech-Gimme Back Mybullets), a homebred for EG High Desert Farms, ran third under jockey Alberto Zepeda. Ricardo Guillen now trains the 4-year-old filly, who for previous trainers won two of 15 prior starts.
