ONE INCREDIBLE HOCK
by Danny Camp
Nestor Duran has ridden One Incredible Hock twice and won both times. His first was in the Aug. 14 trial where they set the fast-
est mark, and his latest came in the $221,160 TQHA Sires Cup Futurity-RG3 finals.
Owned by Hernan and Maria Gama Medrano, the colt broke well from the 2-post and quickly moved to the front. They contin- ued to hold the lead throughout the 350 yards, crossing the finish line 3/4-length in front.
Trained by Adrian Huitron, One Incredible Hock stopped the clock in :17.679, which was good for a 95 speed index, and col- lected the $88,464 winner’s share of the purse.
His total lifetime earn- ings are now $119,976
and he has a race record of 5-3(1)-0-0. He was a final- ist in the Remington Park Oklahoma Bred Futurity-G1 earlier this year.
Monty McNair bred One Incredible Hock out of winner Enticilizeur, who was
a finalist in the Texas Classic Futurity-G1. She has produced 100% money earners from seven starters. One Incredible Hock is her first stakes winner.
“This colt was a $15,000 Heritage Place purchase,” said trainer Adrian Huitron.
“He was not comfortable running under the lights. We had to do a lot of work in that area,
but it’s paying off. He has always been a handful with anything we do to him. He pulled up fine after the futu- rity; we will go over him this week. If he’s 100 percent, we are looking at the Dash For Cash Futurity. If we have any doubts, we will wait for the Evangeline in Louisiana.”
D Cosmic Cartel (The Louisiana Cartel-Special Love Shack) finished in second under Juan Garcia for
