Jockey Cesar DeAlba after the victory
That keeps Hoburg busy mailing pack-
ages to Caldwell because the Challenge Championship was BH Lisas Boy’s 20th victory.
In addition to BH Lisas Boy, Apollo Snowbound has produced four other starters, all winners, including stakes winner Yin Your Eyes and stakes-placed BH Country Chrome. Hoburg pulled four embryos out of Apollo Snowbound this year and is looking forward to having more good runners tracing back to Stars Apollo.
Until then, BH Lisas Boy could add several more victories to his record, with Hoburg particularly looking forward to the Champion of Champions.
Eduardo Nicasio rode Katies Easy Moves (Maknmoves-Katie Lane Finder) to second. Monty Arrossa trains the 5-year-old geld- ing for owner O-So Smart LLC. Katies Easy Moves captured the 2015 Bitterroot Juvenile
Consolation, 2016 Western States Breeders Derby, and 2017 First Down Dash Handicap.
Dean Frey’s homebred Kowboy Jim (FDD Dynasty-Counting On You) ran third for jockey Cody Jensen and trainer Jason Olmstead. The 4-year-old gelding won the 2017 Canterbury Park Derby and 2018 Bank of America Canterbury Park Championship Challenge.
