sharp break from post 5 helped Bennett
Racing Stables’ One Coldhearted Diva score a wire-to-wire victory in the $27,430 Q-Racing Video Indianapolis Distaff Challenge at Horseshoe Indianapolison Sept. 22.
Prepped by Jessica Vazquez and ridden by Giovani Vazquez-Gomez, One Coldhearted Diva covered 400 yards in :19.983 while aided by a 14-mph tail wind, and her margin of victory was a neck over her rival. The homebred 4-year-old daughter of One Fabulous Eagle landed a berth in the $100,000 Q-Racing Video Distaff Challenge Championship-G1 on Oct. 22.
One Coldhearted Diva was bred in Indiana by Dianne Bennett, the longtime executive director of the Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana. The mare is out of winner Whata Chilled Cat. One Coldhearted Diva was coming off of a 7th-place finish in the Bob Woodward Memorial Classic on Sept. 3.
“Her name says it all,” said Jessi Vazquez of One Coldhearted Diva. “You never know what horse is going to show up. Sometimes she breaks well and then doesn’t finish well, and sometimes she doesn’t break and then finishes well. You just never know what to expect, but the right horse showed up today.”
One Coldhearted Diva has won three of 21 races, and the $15,634 winner’s share of the purse from her first stakes victory pushed her bankroll to $91,211.
Jess Gimme A Kiss (Kiss My Hocks-Perrys Dreamgirl) was 2nd for owner/trainer Mario Rodriguez Jr. Isidro Banuelos rode the 4-year-old filly. Whiting Ranch’s Dugan Chapel Baby (Hes Relentless-Pyc Pick Your Pocket) ran third under James Flores for trainer H. Allen Hybsha.

Tby Michael Compton
hree-year-old filly Fabulous Rachel has only
made three lifetime starts, but the promising daughter of One Fabulous Eagle is now a stakes winner after winning the $99,150 Gillespie County Fair Derby on Aug. 28 in her stakes debut.
Ridden by Victor Urieta Jr., Fabulous Rachel broke near the back of the pack in the 350-yard fixture but quickly found her best stride and darted to the lead. Once she hit the front, the sorrel filly maintained a clear lead through the lane and won by 3/4-lengths at the finish, defeating Coronas Candy Man in a final time of :17.521. The winner’s final clocking earned a 101 speed index.
Owned by Darling Farms, Fabulous Rachel
did not race at two. She made her career debut
a winning one at Remington Park in May and followed that with a runner-up effort in her trial on Aug. 14.
The $34,703 winner’s share of the Gillespie County Fair Derby purse increased her bankroll to $47,933. Trainer Juan Diaz Jr. saddled the winner and the runner-up.
Fabulous Rachel was bred in Oklahoma by
Juan Medina, and she is out of the Teller Cartel mare Teller Baja, who won six races from 10 starts, including the Remington Park Oklahoma Bred Futurity-RG2. The mare was also a third place runner in the All American Juvenile Invitational and a finalist in the Rainbow Derby-G1. Teller
Baja has produced four winners from five starters, including top earner Teller Ima Eagle, winner of the Speedhorse Futurity-G3 and Oklahoma Juvenile. Fabulous Rachel is her second stakes winner.
Runner-up Coronas Candy Man (Jess Good Candy-Follies And Corona), piloted by Jose Herbert, is owned by Florentino Leon. The two- time winner was bred in Iowa by Robert and Sandra Brown and was a $35,000 graduate of the 2020 Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale.
