FIVE BARS HAPPY
by Michael Cusortelli
Five Bars Happy, a daughter of the Corona Cartel stallion Five Bar Cartel owned and trained by Adrian Zavala, was a prompt 4-5
favorite in the $22,000 Elko Intermountain Futurity at the Elko County Fair meet in Nevada on Sept. 6.
Ridden by Julian Zavala, Five Bars Happy went 350 yards in :17.750, and her win-
ning margin was a short nose from 7-1 third choice DP Sassy, who was clocked in :17.757.
The Oklahoma-bred sor- rel filly earned the $8,800 winner’s share of the purse from her first stakes victory.
Five Bars Happy posted the fastest qualifying time to the Elko Intermountain Futurity, as she made her local debut with a 1-length win on Aug. 27. A $13,000 purchase by Zavala at this year’s Heritage Place Winter Mixed Sale, the filly was bred by Glacia Fagan.
Five Bars Happy is out of winner JM Onfire, who finished third in the 2015 Ruidoso Derby-G1.
The filly’s second dam, winner Special Copauino, produced Special Anywhere, a half-sister to JM Onfire who foaled three stakes winners, including Grade 3 win- ner Special Gold. Special Copauino also produced Hot Cappucino, a full sister
to JM Onfire who ran third in the 2013 Kindergarten Futurity-G2 at
Los Alamitos.
Five Bars Happy traces
back to her third dam, Copauino, a winning daughter of Beduino TB and a finalist in the 1991 La Primera del Ano Derby-G1. Copauino foaled Worth A Look, a half-sister to Special Copauino who won two graded stakes in California from 1999-2000 in the 1999 PCQHRA Breeders’
