Eight qualifiers lined up for the running of the $16,919 Grand Prairie Sales Stakes Futurity at
Evergreen Park on Aug. 21.
Sixth fastest qualifier Obsessed Bug hopped away from the 1-post and got the first call. She held her
lead position throughout the contest. Jockey Corrine Andros sat quiet and by mid way they were a head in front.
They crossed the line a 1/2-length to the good, completing the 300 yards in :16.259 for a wire-to-wire victory.
Trained by William Leech, the daughter of Obsessed With Corona also earned the first place check worth $7,613, which puts her total bankroll at $19,291, and her race
record is two wins out of four races for owner Travis Reay.
Obsessed Bug finished third in her Aug. 7 trial to the Grande Prairie Sale Stakes.
Prior to this event, the bay filly was the second-place finisher in
the Alberta Stallion Stakes Futurity after stumbling at the start of that race. She won her trial to the Alberta Stallion Stakes Futurity in her first out with a wire-to-wire performance.
Ralph Danard bred Obsessed Bug in Canada out of stakes placed Paulina Bug. She has produced 100% winners from five starters, including top earner and stakes win- ner Kool Shazoom.
Destello De Luna (Lethal N First-A Mere Toast) finished second under Ricardo Moreno for owners Jane Leech and Haley Moreno and trainer William Leech. Fastest qualifier RM Risky Business (Cowboy 109-Miss Invictus Eh) captured third place under Larris Allen for owner WT Ranch and trainer Buckey Stockwell.
First Authority (First Timber- Sparkling Hy), Timbers Moon (First Timber-Wakeup Miss Moon), Top Shelf 109 (Special Fly Bye-See Me Do It Too), Private Cruise (BD Cruiser- Eyesa Screamer) and Obsessive Gambler (Obsessed With Corona- Snake Eyed Gal) completed the order of finish.
