Today the trials for the 2010 Rainbow Futurity were held at Ruidoso Downs. It was a long day with the first of 18 trials off at 12:03 p.m. and the last off at 7:17 p.m. All 10 horses we had entered in the trials ran great with each of them lighting the board. We were really pleased with how all of them ran. From 10 starts today, we had 2 first place finishes, 4 seconds, 3 thirds, and 1 fourth. Like I said, every horse lit the board. This while running against a lot of tough competition.
The Rainbow Futurity is such a tough race to qualify for with all the great horses competing for 1 of only 10 spots (which were filled with horses from just 6 of the 18 trials), not to mention the ever changing weather and/or wind in Ruidoso during the entire 18 mostly full horse fields. Unfortunetly, although we had an outstanding day, we just missed qualifing for the finals. However, we did qualify 5 of the 10 for the Juvenille.
Goose Perry, owned by Dennis Jensen, won the 8th trial by a 1/2 length in a time of 19.704 qualifying 2nd fastest for the Juvenille. First Valentine, owned by David and Ross Hinkins, ran 3rd in the 15th trial in a time of 19.745 qualifying 5th fastest. Brookstone Flash, owned by Jay and Mary Lou Standefer, ran 2nd in the 4th trial in a time of 19.755 qualifying 6th fastest. Arizona Hottie, owned by Melvin and Mary Neugebauer, won the 9th trial by 1 lengh in a time of 19.781 qualifying 8th fastest. And Miss Dash Ta Dial, owned by Robert H. Williams, dead heated for 3rd in the 5th trial qualifying 10th fastest for the Juvenille.
Congratulations to all the owners who had horses that ran today. Your horses really did run great and we are extremely happy. And Congratulations to all the connnections of the qualifiers for the Juvenille. Just look at the competition that you outrun. Good luck in the finals! And good luck to those that have horses running in the Rainbow Derby trials tomorrow.
