On Thursday, June 22nd was the trials for the John Deere New Mexico Juvenille Challenge at Ruidoso Downs. We had 2 horses that both ran great in the trials and 1 that we scratched. Sheza Fast Cartel B, owned by Jill Giles, Dennis Jensen and Melvine Neugebauer, won the 1st trial by a neck. Unfortunately, there was a 15 mph cross wind that race and the time was not fast enough to qualify for the finals. Ms Runaway Miracle, owned by Jack Norris, won the the 6th trial by a nose in a time of 17.622 which was the 13th fastest time of the day just missing qualifying for the finals by 4 hundredths of second.
Both horses ran great, there is not much you can complain about except that we just needed to be a tiny bit faster. The tiniest mistake, change in the track condition, weather, and wind make a difference in qualifying and not qualifying. That's just the bad luck.
Congratulations to the connections of both of these horses on running impressive races and winning their trials!
