Dash For Cash Futurity

Last night, October 9th, was the finals for the Dash For Cash Futurity at Lone Star Park. In the finals we had Unashamed, owned by Melvin and Marty Neugebauer, who won his trial back on September 25th qualifying 10th fastest.

We were unlucky at the draw, drawing the 10 hole again which is the deepest part of that track. We knew we had a good horse, a horse that could do it, although they had him at 30-1 odds and picked to run last. But we also knew that we were in real tough especially with a lot of those tough horses on the inside. We would have to be on top coming out, with no mistakes running down through there, and real fast to be able to beat the inside field.

When the race started, Unashamed got out a little tardy but quickly overcame that and ran an exceptional race giving it a solid effort especially for being in the deepest part of the track. He ended up running 4th still driving at the finish and wanting more, getting beat just 3/4 of a length overall. The top 3 finishers came out of the 4, 3 and 7 holes.

We were very pleased with the way Unashamed run and look forward to the next time we get to see what this horse can do. Congratulations to Melvin and Marty and all the connections!
