Upcoming 2 Year Olds
We are so pleased with how all of the upcoming 2 year olds are progressing that I decided to take some videos of some of them today. If yours is not one of them, keep checking back as I will try to keep updating with different horses every few days.
This week we have Down Perry Lane owned by Hugo Villar, Smokin Hot Chickie owned by Marjorie Hatfield, Cassius owned by Blair Anaton, and Destined To Be Wild and Jockey James both owned by Melvin Neugebauer, Johnny Lee and myself. I hope you enjoy it and if you don't know by now you will soon find out that I'm a little shaky.

New Mexico Classic Cup Day
Yesterday, October 31st, was New Mexico Classic Cup Day at Zia Park in Hobbs, NM. It wasn't quite the day we had hoped for but it really wasn't that bad of a day especially considering all the races had a lot of great horses in them.
In the New Mexico Classic Cup Stakes going 870 yards we had Famous Uncledavid, owned by MJ Farms. After his gate popped open before the start and then standing in the gates for a long time waiting for another horse to get settled, he got out slow and then was bumped. He trailed the field around the turn but quickly gained ground on the stretch closing well and finished 3rd.
In the Nameshaker New Mexico Classic Stakes going 440 yards, we had Miracle Snow, owned by Melvin and Mary Neugebauer. He ran a solid race against good horses and finished 4th.
In the New Mexico Classic Derby going 440 yards, we had Here Kittykittykitty, owned by Jay and Mary Lou Standefer. He ran a great race and finished 2nd getting beat by only a neck.
And in the New Mexico Classic Futurity going 400 yards, we had RGR Lyon A Tac, owned by David and Ross Hinkins, who looked impressive and finished 2nd, High Five Lane, owned by Kip Watterson, who ran good and finished 5th, and then Brookstone Flash, owned by Jay and Mary Lou Standefer, who got into to some trouble right off the start hesitating and finished behind the field.
We wish we could have gotten our picture taken, but it was still a fairly good day. On to the next race. Congratulations to all!

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!

Dash For Cash Futurity Trials
Last night, September 25th, were the trials for the Dash For Cash Futurity held at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas. There were 150 horses that ran in the 16 trials competing for only 10 spots in the finals. We went there with 2 horses.
Unashamed, owned by Melvin and Marty Neugebauer, was in the 10th trial in the 10 hole (supposedly the deepest part of the track). He got off a little slow overcoming it quickly with a powerful finish to win the race by a neck in a time of 19.713 for the 400 yards. His time was the 7th fastest in the first 10 trials. We would have to wait 6 more trials to find out if his time would be good enough to make it back for the finals.
Tres Veses, owned by Lee and Sherwood Partnership, was our second and last shot. She was in the 14th trial in the 8 hole. She unfortunately hopped at the start getting off slow but improved quickly finishing 5th. Dang it, just wasn't her day.
With the 11th and 14th trials posting 3 faster times then Unashamed, we would have to wait and watch the 2 remaining trials while sitting on the bubble in the number 10 spot. This has been familiar territory for us. We have been in this position before. A few times just this year. It's not a fun position to be in and it seems like it's always that last trial that pushes you out and all you can think is "we were so close". While Jason and I watched the last 2 trials on TV, Jill was waiting for a text with the news, and Wes couldn't bear to watch so instead he stayed back at the barn tending to the horses. And we can only imagine what the Neugebauer's must have been feeling at that moment just sitting, watching, and waiting for the outcome.
The last 2 trials ran and this time they were in our favor. They were slower and we are in. Yes!!! Unashamed has qualified for the Dash For Cash Futurity-G1 with a purse of $514,650. The finals will run back on October 9th.

All American Trials 2010
The trials for the All American Futurity were held on Thursday, August 19th at Ruidoso Downs. We had 10 horses entered in the 20 trials. We drew trials 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 15, 18, and 20. And this is how it went with the wind. Trials 1 through 12 had anywhere between a 4 to 10 mph head wind. The wind decided to switch directions during trial 13 to a 3 mph tail wind, there was no wind during trials 14 and 15, trial 16 there was a 3 mph head wind, trial 17 there was a 5 mph head wind, trial 18 had no wind, trial 19 there was a 4 mph head wind, and a slight head wind in trial 20.
Our horses ran really good for the most part. We had 3 second place finishes with Arizona Hottie, owned by Melvin and Mary Neugebauer, in trial 3, with Brookstone Flash, owned by Jay and Mary Lou Standefer, in trial 4, and with Goose Perry, owned by Dennis Jensen, in trial 15. We had 4 third place finishes with The Mentalist, owned by Dennis Jensen, Randy Young, Johnny Lee and Jill Giles, in trial 1, with Wonderous Woman, owned by Mary Lovey Wood, in trial 5, with Seises Royal, owned by Darian Burt, in trial 6, and with First Valentine, owned by David and Ross Hinkins, in trial 9. We had 1 fourth place finish with Dp Desi Diamond, owned by Dan and Patricia Baker, in trial 18. Standy, owned by Jim and Michele Laird, finished 9th in trial 20 after getting bumped and squashed out of the race. And unfortunately, Seperate Heart, owned by Preston Cloud and Karen and Tuggle, C.E., was unable to finish the race in trial 8 and we feel really bad about that. Sorry for your loss.
Goose Perry ran a close 2nd in a time of 21.581 after slipping coming out of the gates in trial 15 and just missed qualifying for the Futurity. However, he did qualify 2nd fastest for the All American Juvenile Invitational.
The 10 qualifiers for the Futurity all came out of trials 12 through 17 with the exception of 1 that came out of trial 3. There were a lot of horses that were expected to qualify for the finals that didn't. It was kind of a wierd day. I guess you never know when there are 20 trials. Our horses ran good, what more can you ask for other than qualifying for the finals. Maybe if he we had run in the better part of the day after the wind switched directions then maybe we could have qualified. Awww.....what could have been. I guess you just get over it and move on to the next race.
The All American Derby trials were held on Friday, August 20th and the day went about the same with horses that were expected to qualify for the finals but didn't. Another wierd day. We had 2 horses entered in the 7 trials. Jess Good, owned by Johnny Lee and Jill Giles, got bumped and squashed out of trial 1 and ended up running 6th. Spotmeacorona, owned by Clifford and Justin Johnson, ran a good first part of the race but in the end ran back in the last trial. Neither qualified for the finals.
Congratulations to those whos horse's ran great. The trials all contained really tough horses and you should be proud of the way your horse(s) ran. And Congratulations and Good Luck to Dennis Jensen! We will see you back in Ruidoso on September 6th for the finals of the All American Juvenile Invitational.

The Last Couple Weeks
It has been a quiet couple weeks with not having much running in Ruidoso with the exception of a couple Maiden races. DP Desi Diamond, owned by Dan and Patricia Baker, ran a good race and broke her maiden on August 5th. Other than that we have been moving horses into The Downs at Albuquerque and preparing for the All American trials which run this week at Ruidoso Downs.
Jill started racing at Albuquerque this last Saturday, August 14th and we are off to a good start with a close 3rd place finish with Chocolate Mountain, owned by Lewis Dillree, in an 870 yard Allowance. We had two 1st place finishes yesterday with Duke McBride, owned by Elizebeth Johnson, in a Claiming race, and Whatever Forever, owned by Kenny Campbell, Jill Giles and Melvin and Mary Neugebauer, who ran an impressive first race breaking his maiden by a length. And today another impressive 1st place finish with RGR Lyon A Tac, owned by David and Ross Hinkins, in a Maiden race winning by a 1/2 length.
The All American Futurity trials are scheduled to run this Thursday, August 19th. We have 10 horses entered in the 20 trials. WOW! We feel like we have really nice horses in the trials and have a good shot at qualifying if everything goes right. It takes luck of drawing the right trial and a flawless race to qualify for what may be a once in a lifetime opportunity for some.
The All American Derby trials are scheduled to run this Friday, August 20th. We have 2 horses entered in the 7 trials that all contain outstanding 3 year olds. They are going to be some really tough trials. But we feel like we have 2 really nice horses and if they run good then hopefully we can get there.
Good luck to those of you who have horses running in the All American trials and we look forward to seeing you out this way! And don't forget that the New Mexico Bred Quarter Horse & Thoroughbred Yearling Sale is the evenings of Friday, August 20th and Saturday, August 21st at Ruidoso Downs after the races.

John Deere New Mexico Juvenille Challenge Trials
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!

2010 Rainbow Futurity Trials
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.

Current Trainer Standings
My dad and mom are probably going to hate for me for posting this as they are definately not ones to brag and are very superstitious and would think they are jinxing themselves by saying anything, but I think they are having a good year and wanted to let you all know how your trainer is doing in case you were not aware.
* Currently they have 15 wins at SunRay Park and are in a very tight race for leading trainer there. The only other trainers in the hunt are either thoroughbred trainers or trainers that train both quarter horses and throroughbreds. Good luck to them with just 6 race days left for the meet!
* Currently Wes is sitting in a close 6th position for overall money earned and 17th for most wins with 5 stakes wins in the AQHA standings. The standing change regularly but he does seem to be move up the chain of trainers the compete all over the country.
* Currently Wes is #1 in the New Mexico Regional High-Point Standings ahead of 2nd place by 283 points.
I have noticed several of their owners names, breeders and horses on these lists. You should check them out. It's kind of fun to follow along week to week.
I also thought it would be a good time to thank you all again. Without you wonderful owners and your great horses it would not be possible. In horse racing it takes a lot of hard work, dedicated owners, good horses and luck definately plays a huge part. All the pieces need to fit together to be successful. A huge thank you again from Wes, Jill and Jason and good luck in the continuing racing season.

2010 Red Cell Challenge
This article was found on the Sunland Park website:Sunday, April 4, 2010
Gone to the Mountain drives home a winner in $53,280 Red Cell New Mexico Challenge
Gone to the Mountain drove home a convincing 1 and 3/4-length winner in the $53,280 Red Cell New Mexico Challenge at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino on Sunday.
The reigning world champion 870 yard horse had to work early to gain his sixth straight win, but in the final stages there was no doubt to his dominance. Gone to the Mountain was challenged by La Especial Corona rounding the far turn of the 870 yard stakes. Jockey Freddie Martinez never seemed worried and continued to merely hand ride the 1-9 favorite into the home stretch. The multiple stakes winning son of Panther Mountain shifted gears and put away the early threat.
Gone to the Mountain raced smoothly through the stretch and hit finish line safely clear of both Sheet Burns and High On Cat. The wire to wire winner caught the distance in a fast 43.94 seconds, good for a 102 speed index. The world record holder at 870 yards seemed to have plenty of speed in reserve. He collected $27,706 from his 12th career win from 24 starts. The distance dynamo is trained by Wes Giles and owned by Clyde Woerner of Georgetown, Texas. His impressive bankroll is approaching $440,000. The five-year-old stallion remains unbeaten over Sunland Park soil in 4 attempts.

2010 New Mexico Spring Futurity Trials

Another impressive win came from High Five Lane owned by Kip Watterson. However, he drew the first trial which had a cross wind and unfortunately did not have a fast enough time to qualify. Guess that's horse racing and when it comes to the weather it's out of our hands. Dang the bad luck though.
