MJ Farms Purchases High Seller at Heritage Place Fall Mixed Sale
Mac and Janis Murray’s MJ Farms of
Veguita, New Mexico, acquired the high seller
at the Heritage Place Fall Mixed Sale, held
October 31-November 1 in Oklahoma City.
MJ Farms paid $132,000 for Eye For
Corona, a 9-year-old mare by Corona
Cartel. Racing at Los Alamitos from 200708, Eye For Corona earned $1,100,121
from 13 starts, and her four wins included
a nose victory in the ’07 Golden State
Million Futurity (G1). The mare also ran
second, three-quarters of a length behind
champion Carters Cartel, in that season’s
Ed Burke Million Futurity (G1).
Eye For Corona was consigned to the
sale by Julianna Hawn Holt of Blanco,
Texas. The mare has produced one stakes
winner, the Wave Carver mare Ultimate
Wave, and Eye For FDD, a stakes-placed
First Down Dash gelding who was a
finalist in the 2012 Los Alamitos Winter
(G1) and Golden State (G1) derbies.
Eye For Corona was bred on March
26, 2014, and is believed to be in foal to
champion Mr Jess Perry.
Also, a total of 14 New Mexico-bred
or -based horses sold at the Heritage

Sunland Park Racetrack Releases $5.6-Million Stakes Schedule
Approximately $5.6 million in stakes
purses will be up for grabs during
the 2014-15 Sunland Park meet,
which opens its 76-day run on Friday,
December 5.
Once again, the Sunland Park stakes
schedule will be topped by the only
graded Thoroughbred stakes in New
Mexico, the 1 1/8-mile, $800,000
Sunland Derby (G3), which will be run
for the 13th time on Sunday, March
22. Contested for the first time in
2003, the Sunland Derby has been the
southwest region’s major prep race for
Thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown,
which begins with the $2-million
Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs
on the first Saturday in May.
The Sunland Derby will be the
centerpiece of a stakes-laden program
on March 22. Other significant stakes
run that day include the 1 1/16-mile,
$200,000 Sunland Park Oaks for 3-yearold fillies, and two $100,000 races for
3-year-olds and older: the 6 1/2-furlong
16 New Mexico Horse Breeder Bill Thomas Memorial Stakes, and the
1-mile Harry W. Henson Handicap for
fillies and mares.
Past winners of the Sunland Park
Oaks include Plum Pretty, a daughter of
Medaglia d’Oro who in 2011 used the
race as a stepping stone to her victory in
the Grade 1, $1-million Kentucky Oaks at
Churchill Downs five weeks later.
Sunland Derby Day will also feature
three stakes restricted to New Mexicobreds, including the 1 1/16-mile,
$100,000 New Mexico Breeders’ Derby
(R) for 3-year-olds, and the 1 1/16-mile,
$100,000 New Mexico Breeders’ Oaks (R)
for sophomore fillies.
Of the 52 stakes offered during
the Sunland Park meet, 33 will be for
Thoroughbreds and 19 for Quarter
Horses. Other significant Thoroughbred
stakes include the 1-mile, $100,000 Riley
Allison Derby for 3-year-olds on January
24, and the 1 1/16-mile, $100,000 Mine
That Bird Stakes for sophomores on
February 21.
Sunland Park’s $2.5-million Quarter
Horse stakes schedule is topped by the
14th running of the 400-yard, $350,000
Championship at Sunland Park (G1)
on December 28. Past winners of this
race include AQHA world champions
A Ransom (2001), Streakin Sin Tacha
(’02), and Cold Cash 123 (’11), and New
Mexico-bred AQHA divisional champions
Gotta Get and First Moonflash.
Other graded Quarter Horse stakes
include the 400-yard, $290,000-est. Shue
Fly Stakes (RG2) for New Mexico-bred
3-year-olds on January 3, the 300-yard,
$212,000-est. New Mexican Spring Futurity
(RG2) for state-bred 2-year-olds on April
5, the 440-yard, $100,000-added Bank of
America New Mexico Challenge (G2) on
April 11, and the 300-yard, $264,000-est.
West Texas Futurity (G2) on April 12.

Trainer Joel Marr Notches 1,000th
Career Thoroughbred Win on Nov. 11
Trainer Joel Marr tallied his 1,000th
career Thoroughbred win in the 11th and
final race at Zia Park on Nov. 11.
Marr’s milestone victory came with
Sweet Diamond, a 3-year-old Attila’s
Storm filly owned by Rodney Brooks and
Donnie Reid and ridden by Ken Tohill,
in a 1-mile race for New Mexico-bred
maiden $6,500 claimers.
Marr, 46, earned his first win as a
trainer in 1991. His father, Gerald, is
also a trainer, and Marr followed in his
footsteps after receiving his BS Degree in
Animal Science from New Mexico State
University in ’89.
“I’ve been around it all my life, so it’s
something that just came naturally,” Marr
said. “I decided not to go to work for
anybody and started training on my own.
Marr has won more New Mexico Cup
races, 21, than any other trainer. During
the 2014 New Mexico Cup, run October
26 at Zia Park, the trainer won four of the
rich program’s eight Thoroughbred stakes.
All of his winners were coming off of
extended layoffs.
“It’s something you want to have all
your New Mexico-breds ready for if they’re
at that caliber, because it’s the best purses,”
Marr said of the New Mexico Cup. “There
are so many downs and ups, and I try to
keep it even-keeled.
“I’m more about the process,” he
added. “I like horses that try because they
make me want to try more for them. You
have to do everything right because you
know they’re going to try.”
Four of Marr’s New Mexico Cup
wins came with Peppers Pride, a
homebred daughter of Desert God
owned by Joe Allen of Abilene, Texas.
Peppers Pride made national headlines
when she won 19 consecutive races
from 2005-08.
“She was my favorite,” Marr said. “She
was different from any other horse. She was
special. She always smart, and she always
had that look in her eyes.”
Marr gives a lot of the credit for his
success to his team, including grooms
Armando Gonzalez and Antonio Leos,
who have been working for him for 20
and 15 years, respectively, and his assistant
trainer Tony Mathiasen, who has been
with him for six.
Marr also credits his wife, Teresa, a
former jockey in New Mexico. The Marrs
have two daughters, Shacie, 12, and
Shaeden, 10.
“It takes a lot of time and effort to get
something done right, and you need to
have good people around you,” Marr said.
“You can’t do it by yourself, and I have a
lot of good people who have been with me
for a long time.” Correction
There is a correction from page 33 of
our October 2014 issue.
Cali Baby was owned by Chris Hourigan
and UKUSA Stables from 2009 through
April of 2012, and by UKUSA from
April, 2012 to the present.

24 New Mexico Horse Breeder DECEMBER 2014 25
As New Mexico’s breeding industry has
grown in recent years, so has Steve and
Susie Prather’s Doubletree Farm.
Located on 160 acres three miles
south of Hobbs, Doubletree Farm has
become one of New Mexico’s leading
Thoroughbred breeding facilities. The
farm, which opened in 2001, will stand
five stallions next year. In addition, it is
currently home to some 70 broodmares,
a large increase from the handful stabled
there when the farm was established.
The Prathers started Doubletree while
Steve was working in the oil and gas
business with his father, the late Paul
“Dink” Prather.
“We were busy in the oil and gas service
business, and we didn’t have a lot of time
to put in the farm back then,” recalls Steve
Prather. “We started the farm on a very
small scale. We were basically just breeding
for ourselves, and it just grew into a
business.
“We sold our oilfield service business in
September 2006, and we already had the
farm in full swing by then,” he adds. “It’s
done nothing but grow, and I think we’re
still headed in the right direction.”
28 New Mexico Horse Breeder Doubletree’s flagship stallion is
Quinton’s Gold. A 17-year-old son of
the Mr. Prospector stallion Carson City,
Quinton’s Gold won the 6-furlong,
$100,000 Phoenix Gold Cup at Turf
Paradise during his 5-year-old campaign.
Quinton’s Gold has sired seven blacktype stakes winners and the earners of more
than $4.3 million from just 64 starters,
including Lefty Who, a seven-time stakes
winner from 2008-10, and That’s Who,
a 5-year-old gelding whose seven career
stakes wins include a three-quarter length
victory in the October 26, $192,720 Rocky
Gulch New Mexico Cup Championship
(R) at Zia Park.
Doubletree’s other established stallions
are The Way Home, an unraced 10-yearold son of Giant’s Causeway whose stakes
winners include E Bar Way and Way To
Go Gerda; and Indian Firewater, a Grade
2-winning son of Indian Charlie who stood
his first season at the farm in 2013.
Doubletree will stand two new stallions,
Abstraction and Chipshot, next year.
Abstraction is a 4-year-old son of Grade
2 winner Pulpit and Andujar, a Grade
2-winning Quiet American mare Andjuar
who sold for $2.5 million as a broodmare
prospect at the ’06 Fasig-Tipton Keeneland
November Sale. Abstraction won two of four
starts, including the 2013 Federico Tesio
Stakes at Pimlico, and banked $86,945.
Chipshot will stand at Doubletree for his
owner, Stephen Brown of Midland, Texas.
A stakes-winning and multiple graded
stakes placed 6-year-old son of Peace Rules
and the graded stakes winning Appealing
Skier mare Chispiski, Chipshot ran third
as a 2-year-old in the Grade 3, $153,000
Sapling Stakes at Monmouth Park.
Prather started Doubletree’s broodmare
band with five mares he bought in Kentucky.
About 30 of the mares housed at the farm
are owned by Sam Stevens of Lamesa, Texas,
the breeder of That’s Who and Lefty Who.
Another 14 are owned by Brown.
In fact, Doubletree’s proximity to west
Texas -- it’s located about eight miles from
the state line -- has helped the farm grow
into what it’s become today.
by Michael Cusortelli
“Establishing the farm so close to
Texas was a good move; if it wasn’t
for the Texas customers we have, we
wouldn’t have much,” says Prather. “A
lot of our Texas clients like to come by
and visit their broodmares. It’s especially
convenient for them if they have a horse
racing at Zia Park. They can come by the
farm and then go out to the track and
watch their horse run.”
Doubletree’s new manager is Jorge
Chavez, who replaced longtime manager
Alfredo Gutierrez. Chavez has been
employed at the farm for 11 years.
“He started out teasing mares,
helping breed mares, baling hay, doing
whatever it took,” Prather says. “Alfredo
was here for about 12 years and he was
a good hand, but after he left to work
in the oil fields, Jorge stepped right into
his spot.”
In addition to raising horses,
Doubletree grows alfalfa, beardless winter
wheat, and beardless triticale. Of the farm’s
160 acres, about 90 are dedicated to the
growing of crops.
“We have a lot of mouths to feed on
the farm, and I can raise alfalfa cheaper
here than I can by having it trucked in,”
Prather says. “I started farming here about
20 years ago, and I can tell you that the
cost of everything attached to farming -fertilizer, machinery, fuel and labor -- has
really gone up.
“But I can raise my own hay and be
confident that I have a high-quality, highprotein product, and I know what I’m
feeding our horses,” he adds. “I don’t have
to be concerned about the quality of the
hay I’m having trucked in here.”
Prather has also been a familiar face
in the winner’s circles of New Mexico’s
tracks. He races Lux in partnership with
his mother, Bessie Prather of Eunice, and
Dwayne Taylor, and the homebred son of
Quinton’s Gold won two stakes during the
Ruidoso Downs summer meet.
Other homebred stakes winners
campaigned by Prather include My Homey,
a son of The Way Home who won the
2011 Mountain Top Futurity (R) at
Ruidoso Downs and shipped to SunRay
Park in Farmington and won the $85,000
Totah Stakes (R) six days later, and
T.V. Stevie, a stakes-winning gelding by
Quinton’s Gold.
Prather also serves on the New Mexico
Horsemen’s Association committee at Zia
Park. He’s optimistic about the future
of the state’s racing industry, but he
says he’d like to see at least a few tracks
drop the state’s long-standing mixed
Thoroughbred-Quarter Horse meet
formats in favor of straight Thoroughbred
and Quarter Horse meets.
“I’m optimistic about Albuquerque and
their increased purses, but if you look at
other states with racinos -- like Louisiana
and Oklahoma -- they’ve gone to split
meets and they’re doing well,” Prather
says. “Here in New Mexico during the first
few weeks of the fall, we have Albuquerque
running on top of Zia Park, and there
are Thoroughbreds at both tracks.
Thoroughbred races aren’t filling the way
they should be, and that’s not good for
our fans, our racetracks, or anybody.
“If we try split meets for a couple of
years and find out that they don’t work
here, we can always change it and try
something else,” he adds.

Feeding the Estrus Cycle:
Maximizing Chances of Conception
By Heather Smith Thomas
M
ares must be on a well balanced
diet and adequate plane of
nutrition to cycle properly,
conceive and carry a foal. According to
equine nutritionist Tania Cubitt, PhD
(Performance Horse Nutrition), nutritional
management is a simple, cost effective tool to
ensure normal cyclic behavior and optimum
pregnancy rates. If adequate nutrients are not
accessible to the mare as stored body fat or
available in the feed, she will not cycle.
IMPORTANCE OF BODY
CONDITION
A common problem is not planning
ahead. Some mare owners decide at the last
minute they want to breed their mare. This
may not work if the mare is too thin or too
fat. “Owners need to be pro-active, and get
the mare in proper body condition first.
If her body condition score is somewhere
between 5 and 7 on the Henneke scale,
there’s much better chance of getting her
pregnant,” says Cubitt.
Amy Gill, PhD (Equine Nutrition
Consultant, Lexington, Kentucky) says
thin mares are less likely to cycle, become
pregnant, or stay pregnant than mares
with adequate stored energy in the form of
adipose tissue. Body scores of 4 and below
are too thin, and scores of 8 to 9 are too
fat for ideal reproduction. Mares with BSC
between 5 and 7 start cycling earlier in the
breeding season than mares with low body
condition score. “Adequate body condition
helps create a positive energy balance, which
tells the mare’s body there’s enough energy
to cycle and become pregnant,” says Gill.
36 New Mexico Horse Breeder Thin mares have decreased ovarian
activity and longer intervals between
ovulation. They are less likely to cycle
and more likely to suffer early pregnancy
loss if they do breed. Brian Nielsen, PhD
(Michigan State University) says the
biggest issue for getting mares in foal is just
making sure they’re fat enough. “There
have been some misconceptions in thinking
that fat mares are not fertile, or that the
ideal situation is to have mares thin and
in a gaining condition. Research shows,
however, that you’re better off having them
a little on the plump side,” he says.
Even though BSC 5 is considered
ideal, a mare needs fat reserves at the
time she foals, and does better at body
score 6 or 7. “Even if she’s BSC 5 at
foaling, her energy demands increase
dramatically at that time, for lactation,”
he says. She’ll lose weight, and unless
she has some reserves, lactation may pull
her down to where she’s less apt to cycle
properly for rebreeding.
“If you think the mare will be BSC 5 at
foaling, you should feed her more, so she’ll
have more leeway after she starts lactating.
As someone once said, you should feed
a mare like a dairy cow; otherwise she’ll
look like one,” says Nielsen. You must feed
her for lactation as well as for becoming
pregnant again.
Overweight mares, especially if they’re
obese, may also have difficulty getting
pregnant. Obesity in horses has been
associated with decreased insulin sensitivity,
and research has shown that both obesity
and decreased insulin sensitivity may
decrease reproductive function. Cubitt
points out that obese mares have longer
intervals between ovulations, and this
may be due to a persistent corpus luteum
in the ovary. This could make the obese
mare more difficult to rebreed if the first
breeding is not successful.
If a fat mare needs to lose weight,
get her down to proper body condition
well ahead of when you plan to breed
her. “Mares on an increasing plane of
nutrition (gaining weight) tend to cycle
and breed more successfully than a mare
on a decreasing plane of nutrition. Even
though she may be fat, loss of weight
signals the brain that she should not
cycle,” explains Cubitt.
Nature has programmed the body to
ensure its own survival; a mare losing
weight may not have adequate nutrition
for herself and a developing fetus. A mare
gaining weight is more likely to cycle.
High-energy diets shorten the interval to
first ovulation in thin mares transitioning
from winter anestrus, compared to thin
mares on a low energy diet, but an
increase in dietary energy does not give
any additional benefit to mares that were
already in moderate or fat body condition,
according to Cubitt.
If a mare is quite thin (BSC 2 or 3),
it might take 6 months to get her up to
proper body condition for breeding. Take
care, when feeding for weight gain, to not
overfeed energy-dense feeds that might
create digestive problems or laminitis. If
you don’t start early enough to get her
body condition up to where it should be,
Cubitt suggests waiting until the following
year to breed her. This would allow the
mare time to gain and maintain proper
weight and resume a normal estrous cycle
before trying to get her in foal.
“Keep her on an optimum plane of
nutrition, because once she does get
pregnant, the first few weeks of pregnancy
are also crucial,” says Cubitt. “Early
embryonic loss is a big issue in mares, plus
the fetus is developing critical organs such
as brain and eyes in those first few weeks.
By day 24 you can see the heartbeat. You
don’t want drastic changes in the mare’s
body condition during that time. This is a
very vulnerable period,” says Cubitt.
IMPORTANCE OF BALANCED
DIET
The mare also needs a balanced diet
in terms of vitamins, minerals, adequate
amount of protein, etc. Deficiencies in
vitamins and minerals, for instance, can
have adverse effects on the embryo before
and after it implants into the uterine lining.
Regarding amount of feed, the mare
can be on a maintenance diet if she’s a
maiden or barren mare out on pasture
or eating hay and not working. “The hay
or grass may be adequate for calories to
keep her in proper body condition, but
she may still need a supplement to provide
certain minerals if soil or hay are deficient.
Something as simple as a ration-balancer
pellet may be all she needs,” explains
Cubitt. This could supply whatever might
be missing in her diet, without adding
excess calories.
“Adequate selenium, for instance, is
very important for fertility. Much of the
U.S. is deficient in this element. Most
commercial feed companies fortify their
feeds with selenium. Not all are using
organic selenium (it’s best because it’s
more readily absorbed by the body) but
you can check the feed tag. It should list
selenium yeast, which is what you’d want.”
Nielsen stresses importance of good
quality feeds, mimicking Mother Nature.
The natural breeding season for mares
coincides with green grass—which has high
quality protein and adequate nutrients for
cycling, pregnancy and lactation for mares
under natural conditions.
“Mother Nature is smarter than we are.
If we’re trying to breed mares early, we
must try to simulate the kind of diet they’d
have during more optimal conditions.
I recommend using a commercial
concentrate that’s been balanced by equine
nutritionists. It has the proper types and
amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins,
etc. If you’re trying to create a ration
yourself, you might not achieve the same
plane of nutrition,” he says.
CAUTIONS
Nutritional therapy for joint problems
may be beneficial for an older mare that’s
uncomfortable, because if she’s in pain
she may not cycle, according to Gill.
Don’t go overboard on supplements in
general, however. Some things people
feed horses may not be helpful in terms of
reproduction and may be harmful.
“Stick to the basics. Don’t feed herbs
and all sorts of ‘natural’ products. We
don’t know how some of these might
negatively affect the mare. Stay away from
things that aren’t proven to be necessary
unless they’ve been researched and proven
safe,” says Gill. Some supplements may be
counterproductive to successful pregnancy.
Keep it simple—and safer.
Be cautious about following the latest
fads. “You might cause harm in overdoing
certain beneficial supplements. Omega
3 fatty acids seem to have a number of
advantages for things like arthritis and
reproductive issues in stallions whose
semen doesn’t ship well. But problems
can occur if you try to extrapolate some
findings across the board,” says Nielsen.
“A study at Kansas State University,
published in 2006, looked at feeding
Omega 3 fatty acids to horses. They found
that some mixtures of Omega 3 fatty acids
actually delayed how soon mares start
to cycle. Mares that were supplemented
with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) during late
gestation and early lactation had their first
post-partum ovulation delayed by about
10 days. They had a large follicle during
the first post-partum estrus period for over
6 days longer. Mares supplemented with
just DHA did not experience these delays.
DECEMBER 2014 37
You can run into potential problems when
using certain supplements,” he explains.
“For instance, Omega 3 fatty
acids inhibit prostaglandins. This is
one reason they can be helpful in
reducing inflammation in the body. But
certain prostaglandins are important
in reproductive events, being part of
hormonal messages,” explains Nielsen.
Be careful about giving the mare too
much of any certain thing or using herbs
and so-called natural supplements. You
don’t always know what effect these might
have on reproduction. “There hasn’t been
much testing on these. Just because it’s an
herb and a natural substance doesn’t mean
it’s safe,” explains Nielsen. There are many
natural poisons.
“Especially with herbs, there’s potential
for altering certain things you aren’t even
aware of. The best advice, regarding
nutrition for the mare you want to breed,
is to keep it basic, and simple, and you are
less likely to cause problems.”
It’s not always easy to find answers to
nutritional questions. “Research has some
bias, but there’s some filtering process
in scientific papers. The problem for the
average horse owner going on line to
search for answers is that they’ll find a
lot of conflicting information and some
things that may not be valid. It can be
tough to sort through this. Regarding any
supplement, when in doubt leave it out.
The likelihood of doing more harm than
good is always there.”
If a horse owner has questions about
what might or might not be good
nutrition for the mare, Cubitt says it’s
best to ask an equine nutrition rather than
follow the latest fads or advice found on
the internet. “When feeding any horse,
38 New Mexico Horse Breeder PREGNANCY IS A LUXURY
Pregnancy will only happen if signals within the mare’s body tell her brain that
there’s enough body reserve to maintain herself and a fetus. The body services survival
needs first (the important life processes of vital organs), and allows reproduction only
after those needs are met. Hormonal signals to the brain are influenced by whether or
not the mare has enough body reserve to support a growing fetus.
“Pregnancy and other things like top athletic performance, hair coat and hoof
health are sacrificed if a mare doesn’t have adequate nutrition,” says Gill. “If the
body doesn’t have enough of certain vitamins, minerals, proteins and energy, all
the vital systems and organs will be taken care of first. The health of heart, lungs,
kidneys, etc. will be serviced ahead of hair and hooves, or becoming pregnant.”
Hoof health deteriorates, hair coat becomes dull, and the mare may stop cycling.
“Pregnancy is high on the list of things that will be sacrificed—things you can
live without. A horse can live with bad feet (it’s not a life or death situation) or not
reproducing. If the horse is lacking in amino acids, biotin and zinc, for example,
the feet will suffer, because these nutrients are also crucial to normal metabolism—
which will be serviced first because it’s more important than making good keratin for
hoof growth. Similarly, a mare won’t cycle or make a fetus if she can’t manufacture
tissue for her own body. So you must make sure that she has a good positive energy
balance,” explains Gill.
we need to mainly think about good
quality ingredients, and available sources
of nutrients. It’s important to use protein
sources with high amounts of certain
amino acids. Soybean meal or alfalfa can
give you the highest level of essential
amino acids (that the body cannot make
for itself) that must be obtained from
feed. You also need to use bio-available
sources of minerals, such as organic
selenium or chelated minerals, rather
than something the body cannot readily
absorb,” says Cubitt.
“Another problem with feeding high
levels of minerals that mainly go on
through the digestive tract without being
absorbed is that these can be detrimental
to the environment. In Europe, regulations
are very strict about what you can feed,
because those countries have such a small
amount of land and a large number of
animals,” she explains.
Many factors play a role in equine
reproduction, but proper nutritional
management is a way to try to ensure
successful pregnancy. “Proper nutrition
for the broodmare is actually very simple.
It’s more difficult to get a mare pregnant
than some other species, so we want to
do everything we can to set mares up for
the best possible chance for pregnancy,”
says Cubitt. Heather Smith Thomas resides on a
ranch near Salmon, Idaho. As a freelance
writer for many years, her equine health and
management articles are a regular feature
in the New Mexico Horse Breeders Magazine.

Kim Saunders
46 New Mexico Horse Breeder L
ocated on US Highway 70 just a
few furlongs from Ruidoso Downs
Racetrack, Sierra Blanca Equine is
an integral part of New Mexico’s racehorse
breeding industry.
The facility was opened in 2001 by
Kim Saunders and her mother, Barbara
Saunders. It was closed for a short time
in the middle of the decade, then it was
reopened again three years ago.
“I moved permanently to Ruidoso after
I’d worked for L/J Farms in Louisiana,”
Kim recalls. “I sales-prepped and boarded
a few horses, and then I took a fulltime job with JEH Stallion Station New
Mexico in 2007. After JEH closed, I
reopened Sierra Blanca Equine in 2011 as
a boarding, foal-out, incoming semen and
sales-prep facility.”
Kim Saunders was born in Clovis, New
Mexico, but she also has deep west Texas
roots. Shortly after her birth, she moved
with her family to Seagraves, Texas, and
later to Marfa, a city of about 2,000
residents located 120 miles southeast of
El Paso.
After she graduated from Marfa
High School, Kim attended Texas Tech
University in Lubbock, where she earned
a BS Degree in Animal Production, and
Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas,
where she earned an MS Degree in Equine
Exercise Physiology.
Sierra Blanca began standing stallions
By Michael
Cusortelli
just last year, two years after it reopened,
but horses have long been a part of the
Saunders family history.
“My maternal great-grandfather had
horses,” Kim says. “I grew up on and
around horses; they’ve always been a way of
life for us. My family began racing horses
at Ruidoso Downs back in the 1950s, and
we’ve always had a home in Ruidoso. We
spent the majority of our summers there as
far back as I can remember.”
Kim’s first farm job was on her family
farm, an operation which bred, raced, and
sale-prepped its own horses and registered
Hereford cattle. Her first job away from
the family farm was at the Fulton Ranch
racehorse division in Lubbock, Texas.
Joe Kirk Fulton, the owner of the
ranch, was the first Masked Rider mascot
at Texas Tech back in the early 1950s. Kim
also served as the Masked Rider when she
attended Texas Tech.
“Mr. Fulton sold my mother her first
Quarter Horse race mare in 1966,” she adds.
Sierra Blanca Equine currently stands six
stallions, four of which are Quarter Horses.
One of the farm’s Quarter Horse stallions,
Dashing Vike, is owned by Gary Thompson
and Bob Gerhardt. A 5-year-old son of
First Down Dash, Dashing Vike is a full
brother to Grade 1 winner Volcom, and
Kim Saunders and
Tres Seis Nueve
SIERRA BLANCA EQUINE
he was the runner-up in the 2012 Ruidoso
Derby (G1), outrunning a field that
included champions Feature Mr Bojangles
and Ochoa.
“Gary Thompson and Bob Gerhardt
were out at the farm one day looking
at Gary’s babies,” Kim Saunders recalls.
“They started talking about Dashing Vike
and how he had been retired after the
Ruidoso Derby. Mr. Gerhardt mentioned
to Gary that he needed to buy and stand
the horse.
“At that time, we weren’t standing
any stallions, and Gary really didn’t know
what he would do with Dashing Vike,”
she adds. “We talked about it for a
while, and then they left the farm. About
an hour later, Gary returned, handed me
the registration papers for Dashing Vike
and said, ‘We’re now in the stud horse
business.’”
Sierra Blanca also stands Ive Done Did
It for Celina Molina, a longtime Quarter
Horse owner and breeder who made a
splash in the business with one of the
first horses she ever raced, Corona Cartel.
Ive Done Did It is a 6-year-old son of
Corona Cartel and 1989 world champion
See Me Do It.
“Celina Molina and I have been
friends for years, and many years back I’d
mentioned to her how I’d like to one day
stand a stallion for her,” Saunders says.
“When our farm began standing stallions,
she remembered our conversation and sent
me Ive Done Did It.”
Lookinforthesecret is a 12-year-old
Thoroughbred son of the Tejano stallion
Cimarron Secret. A well-traveled sort who
raced in eight different states and provinces
from 2005-08, Lookinforthesecret won
exactly half of his 36 starts, including eight
stakes, and earned $553,456.
Lookinforthesecret stands for Micah
McKinney, who acquired the stallion in an
unique way.
“Jim Gibbs ran across this horse,
who had been abandoned by his owner
at a boarding facility,” Saunders says.
“They rescued him for his board bill,
and he stood for a few years in Texas.
Mr. McKinney moved him here because
he thought he’d be a good fit in New
Mexico, and so did I.”
Saunders has a personal connection with
another of Sierra Blanca’s Quarter Horse
stallions, Tres Seis Nueve. She foaled out
the Grade 2-placed son of champion Tres
Seis in 2009, when she was still working at
JEH Stallion Station.
“He was one of the toughest yearlings
I’d ever been around,” Saunders recalls.
“We spent a lot of time together, and
he will always hold a very special place
in my heart. His owner, Gabriel Gomez,
boards all of his mares and babies at
Sierra Blanca. And, as I eventually
found out, Mr. Gomez many years ago
purchased bulls at our annual Hereford
Bull Sale in Marfa.”
Sierra Blanca’s other stallions are
Monterey Jazz and Freakier. A 10-yearold Kentucky-bred son of the Montbrook
stallion Thunderello, Monterey Jazz won
four graded stakes in California and Texas
from 2007-09, including the ’08 Strub
Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita Park.
Freakier is a 5-year-old California-bred
stallion by Walk Thru Fire whose half
brother, Freaky, was the AQHA world
champion in 2009.
Sierra Blanca currently boards about
40 mares, the majority of which are
Quarter Horses. The farm has three
full-time employees, and it adds workers
during the busier breeding and salesprep seasons.
“Running a farm is hard work, but the
rewards are unbelievable,” Saunders says.
“To have happy and productive horses and
return customers makes it all worth it. I
can’t imagine doing anything else.
“The biggest challenges we’ve faced
during these tough economic times are
budgeting operational costs and running a
profitable business,” she adds. “It’s not just
about taking care of horses any more, as I
wish it were. It’s about balancing all of the
different aspects.”

PERSONALITY PROFILE:
D
r. Warren Franklin was raised in
rural eastern New Mexico, and he
can’t recall a time in his life when
he didn’t want to be a veterinarian.
Franklin grew up near House, New
Mexico, a village of less than 100 residents
located -- as the crow flies -- halfway
between Santa Rosa and Clovis. After he
graduated from House High School, he
attended New Mexico State University in
Las Cruces, from where he graduated with
a BS Degree in Animal Science in 1983.
According to Franklin, who currently
owns and operates Franklin Veterinary
Clinic near Ruidoso Downs Racetrack, that
undergraduate degree helped pave the way
for his entrance into veterinary school.
“I’d wanted to be a veterinarian for as
long as I can remember,” Franklin recalls. “I
developed a love and respect for animals from
growing up on a ranch, and I became familiar
with racehorses at a young age through an
uncle who had a breeding farm in Portales.
The Animal Science degree served as my ticket
to get into vet school at Colorado State.”
Franklin’s uncle was A.D. Stowe, a
longtime horseman who owned Go With
The Wind, a stakes-winning son of Go Man
Go and the sire of 1976 AQHA champion
2-year-old and All American Futurity (G1)
winner Real Wind.
Franklin graduated from Colorado State
in ’87. While at CSU, he had two mentors
48 New Mexico Horse Breeder who helped him find his own specific path
in the field of veterinary medicine. One
of Franklin’s mentors, Dr. Simon Turner,
was, along with noted equine surgeon Dr.
Wayne McIlwraith, one of the first veterinary
surgeons to perform arthroscopic surgery.
“Dr. Turner performed these surgeries
primarily on horses, and racehorses were a
large component of his practice,” Franklin
says. “He was instrumental in getting me
interested in the surgery component of
veterinary medicine.”
Another of Franklin’s mentors, Dr.
Gayle Trotter, co-authored a textbook
with Dr. McIlwraith on the subject of joint
diseases in horses.
“Dr. Trotter was also in the cutting
horse business, so I developed an interest in
performance horses through him,” Franklin
says. “During my junior and senior years,
we did what were called ‘double rotations,’
and even though I was personally geared
toward horses and other large animals all of
my double rotations were in small-animal
medicine, and I developed an interest in that.
“But it was Dr. Turner and Dr. Trotter
who most piqued my interest in largeanimal veterinary medicine,” he adds.
Franklin’s work with racehorses actually
began while he was still a student at
By Michael Cusortelli
Colorado State. When his uncle started
his farm in Portales, he hired Dr. John
Harlacker to help with his reproduction
work. Harlacker had just relocated to the
Ruidoso area and had established Greentree
Veterinary at the location where Franklin’s
clinic now stands.
“John was traveling back and forth
from Ruidoso to Portales to do the repro
work at my uncle’s farm, and at that
time I was looking for a place to do my
preceptorship,” Franklin recalls. “My
cousin suggested we call Dr. Harlacker
to see if he was hiring, and he was, so
between my junior and senior years at CSU
I moved to Ruidoso and worked at the
racetrack for him.
“We did arthroscopic surgeries, colic
surgeries, the works,” he adds. “That
was the period of my life where I started
working in earnest with racehorses.”
The list of horses Franklin has worked
with reads like a Who’s Who of New
Mexico racing. While working as manager
and farm vet at JEH Stallion Station
near Hondo, he tended to Brookstone
Bay, a graded stakes winning son of First
Down Dash and the sire of 2009 AQHA
champion 2-year-old Runnning Brook
Gal, and Attila’s Storm, a Grade 3-winning
Forest Wildcat stallion who has sired 10
stakes winners from his first 63 starters.
In addition to operating his own small-
DR. WARREN FRANKLIN
and large-animal practice, Franklin serves as
the attending veterinarian for Sierra Blanca
Equine in Ruidoso Downs, as well as several
small farms in the area. Franklin’s interest in
veterinary medicine has also led to the business
of breeding and racing his own horses.
One of Franklin’s foundation mares,
the late Donna’s Loop, was an unraced
daughter of Smile And Be Happy who
produced six winners from seven starters.
Another of his foundation mares, the late
Olympio mare Olympic Crisis, was given
to Franklin by James Helzer after JEH
Stallion Station shut down. Olympic Spirit
produced four winners from as many
starters, including the multiple stakes
winning Attila’s Storm filly Dashkova.
“I now have daughters of those mares,
and they’re currently the backbone of my
breeding program,” Franklin says.
Franklin is particularly optimistic about
one of his homebreds, Myshipcomesin.
A 2-year-old son of Going Wild and
and Olympic Crisis and a half brother to
multiple stakes winner Dashkova, the colt
is trained by Eric Mikkelson. Franklin also
has horses in training with longtime New
Mexico horseman Emmitt Burelsmith Jr.
“Myshipcomesin hasn’t raced yet so I don’t
know what kind of racehorse he will become,
but I’m impressed by the way he moves,”
Franklin says. “He’s an extremely large colt,
but he moves like a little horse and he’s
very athletic. He’s been extremely trainable,
especially for a colt, and everything from his
dam who’s gone to the track has won.”
Last year, Franklin moved his
established practice from the town of
Glencoe, about eight miles northeast of
Ruidoso Downs, to its current location.
The Franklin Veterinary Clinic offers
portable digital radiography, diagnostic
ultrasound, laser therapy, and reproductive
and dental services for large and small
animals. Franklin and his associate,
Carrizozo, New Mexico native Dr. Lane
Dixon, also make local house calls.
The clinic also features a surgical facility,
which opened about a year ago.
When he’s not doing veterinary work,
Franklin enjoys sports -- including calf
roping, basketball, and snowboarding in
the mountains around Ruidoso -- and
spending time with his adult children:
daughter Dusti Caviness, who currently
works in management at Zia Park
Racetrack in Hobbs, and sons Brand, 26,
and Sky, 23. He also has a grandchild,
Riley Ross Caviness, who celebrated his
first birthday in November.
Franklin’s oldest son, Court, was 23
when he was killed in an accident in Waco,
Texas, in 2007. At the time of his death,
Court Franklin was an engineering student
at Baylor University.
Franklin also enjoys watching his horses
race. One of his homebreds, the 5-yearold Iron Halo (ARG) mare Seanic Halo,
won a non-winners-of-three claiming race
for New Mexico-breds at Zia Park on
November 1. Another, Elijah’s Lyric, is a
3-year-old gelding by Elijah’s Storm who
broke his maiden going 4 1/2 furlongs at
SunRay Park in April.
“I might be a bit of an adrenalin junkie
because I’ve always enjoyed competition,”
he says. “I think I might like it even more
with my homebreds. Don’t get me wrong,
it’s great to buy a horse at a sale and watch
him win races. But for me it’s more of a
thrill to watch a horse I’ve bred and raised
become successful.
“Raising your own horses might not be
the best way to do it economically because
there is a lot of expense and risk involved,
but I like seeing the ones I’ve raised from
the beginning do well on the track,” he
adds. “Honestly, I’m just getting there
with my horses. It’s taken a long time
to get to the point where they’re now
competitive.
“We haven’t had any stakes winners yet,
but that’s what we’re shooting for.”

Sparkling Moolah
“Sparkling Moolah is a runner. The
horse really likes to run,” says trainer
Jimmy Jones of the New Mexico Bred
Quarter Horse that is moving up
quickly on the tracks. “He is a little,
typical two-year-old colt,” continues
Jones. “He plays, and he’s a good
feeling colt, but when you get him on
the track he is all business.”
Sparkling Moolah is considered to
be the best New Mexico Bred Quarter
Horse running today. He is in the race
for Champion Two Year Old Quarter
Horse Colt of the Year in the United
States. No New Mexico Bred has ever
held that title. The award would not
only bring fame to Sparkling Moolah,
it would give New Mexico national
exposure. Sparkling Moolah is a
product of the New Mexico breeding
industry and represents the high
standards of New Mexico breeders.
Jones has been working with
Sparkling Moolah since day one. “I
got him when he was just a little
yearling. He wasn’t broke or anything.
I broke him, and I started him,” says
Jones with the slightest trace of pride
in his voice. Sparkling Moolah was a
May colt. Many people consider a colt
born that late to be at a disadvantage
on the race track. But not Jones, who
says, “Once he gets to the track, he
does what he has to do.”
Sparkling Moolah is owned by Jim
McClintic and Mike Abraham. Jones
credits them with a vital role in the
58 New Mexico Horse Breeder horse’s success. “They were really
confident in us and didn’t make us
run him too early. We started him on
July 13, and the owners were really
cooperative. We aimed him mainly for
Albuquerque.”
Abraham and McClintic almost
didn’t buy Sparkling Moolah. Abraham
says that they “had heard that the
Goodwin farm had some horses for
sale, so we went up to look at the
broodmares. When we were coming
out of the barn I saw three little
weanlings over on the side. One was an

“Wally studied and worked for so
long. Wally was determined to get the
fastest Quarter Horse ever,” says Mrs.
Goodwin. Goodwin had come close
once before with the runner, Deck Of
Heels, but Sparkling Moolah is clearly
the ultimate product of his many years
of work.
Sparkling Moolah was sired by
Sparkling Native, out of Tonita
Moolah, with Raise A Native the
paternal grandsire. Madam Moolah,
the maternal grandam, was owned by
the Goodwins. “Madam Moolah was
calm like Sparkling Moolah,” says Mrs.
Goodwin, referring to the horse’s habi
t
of taking frequent naps and his even
disposition.
“I saw him run at the State
Fair Futurity, and it was absolutely
thrilling,” remembers Mrs. Goodwin.
“He flew. He looked like Pegasus.
Everyone clapped when he entered the
winner’s circle. That is an exceptional
thing, for people to clap for a horse that
was a sure winner. They stood up and
cheered when they didn’t have anything
to gain. The odds were too low.”
Mike Hidinger is the only person
who has ridden Sparkling Moolah aside
from his trainer. “I don’t want anybody
else on him,” states Jones. “Mike fits
the horse really well. There is no use
changing. I don’t know anybody who
could fit him as well as Mike does.
Sparkling Moolah is just a great horse.
He isn’t picky. He’ll run on anything.
I
am really proud,” says Jones.
Sparkling Moolah will apparently
stand in New Mexico. The Horse
Breeders’ Association’s breeding
program provides incentive for people
to breed to a New Mexico bred, and
Trainer Jimmy Jones (inset), and
Sparkling Moolah
Sparkling Moolah should have no
problem staying in the state. “You
know, it is a matter of economics.
When you start getting certain kinds of
offers, it is hard to refuse,” Abraham
says. “But we have enough people in
the state who will support him, and
if we keep horses like this here, it will
really help the breeding industry.”
Sparkling Moolah will spend the
winter racing in California. He will
probably be in the Golden State
Derby in April. The derby decides
who will run in the Champion
of Champions in California next
December. The people involved with
Sparkling Moolah consider this race
to be the highest honor the horse
could receive. Abraham says of the
future, “If he is real successful, it will
probably be his last year to run. He
will probably go to stud in 1982. We
are looking ahead, and there are a lot
of ifs, ands, and buts. We can only
speculate, and hope for the future of
Sparkling Moolah.”

DECEMBER 2014 85
Report from October 2014 NM Racing Commission Meeting
The New Mexico Racing Commission
held its monthly meeting at its
headquarters in Albuquerque on Thursday,
October 16.
New Mexico Horse Breeders’ Association
executive director Anna Fay Davis gave the
commission the race-a-day report for the
first 38 days of The Downs at Albuquerque
meet, which opened August 2. Through
September 28, the track ran 144 New
Mexico-bred races, 86 for Thoroughbreds
and 58 for Quarter Horses. By comparison,
The Downs at Albuquerque carded 129
state-bred races -- 72 for Thoroughbreds
and 57 for Quarter Horses -- during the
first 39 days of its 2013 meet.
An average of 3.79 New Mexico-bred
races per day were run during the first 38
days of the Albuquerque meet, an increase
of 15 percent over the 3.31 state-bred races
per day contested during the first 39 days
of its 2013 season.
Also during the first 32 days of The
Downs at Albuquerque meet, a total of
199 New Mexico-breds competed in open
overnight races, of which 40 (21 percent)
finished first, second, or third. Of this total,
15 were Thoroughbreds and 25 were Quarter
Horses. Bonuses totaling $33,874.40 were
paid to the owners of these horses.
By comparison, 312 state-breds raced
in open overnight races during the first
32 days of the 2013 Albuquerque meet,
of which 94 (31 percent) finished first,
second, or third.
Ms. Davis also gave the commission
the race-a-day report for the first 20
days of the Zia Park meet, which began
September 6. Through October 7, Zia
Park ran 97 New Mexico-bred races, 67
for Thoroughbreds and 30 for Quarter
Horses. By comparison, the track ran 106
state-bred races -- 74 for Thoroughbreds
and 32 for Quarter Horses -- during the
first 20 days of its 2013 season.
An average of 4.85 New Mexico-bred
races per day were run during the first 20
days of the Zia Park meet, a decrease of 10
percent from the average of 5.30 state-bred
races run per day during the first 20 days of
the track’s 2013 season.
“Due to weather problems, we lost a
few New Mexico-bred races during the first
part of the Zia Park meet,” Ms. Davis told
the commission. “If we hadn’t lost those
races, we would likely be closer to even to
the number of New Mexico-bred races we
ran last year.”
86 New Mexico Horse Breeder Also, during the first eight days of
the Zia Park meet, a total of 37 New
Mexico-breds competed in open overnight
races, of which 11 (30 percent) ran first,
second, or third. Of this total, two were
Thoroughbreds and nine were Quarter
Horses. Bonuses totaling $14,565.60 were
paid to the owners of these horses.
During his report to the commission,
New Mexico Horsemen’s Association
executive director Eric Smith introduced
the organizations’s new president, Larry
Nichols of El Paso, Texas. He also told
the commission that the NMHA is in
negotations with management at The
Downs at Albuquerque regarding yearround stabling and training at the track,
which is located at Expo New Mexico, the
state fairgrounds.
John Beech, regional manager of the
Jockeys’ Guild, announced with regret the
death of apprentice jockey Juan Saez, who
died from head injuries he sustained in a
race accident at Indiana Grand Racecourse
on October 14. Saez, 17, won 51 races to
lead all riders during the 2014 Ellis Park
meet at Henderson, Kentucky.
In partnership with the Race Track
Chaplaincy of America, the Jockeys’ Guild
has established a fund to help Saez’s family.
Checks, made out to the RTCA with
the notation “Juan Saez” on the memo
line, can be sent to the following address:
2365 Harrodsburg Road, Suite A-120,
Lexington, KY 40504.
Mr. Beech also thanked The Downs
at Albuquerque and its director of racing,
Don Cook, for its participation of a
jockeys’ visit to the children’s cancer ward
at University of New Mexico Hospital,
which took place in September. Also in
attendance was Tina Arce, administrative
secretary for the commission.
“We’ve had jockeys from other tracks
visit children’s cancer wards at hospitals,
and they visit with the children and bring
them goggles to keep,” Mr. Beech said.
“We are hoping to make these visits an
annual event all around the country.”
Also at the meeting, Ruidoso Downs
general manager Shaun Hubbard requested
the commission to approve changes to
nomination blanks for two of the track’s
three state-bred Thoroughbred futurities, the
Rio Grande Senor Futurity and Rio Grande
Senorita Futurity. Mr. Hubbard said that
Ruidoso Downs would like to move the date
of the finals of these two races from late July
to Labor Day weekend, where they would be
contested in front of larger crowds.
“We have a lot of people at the track on
Labor Day weekend, and a lot of people
throughout the country are focused on
our track because of the other major races
we run that weekend,” Mr. Hubbard
told the commission. “Moving those two
Thoroughbred races to that weekend
would be good for New Mexico racing,
because it would give exposure to our best
2-year-old Thoroughbreds to people all
over the United States.
“It would also help our handle because
it would add two races with large fields to
our race programs,” he added.
Representing the horsemen’s
association, Mr. Smith said that his
organization had an issue with changing
the dates of the trials and finals of the Rio
Grande races after the nomination blanks
had been approved.
“Changing the date would also put the
Rio Grande Senor and Senorita futurities
close to the 2-year-old Thoroughbred
stakes run during the New Mexico State
Fair meet at The Downs at Albuquerque,”
Mr. Smith added.
Commission chairman Robert Doughty
tabled the issue while encouraging the parties
to come to an agreement over the issue.
Also at the meeting:
Dustin Dix, director of racing
operations at Sunland Park Racetrack,
told the commission that management
began working on conditioning the racing
surface on October 5, a week earlier than
it did last year. “I talked to our track
superintendent, and he told me that our
track is in phenomenal shape,” Mr. Dix
added. “We are also hoping to be able to
open the track for training a week earlier
than we did last year.”
Mr. Dix also said that Sunland Park
would replace its 10-cent Solo-6 wager with
a 20-cent Solo Pick-5 wager for its 2014-15
meet, which opens December 5. He added
that, making adjustments to a decreased foal
crop, the track would run 10 races a day,
which was agreed to by the NMHA.
“When we agreed to do this, we also
agreed that we monitor Sunland’s average
field sizes,” Mr. Smith said. “If it’s possible,
we’d like to add an additional race per day.”
“Adding a race per day is also
something we’d like to do, if it’s feasible,”
Mr. Dix added. Notice
Due to the AQHA now using electronic imaging, new registration papers
are created every time a change is made
(such as new ownership, parentage
verification & marking changes).
If your horse was stamped New Mexico Bred,
our seal and registration number will no longer be
on the registration papers.
Please have your reissued registration papers
re-stamped New Mexico Bred as soon as possible to
avoid delays at the racetracks.
There is no charge for this service.

ATTENTION
STALLION OWNERS AND MANAGERS
The New Mexico Horse Breeders’ Association is now requiring all registered
New Mexico Stallions to be EVA Tested, Vaccinated and to get a yearly booster
shot. The certificates for the veterinarians have been mailed out. These must be
returned to our office no later than January 14, 2015. If we do not receive the
completed certificate, the stallion will go INACTIVE and the foals will NOT
BE ELIGIBLE to be registered as New Mexico Breds. There will be a $200.00
reactivation fee for the stallion if the EVA requirements are brought up to date
at a later time and the foals will then be eligible at a higher fee.

Trainer Joel Marr and jockey Alfredo Juarez Jr.
each won four races during Zia Park Racetrack’s
$2-million New Mexico Cup Day program for statebred Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses on Oct. 26.
Marr and Juarez teamed to win the $152,100 New
Mexico Cup Colts & Geldings Stakes with Proceed, a
homebred 3-year-old colt owned by Michael C. Stinson
of Fort Worth, Texas, and the richest Thoroughbred
race on the 12-race program, the $192,720 Rocky
Gulch New Mexico Cup Championship, with That’s
Who, a homebred 5-year-old gelding racing for Sam
and Latane Stevens of Lamesa, Texas.

victories, also sent out Stinson’s Attitude E Racer to win
the $176,500 New Mexico Cup Sprint Championship
for the 3rd consecutive year, and C. Donnell Echols’

Mares Sprint Championship, and he won the 6-furlong,
$151,600 New Mexico Cup Juvenile Filly Stakes with
Twixy Roll for Dale Taylor, Carey Taylor & Jon Hogg.
Primarily due to his success on New Mexico Cup

the week as the outstanding jockey in the opinion of a
panel of industry experts for the week ending Oct. 26.
On the Quarter Horse side, Mad About The Moon

NEW MEXICO CUP 870 CHAMPIONSHIP-R
Mr Houston
Coronas Boy, a homebred 5-year-old Mr
Houston gelding racing for Victor M. Diaz,
successfully defended his New Mexico Cup
870 Championship (R) title at Zia Park on
October 26.
Ridden by Salvador Martinez for trainer
Daniel Cano, Coronas Boy defeated Super
Quintons by 1 1/4 lengths while making
his 870-yard trip in :45.216 and earning
a 92 speed index. The $89,400 winner’s
share of the $149,240 purse pushed his
earnings to $310,243.
“He broke really good, and when
he breaks like this he gives me a chance
to give him a little breather around
the turn,” Martinez said. “He drew
the rail post today, so he was able to
save ground.
“I tapped him a couple of times, and
he had a lot left in the stretch,” added the
rider. “He was still very strong toward the
end of it.”
Coronas Boy is one of two winners
from five starters foaled by the 11-yearold Corona Cartel mare My First Corona.
He is a half sister to Watch For Corona, a
daughter of Royalty On Watch filly who
was a finalist in the July 26, $139,493 Zia
Derby (RG3) for New Mexico-breds at
Ruidoso Downs.
Corona Boy’s third dam, Tinys
Effort, is a winning and graded
stakes placed daughter of 1981 world
champion Special Effort.
Campaigned exclusively in New
Mexico, Coronas Boy has won six of
20 outs, and his race record includes a
6 3/4-length victory in last year’s New
Mexico Cup 870 Championship. The
gelding prepped for this year’s race with a

owner Armando Aldavaz. A sorrel 5-yearold son of Quinton’s Gold, Super Quintons
has won seven of 21 races and has earned
$199,693, and the gelding’s season record
includes a second-place run in the 870-yard,
$60,000 Lobo Championship Stakes (R) at
The Downs at Albuquerque in August.
D E Wagons Strawfly was coming off
of a second-place finish in an 870-yard
race for state-bred $10,000 claiming
company at Zia Park on September 27.
The 5-year-old Genuine Strawfly gelding,
who is owned and trained by Tony Sedillo,
has banked $281,588 from seven races,
and his two career stakes victories include
a 2 1/4-length score in last year’s $50,000
Zia 870 Championship Stakes (R) at
Ruidoso Downs. Coady Photography
victory in an 870-yard, $43,670 opencondition allowance for state-breds at Zia

Stakes at Sunland Park in 2012, and a
second-place finish to D E Wagons Strawfly
in last year’s 870-yard, $85,080 Challenger
Six Handicap (R) at Sunland.
Coronas Boy was sent to post as the
7-2 third choice in the full field of eight
and returned a $9.40 win mutuel. Super
Quintons, the 6-5 favorite, completed a $2
exacta payoff of $17.80.
D E Wagons Strawfly ran third, 1 3/4
lengths behind Coronas Boy, and was
followed by Joey Valentine, Storm Chasor,
Lionett, Kokopellis Babycakes, and Vicente

Runnning Brook Gal, ’11 Zia Derby
(RG2) winner New Mexico Streaker, and

$17,000 at the 2012 New Mexico-Bred
Yearling Sale. Booyah Bay has won three
of 11 outs, and his season record includes
a second-place finish to Too Flash For You
in the February 16, $85,320 New Mexico
Horse Breeders’ Association Stakes (RG2)
for sophomores at Sunland Park.

by Jahaziel Camacho. The stallion has
won six of 18 races, and the $18,100
third-place share of the purse pushed his
bankroll to $159,811. Coady Photography
RCJ Major Storm scored his second
career stakes victory in the October 26,
$181,480 Namehimastreaker New Mexico
Cup Quarter Horse Championship (RG1)
at Zia Park.
Prepped by Alfredo Sanchez for owner
Linnette Sanchez of Andrews, Texas, RCJ
Major Storm went 440 yards in :21.508
and earned a 96 speed index under jockey
Jesse Levario. The 5-year-old stallion’s
margin of victory was one length from
Booyah Bay.
RCJ Major Storm was making his
second start of the Zia Park meet. The
stallion ran second, a half of a length
behind winner Jess Got Issues, in a 350yard, $40,670 New Mexico-bred allowance
dash at Zia Park on September 30.
“I think the difference today was the
change in distance,” said Jorge Sanchez,
the owner’s uncle. “He’s getting more
and more mature, and his lungs have been
getting stronger.
“He’s been doing better and better as
the year has gone on, so we were pretty
confident coming into this race,” he added.
“I won’t say we expected that he’d win, but
we felt he had a good shot.”
The Sanchez family owns and operates 3
Netts Inc., an Andrews-based company that
furnishes vacuum and water trucks for oil
fields. They acquired RCJ Major Storm in a
private sale.
The Sanchezes have been racing horses
for about 15 years. Their runners have
included BP Cartels Miracle, a son of
champion Dean Miracle who ran second in
Rabbit Revival’s 2008 New Mexico Cup

“That was her first race of the year, and
she needed the out,” Carter said. “I wasn’t
able to ride her in the Zia Derby trials and
final because I was riding in Tulsa, but I
was tickled to get reunited with her because
I really feel she’s at the top of her game,

Gilbreath’s accomplishments in Quarter
Horse racing are legendary and include
three All American Futurity (G1) wins and
three All American Derby (G1) victories. He
said that Foxy Moonflash was hauled back
to his farm in Brock, Texas, about 325 miles
east of Zia Park, following her 1 3/4-length
score in the second of three New Mexico
Cup Derby trials on October 12.
“She hauled great -- most of them
don’t, but she does,” Gilbreath said. “We
gave her some light training at the farm,
and when she got back here for the final
she just went in her stall and ate, and then
she went right to sleep. The trip didn’t take
anything out of her at all.”
Foxy Moonflash has won three of her
last four starts, with the only blemish on
her record during that period being a
second-place finish to Mighty Moonflash,
in the July 26, $139,493 Zia Derby (RG2)

Ridden by Sergio Becerra for trainer
Gene Burden, Mad About The Moon
covered his trip in :19.297 while recording
a 97 speeed index. The gelding banked
$139,071 to increase his earnings to
$540,919 for his owner, David G. Valdez
of Odessa, Texas, who acquired the gelding
for $5,000 at last year’s New Mexico-Bred
Yearling Sale at Ruidoso Downs.
Actually, it was Valdez’s teenage daughter
who selected Mad About The Moon.
“When I saw this horse at the sale, there
was just something about him that spoke
to me” said Daniella Valdez, 16, a junior
at Odessa High School. “I’ve always loved
being around animals, and even now I can
tell by the way he looks at me that there’s a
connection between us.
“After I picked him out, my dad said he
really liked his pedigree,” she added. “And
the first time my dad saw him, he told me
that he really liked what he saw.”
Mad About The Moon was bred by
the Sarah Donaldson-Rioux and Larry
Hughes. The gelding’s pedigree starts with
sire First Moonflash, the 2009 AQHA
champion aged stallion and last year’s

J Bar 7 Ranch LLC is a racing
partnership operated by John T.L.
Jones of Quanah, Texas, and Quinn
Scott Simons of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
According to Brenda Jones, John’s wife,
Little Vidalia was a handful when she
was younger.
“When we sent her to the track, she was
sent back to our farm with just one shoe
on her feet,” Brenda Jones recalled. “They
told us they just couldn’t do anything with
her. We sent her to Sleepy Gilbreath and
Jimmy Claridge, and they got her to where
she would stay focused. After they got her
lined out, she’s been great.
“Jimmy Collier has been good with her
too, because he knows how to handle her,”
she added. “She just wants to do what she
wants to do when she wants to do it. We
couldn’t get her to do anything. They just
had to make her think that everything she
did was her idea.”

J Bar 7 Ranch LLC’s Little Vidalia was

The homebred 5-year-old mare’s margin
of victory was 2 1/4 lengths from 22-1

Rio Grande Senorita Futurity (R) at
Ruidoso Downs on July 26. The filly
began her career auspciously, as she won
a 4 1/2-furlong maiden special weight
sprint for state-bred fillies at Sunland Park
on April 8.
“We won’t see her again on the
racetrack until next summer,” said Fincher
of Twixy Roll’s future plans. “She’s been
in training for the past 12 months and she
deserves a break.

“I also don’t see her ever racing around
two turns,” added the trainer. “She’d try,
but at this point we’re not interested in
that for this filly.”
Baby Vamp finished second and was
followed by K B’s Last Danz, Muy Rapido,
Desert Gambler, Hello Texas, Heavens
Lane, Classy Attitude, Free Expression, War
Chic, and Takingthehighroad.

at Ruidoso Downs. Racing for Reliance
Ranches LLC, the bay daughter of the
Gone West stallion Southwestern Heat has

Juvenile Fillies Stakes purse pushed her
earnings to $54,270. Coady Photography
Twixy Roll kept her perfect record
intact following her wire-to-wire, 2
3/4-length victory in the October 26,
6-furlong New Mexico Cup Juvenile
Fillies Stakes (R) at Zia Park.
Racing for Dale Taylor, Carey Taylor,
and Jon Hogg, Twixy Roll set fractions
of :22.91 and :45.44 before she reached
the wire in 1:10.63 under jockey Alfredo
Juarez Jr. The $90,600 winner’s share of
the $151,600 purse increased her earnings
to $205,328.
Ask Twixy Roll’s trainer, Todd Fincher,
what impresses him most about the filly,
and he’ll say it’s her tenacity.
“This is the kind of filly who’d run
through a brick wall,” Fincher said. “She’s
tough, and she’ll run until her feet fall off.
“She didn’t break that well today and
had to rush up early, and usually when
a horse is forced to do that they don’t
finish well,” he added. “But this filly is a
racehorse, plain and simple.”
Twixy Roll was bred by Margaret
duPont and Margaret Bloss. Her sire, Roll
Hennessy Roll, is a Grade 3-winning son
of the Storm Cat stallion Hennessy. Now
14, Roll Hennessy Roll has sired 10 stakes
winners and the earners of more than $4.02
million from 87 starters.
Roll Hennessy Roll is a half brother to

victory against open company in the 1
1/16-mile, $120,220 Mine That Bird
Stakes at Sunland Park, the local prep for
the Grade 3, $800,000 Sunland Derby.
“We considered running him in the
Sunland Derby, but he came out of that
race with a minor problem,” said Marr. “It
was nothing major, but we decided to turn
him out because there was really nothing
for him until this race. We wanted to get a
prep for him before this race, but with all
the rain during the first part of the meet it
didn’t work out.”
Proceed is one of 24 black-type stakes
winners sired by Desert God, an unraced
23-year-old son of Fappiano. Desert God’s

That’s Who, a homebred 5-year-old
gelding, was a prompt 8-5 favorite in
the 1-mile, $192,720 Rocky Gulch New
Mexico Cup Championship (R) at Zia Park
on October 26.
Under jockey Alfredo Juarez Jr., who
rode That’s Who for owners Sam and Latane
Stevens and trainer Joel Marr, the gelding
covered his eight-furlong trip in 1:36.92.
His margin of victory was three-quarters of a
length from longshot Atomic Echo.
The Stevenses, residents of Lamesa,
Texas, have been involved in racing for
45 years. In the early 1980s, Bara Lass,
a homebred daughter of Barachois who
they raised on their Lamesa farm, won six
stakes against the best distaff sprinters in
the country, including the Barbara Fritchie
Handicap (G3) at Bowie Racetrack in
Maryland, and the Santa Monica Handicap
(G3) at Santa Anita.
Another of the Stevenses homebred
runners, the 5-year-old Sligo Bay (IRE)
gelding Ol Winedrinker Who, has also won
six stakes and has earned $448,347 during
his career, which is still underway.
“It’s been a nice run,” said Stevens.
“I’ve had a lot of good trainers, and a
lot of good people involved in my racing
operation, and that’s really what it takes.”
That’s Who is one of seven black-type

jockey Norberto Arroyo Jr., who was riding
the gelding for the first time in his 14-race
career. The $36,000 winner’s share of the

“When this horse was a 2-year-old, I

ever train,” Ross Amestoy said. “But he was
sore, and we never could tell why. We had
him examined from head to toe.
“When he ran in the George Maloof, he
didn’t train at all the two weeks between
his trial and the final,” he added. “He
was probably the best horse in that race,

DOWNS AT ALBUQUERQUE POSTS BIG INCREASES IN PURSES, HANDLE
The Downs at Albuquerque ended
its 54-day Thoroughbred and Quarter
Horse meet on October 26, as the track
recorded large increases in purses and
wagering handle.
A total of $8,962,448 was wagered on
The Downs at Albuquerque’s live racing
product, an increase of 21 percent over
the $7,420,076 wagered on the track’s
races in 2013. Average daily handle on
Albuquerque’s live races reached $165,971,
up 25 percent over the previous year.
Most of The Downs at Albuquerque’s
handle increase came from off-track
wagering. A total of $6,071,472 was bet off
track, an increase of 26 percent over 2013.
“A lot of that increase came from
our races being simulcast to Canada
for the first time,” said Downs director
of race operations Don Cook. “Beth
(McKinney, assistant general manager
and simulcast coordinator) worked to
get our races into Woodbine, and that
connection put us into 11 other offtrack wagering sites in Canada.”
The Downs’ average daily off-track
handle of $112,435 marked a 31-percent
increase over the 2013 average of $85,728.
On-track handle on The Downs’ live
races was up 10 percent, from $2,619,299
in 2013 to $2,890,976 this year. The
track’s average on-track handle reached
$53,537, up 14 percent from last year’s
average of $46,773.
But it was The Downs’ purses that
saw the biggest increase, as the track
paid horsemen a track-record total of
$8,654,954. This marked an 81 percent
increase over the $4,773,338 paid in 2013.
Average daily purses reached $160,276,
nearly double the 2013 average of
$85,238. Much of the purse increase can
be attributed to revenues from The Downs’
new casino, which opened in July 2013.
On-track attendance, as reported to
Equibase, reached 71,122 for 54 dates
(average, 1,317 per day), a decrease of 13
percent from the 2013 on-track attendance
of 82,066 (average, 1,465). The average
daily attendance dropped 10 percent.
“Our attendance in our grandstand
might have been down a little, but a lot of
people played our live races and imported
simulcasts in our First Turn Lounge in our
casino,” Cook said. “These people were on
the grounds, just not in our grandstand.
Also, I think we had a lot more people
watching our races in our First Turn Lounge
outdoor patio this year than last year.”
For 2015, the main Downs at
Albuquerque meet will take place during
the spring months, followed by the
traditional 17-day season in the late
summer during the New Mexico State
Fair. The track will offer 39 days of racing
during its spring meet, April 17-June
21. The State Fair meet will run from
September 11-27.
“We hope to hit a home run with our
spring meet,” Cook said. “This will be
the first time in a while where we haven’t
had other tracks in New Mexico racing
on top of us. We’ll just have a brief threeweek overlap with Ruidoso when they
open in late May.
“And we’ll be racing live during all three
Triple Crown races, which should help our
on-track handle,” he added.
For the 2015 meet, The Downs at
Albuquerque has added $5,000 to the
purses of most of its open stakes races,
making them $55,000 guaranteed. The
purse of the track’s richest Thoroughbred
race, the 1 1/8-mile Downs at
Albuquerque Handicap, has been increased
to $150,000 from $100,000 in 2014.
“We’d like to make that race our
signature race,” Cook said. “We’d like to
eventually get it graded.”
According to Cook, The Downs average
field size stayed strong throughout the
meet. The average field size was 10.2
horses per race in August, and 42 of
the track’s Thoroughbred races offered
12-horse fields.
“We took a little hit when Zia Park
opened in September, and we had a little
more trouble filling some of our higherclass races,” Cook said. “But a lot of
horsemen won races here, and the quality
of our jockey colony was higher than I’ve
ever seen here.
“Our racing secretary, Jim Collins, got
a call from the racing secretary at Santa
Anita, who told him that he’d heard we’d
had a good meet,” Cook added. “The
word has gotten out that the quality of
racing here has improved.” DECEMBER 2014 105

DO YOU NEED TO REGISTER A HORSE WITH THE
NEW MEXICO HORSE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION?
HERE ARE SOME GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW
■Y
ou have to be a current member in order to register any horses. Do this early in the year so you don’t miss out on an issue of
our magazine.
■ Fill out the entire application front and back. If you don’t know the answer to a question, PLEASE FIND OUT.
■ Know who the sire and dam are and have the correct spelling of their names.
■ Was the semen transported? If so it needs to state that on both the horse’s papers and our application.
■P
lease use an Embryo Transfer application if the horse is an Embryo Transfer. Both the Donor Mare and the Recipient Mare have
to be registered with us and stay in New Mexico for the entire pregnancy and foaling. We need to know who both mares are and
where they were kept during the pregnancy.
■D
on’t wait to have papers on the horse to start the registration with us. You can fill out the application as unnamed and pay the
fee before the horse ages and the fee goes up.
■D
on’t forget to send us the papers when you get them to stamp New Mexico Bred. The horse is not a New Mexico Bred until this
has been completed.
■W
hen registering a Broodmare we need a copy of her papers. If this is not possible we will accept a pedigree report. For recipient
mares that have never been papered, we need four photos (front, back, left and right sides).
■W
hen registering a Stallion we need a copy of his papers. If this is not possible we will accept a pedigree report. Make sure
you have the official negative EVA test results from a laboratory and an EVA Certificate filled out by your veterinarian when
registering a Stallion. He cannot be registered without these items.
If you have questions, please call our office at (505) 262-0224 or 1-800-696-4023
