Holy Bucket LLC’s Famous Dungarees on Thursday won the second of five New Mexico Breeders’ Futurity (RG3) trials and posted the fastest qualifying time for the May 30, $75,000-added final.
Sent to post at odds of 12-1, Famous Dungarees defeated 17-10 favorite WR Dash by a neck while covering 350 yards in :17.614 and recording an 87 speed index. Esgar Ramirez rode the Dash Ta Fame gelding for trainer Mike Barber.
Famous Dungarees has won one of three races and has earned $3,972. The gelding was bred by Ron and Kay Jenkins of Los Lunas, New Mexico, and he is one of 579 winners from 1,068 starters sired by Dash Ta Fame, a Grade 1-winning son of First Down Dash whose 16 crops have banked more than $15.6 million and include graded stakes winner and 2006 All American Futurity (G1) runner-up Gun Battle.
Famous Dungarees is one of two winners from three starters foaled by the winning and stakes-placed Now I Know mare Gingham Dungarees. The gelding’s second dam, Gingham N Diamonds, is a winning daughter of the Dash For Cash stallion The Adamas who ran third in the ’94 New Mexico State Fair Senorita Futurity (RG3) at The Downs at Albuquerque.
Second-fastest qualifier WR Dash is a homebred Dash Ta Fame filly racing for Rose Webb of Farmington, New Mexico, and trained by Wes Giles. WR Dash ran eighth, 1 ¾ lengths behind winner Streak Of Sixes, in the April 11, $283,555 New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG1) at Sunland Park.
