Cody Jensen rode favorite Anywhere Bully to a neck victory in Sunday’s $30,000 O.B. Cockerell Handicap at The Downs at Albuquerque.

Owned and trained by Raymond Valerio of Peralta, New Mexico, Anywhere Bully covered 350 yards in :17.340, earning a 101 speed index and tying the 350-yard stakes record established last year by Shurnuf Streakin. The win was the bay 4-year-old Make It Anywhere gelding’s second stakes score, and the winner’s share of the purse increased his earnings to $123,621.

Anywhere Bully was bred in Oklahoma by Bollenbach Farms, and the gelding is one of 27 stakes winners from 193 starters sired by Make It Anywhere, a 12-year-old First Down Dash stallion who won the 2000 PCQHRA Breeders’ Futurity (G1) and ’01 PCQHRA Breeders’ Derby (G2) at Los Alamitos. A half brother to champions Separatist and Way Maker, Make It Anywhere has sired the earners of more than $5.5 million from six crops. He stands for a $4,000 fee at Ronnie Stewart’s Double S Farm at Holland, Texas.

Anywhere Bully’s dam, Miss Bully Bach, is a winning 18-year-old daughter of the Special Effort stallion Bully Bullion. Miss Bully Bach has produced eight winners from 10 starters, including Faster Than Lightnin, a Heza Fast Man gelding who won the 2002 AQRA Turf Paradise Futurity (G3) in Arizona, and Fast Copy Miss, a filly by Heza Fast Man who ran second in the ’06 Four Corners Futurity (G3) at SunRay Park.

Anywhere Bully’s second dam, the R. Smith (TB) mare A Special Smith, produced two stakes winners, including Sassy Smith, a filly by Corona Cartel who won three stakes in 2001, including the Grade 1 Kindergarten and PCQHRA Breeders futurities at Los Alamitos.

Anywhere Bully returned a $5.80 win mutuel as the 19-10 favorite. A $20,000 claimer at SunRay Park last spring, the gelding has won six of 26 races, including last year’s 350-yard, $35,000 Manuel Lujan Handicap (G3) at Albuquerque in a track-record :17.135. His stakes record also includes a second-place finish in the September 18, $55,360 James Isaac Hobbs Stakes (G2) at Zia Park, and he also was a finalist in last year’s Sunland Park Winter Derby (G2) and the 2008 AQHA New Mexico Juvenile Challenge (G3) at Ruidoso Downs.

Cartels First Card ran second and was followed by Safehaven, Zoom To The Money, Hindsights Great, Corona Buena, Shez Mighty Pfind, and Shaboomator.

Cartels First Card banked $6,000 to boost his earnings to $135,425 for his owner, Hugo Barron Sierra of Longmont, Colorado. The 4-year-old gelding by Corona Cartel has won five of 19 races, including the 350-yard, $35,000 Arapahoe Express Stakes at Arapahoe Park on August 21. Campaigned in California last season, Cartels First Card was a finalist in the Los Alamitos Winter (G1), Los Alamitos Super (G1), and PCQHRA Breeders’ (G2) derbies.

Safehaven is a 9-year-old Heza Fast Man gelding owned and trained by Patrick Sanchez of Vadito, New Mexico. A winner of 10 of 55 races, Safehaven is a one-time $6,250 claimer who has earned $152,844. On August 23, the gelding broke Anywhere Bully's 350-yard Albuquerque track record when he won a $13,100 allowance sprint by three-quarters of a length in :17.140.
