Favorite PK Bay Wins Gwendolyn Eaves Stakes
RSS Feeds Monday, August 01, 2011
Jockey G.R. Carter Jr. rode PK Bay to a one-length victory in Monday's $20,000 Gwendolyn Eaves Overnight Stakes (R) for New Mexico-bred 2-year-olds at Ruidoso Downs.

Saddled by Fred Danley for owners David Barrett and Sue H. May, PK Bay covered 400 yards in :19.707 and returned a $5 win mutuel as the 3-2 favorite. The $12,000 winner's share of the purse increased the chestnut gelding's earnings to $63,848.

PK Bay was bred by Dirk Jones. The gelding's dam, Brookstone Bay, is a 10-year-old son of all-time leading sire First Down Dash who won the 2004 First Down Dash Handicap (G3) at Los Alamitos Racecourse. Racing from 2003-05, Brookstone Bay ran second in AQHA world champion Be A Bono's '05 Vessels Maturity (G1), and he was a finalist in the Grade 1 All American and Los Alamitos Winter derbies.

Brookstone Bay's top runners include Runnning Brook Gal, the winner of the 2009 All American Futurity (G1) and that season's AQHA champion 2-year-old, and Fillemup Phil, a gelding who won last year's $102,950 Blue River Derby (R) for state-breds at Indiana Downs. The brown stallion is owned by Jim Helzer and Chad Richard and stands for a $5,000 fee at JEH Stallion Station at Hondo, New Mexico.

PK Bay's dam, PK Rainbow, is an unraced 8-year-old daughter of Rabbits Rainbow.

Racing exclusively in New Mexico, PK Bay has won two of five races, and his stakes resume includes a second-place finish to Osbaldo in the April 10, $248,491 New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG2) at Sunland Park.

Southern Call ran second to complete a $2 exacta payoff of $24.40. Bridgestone, Takin Back, Untangled Vines, Callmy Southerndream, Dream Southern, Eye Am Blazin, and Reckless Wind.

A sorrel gelding by Southern Corona racing for the partnership of Hubbard, Zelt, Lewis, Rushing, and Guillory, Southern Call has banked $6,558 from four races. The gelding was coming off of third-place finish to Takin Back in a Zia Futurity (RG1) trial on July 15.

Bridgestone has earned $20,870 and has won one of six starts for his owner, Jimmy R. Slover. The sorrel gelding by Brookstone Bay won a 350-yard Mountain Top Futurity (RG2) trial as the 11-10 favorite on June 3.

The Gwendolyn Eaves Overnight Stakes serves as a consolation for the $384,040 Zia Futurity, which was contested on Sunday. The race honors the memory of the late Mrs. Eaves, a resident of Midland, Texas, who for many years was one of the top breeders of racing American Quarter Horses. Her top homebreds include 1999 All American Futurity winner A Delightful Dasher.
