J. Martin Bourdieu rode RGR Lyon A Tac to a wire-to-wire, three-quarters of a length victory in the second of five New Mexico State Fair Senor Futurity (RG3) trials at The Downs at Albuquerque on Friday.
Saddled by Wes Giles for owners David Hinkins and Ross Hinkins, RGR Lyon A Tac covered 400 yards in :19.579 and posted the fastest qualifying time for the $40,000-added final on September 25. The homebred gelding has earned $41,248 from two wins in seven outs, and his stakes resume to date includes a second-place finishes to WR Aces Fame in the 350-yard, $172,100 New Mexico Breeders’ Futurity (RG2) at SunRay Park on May 30.
RGR Lyon A Tac’s sire, Stormin’ Lyon (TB), is a 9-year-old son of the Storm Cat stallion Storm Boot who raced from 2003-05 and whose five wins in 13 starts included the 2004 Harry Henson Stakes at Sunland Park and the ’05 Bullet Stakes (R) at Hollywood Park in a turf-course record :55.62 for 5 furlongs. The gelding’s dam, Six Tac, is an 18-year-old stakes-winning daughter of champion Tolltac who has produced six winners from seven starters.
Second-fastest qualifier Primvvera won the fifth trial by a head for owner Dominic Duree, who also trains the chestnut Stel Corona gelding.
