Streak Of Sixes Gets Second Stakes Win in Mountain Top Futurity
RSS Feeds Sunday, June 20, 2010

Streak Of Sixes got back on the winning track in Sunday’s 350-yard Mountain Top Quarter Horse Futurity (RG2) for New Mexico-bred 2-year-olds at Ruidoso Downs.

Racing for Peter and Marjorie Gallegos of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, and trained by Juan Gonzalez, Streak Of Sixes covered 350 yards in :17.389 while pinning a 1 ¼-length defeat on runner-up New Mexico Streaker. The sorrel filly posted her fourth win in five starts, and the winner’s share of the stakes-record $254,408 purse increased her earnings to $274,938.

Streak Of Sixes was bred by Sam and Karen Tanner, and the filly is one of two stakes winners from 139 starters sired by Sixes Royal, a 9-year-old son of champion Royal Quick Dash who won the 2004 Texas Classic Derby (G1) at Lone Star Park. The Texas-bred stallion, whose half brother Four Six Dash won the 870-yard Pauls Valley Handicap (G3) at Remington Park in ’99, has sired the earners of more than $1.7 million from three crops. He stands for a $2,000 fee at W.L. Mooring’s Double LL Farm at Bosque, New Mexico.

A half sister to 2009 New Mexican Spring Fling Stakes (R) winner Seven Coronas, Streak Of Sixes is also one of three winners from as many starters foaled by the winning Major Rime mare Perfect Sevens. Now 10, Perfect Sevens is a full sister to Eight Fortunes, a gelding by Major Rime who ran second in Chicks A Dashin’s 2005 New Mexico State Fair Senor Futurity (RG3) at The Downs at Albuquerque.

Streak Of Sixes began her career with a three-race win streak that included the 300-yard, $283,555 New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG1) in a track-record :14.994 at Sunland Park on April 11. She entered the final of the Mountain Top, which was run as the Ruidoso Horse Sale Futurity from 2004-09, with a third-place finish in her June 4 trial, in which she recorded the ninth-fastest qualifying time.

The fastest qualifier, runner-up New Mexico Streaker finished a half of a length in front of third-place Strait Away Fame. Oh Classy Corona, Reckless Lane, Portell Regard, Merryvale, Little Bit Corona, Brooksy, and Takin Chick completed the order of finish.

A brown gelding by Brookstone Bay racing for a partnership, New Mexico Streaker earned $40,705 to take his bankroll to $56,055. The gelding has won two of three races, including the first of seven Mountain Top trials on June 4.

Strait Away Fame banked $20,989 for his owner, Juan Esquivel of El Paso, Texas. The sorrel maiden colt by Dash Ta Fame has earned $21,809 from three starts.
