A sharp break from post 1 helped Woody Dungarees score a 1 ½-length victory in Sunday’s $75,000 SunRay Park Firecracker Stakes (R) for New Mexico-bred 3-year-old fillies at SunRay Park.

Saddled by Mike Barber for owner Holy Bucket LLC, Woody Dungarees covered 400 yards in :19.185 under jockey Alonso Rivera, who has ridden the filly in seven of her 10 starts. The clocking was good for a lifetime-best speed index of 104.

“She broke good,” said Rivera. “This is a filly who seems to be getting better every time out.”

Woody Dungarees was bred by Ron and Kay Jenkins of Los Lunas, New Mexico, and the filly became the third stakes winner from 48 starters sired by Woodbridge, an unraced son of the First Down Dash stallion Dash Ta Fame. Now 11, Woodbridge is a full brother to Grade 1 winner and one-time world record holder Kendall Jackson, and he is a half brother to Alice K White, last year’s champion 3-year-old filly.

Woodbridge’s five crops have earned more than $632,000, and Woody Dungarees represents his top earner. The stallion stands for a $1,000 fee at Mac Murray and Janis Spencer Murray’s MJ Farms at Veguita, New Mexico.

Woody Dungarees is one of two winners from three starters produced by Gingham Dungarees, a winning and stakes-placed 9-year-old daughter of the Magnificence stallion Now I Know. The filly’s half brother, Famous Dungarees, ran third in this year’s New Mexico Breeders’ Futurity (RG2) at SunRay.

Woody Dungarees’ second dam, Gingham N Diamonds, is a winning 18-year-old mare by the Dash For Cash stallion The Adamas who ran second in the 1994 Clovis Classic Futurity (R) at Ruidoso Downs and third in that season’s New Mexico State Fair Senorita Futurity (RG3) at The Downs at Albuquerque.

Woody Dungarees has won four races, and the $45,000 winner’s share of the Firecracker Stakes purse increased her earnings to $109,760. The filly was coming off of a 1 ¾-length victory in a 350-yard allowance race on June 10, and her stakes record includes a runner-up finish in last year’s New Mexico State Fair Senorita Futurity (RG3) at The Downs at Albuquerque, and a third-place run in last season’s New Mexico Breeders’ Futurity (RG2) at SunRay.

Sixy Chamisa, the 3-5 favorite, ran third and was followed by Little Bit Southern, Gold Diggin Reason, Eleven To Seven, and Frosties Corona.

Sixy Chamisa earned $16,500 to push her bankroll to $240,413 for her owner, SM Cattle Export Co. of Socorro, Texas. The gray daughter of Sixes Royal has won seven of 12 races, including the April 17 Sunburst Stakes (R) at Sunland Park and last year’s $150,000 New Mexico Breeders’ Futurity.

A homebred bay filly by Southern Corona racing for Richard and Patricia Shearer of Portales, New Mexico, Little Bit Southern earned $7,500. The filly, who broke her maiden for a $10,000 tag at Sunland Park on January 24, has banked $40,203 from 11 starts, and she ran second, a half of a length behind winner Seven Coronas, in last year’s New Mexican Spring Fling Stakes (R) at Sunland.
