Earns $491,902 in Winning Texas’ Richest Horse Race GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009) – Jose Trevino’s Tempting Dash, trained by Eusevio Huitron, kept his perfect mark intact in winning the $1,105,397 Texas Classic Futurity (Grade 1), for two-year-olds, over a fast track at Lone Star Park on Saturday night. With jockey Julian Cantu in the saddle, the California-bred, two-year-old son of First Down Dash broke smartly and never had an anxious moment while dominating his nine opponents in covering the 400-yard distance in 19.205 seconds, a new track record, earning a speed index of 111. Jessazoom finished 2 ¾ lengths back in second, a half-length in front of third-place finisher Fire and Corona . “That was awesome, that was awesome,” said winning owner Jose Trevino. “We were expecting him to run big, but we weren’t expecting something like this, to break the track record like this.” “The only thing I was worried about was him being anxious in the gate, but after that, all this horse wants to do is run and he has a big heart,” said winning jockey Julian Cantu. In securing the top prize in the richest race in Texas horse racing, Tempting Dash earned $491,902 to increase his career earnings to $673,970, while improving his race record to four for four, with all of his wins at the Lone Star Park 2009 Fall Meeting of Champions. Tempting Dash paid $2.80, $2.80 and $2.20, Jessazoom returned $30.00 and $15.20, and Fire and Corona paid $2.80 to show. Completing the order of finish were Chi Ter, Illegal Fireworks, Mark it Famous, Jess For You, Shake Em Special Pop, Ms Athenas Dividend, and Justzoomin. Lone Star Park’s 28-day, 2009 Quarter Horse Fall Meeting of Champions, which began on September 25, concluded on Saturday, November 28.
