By Ty Wyant Back in 1959 – when a gallon of gas cost a quarter and you could go to a movie for a buck –the All American Futurity was first run and the race’s purse caused quite a buzz. “Did you hear? Those folks up at Ruidoso are starting a futurity and they’re running at a hundred-andtwenty-nine-thousand bucks.” “What was that?” “Yep, one hundred and twenty nine thousand.” Nobody had ever raced a Quarter Horse for that much money. It was a time when a race with a purse of $100,000 or more gained elite status because it could be called “a hundred grander.” Quarter Horse racing had its first hundred grander and the sport would never be the same. From that first dash won by Galobar, the All American Futurity has been the Quarter Horse race that changes the lives of winning owners, trainers and jockey. The winners form an elite club and more than a few horsemen have stayed in the game trying to gain that elusive All American Futurity victory. The All American Futurity has set many milestones. Moon Lark won the first All American Futurity with a $1-million purse and then Mr Master Bug took the first running with a $2-million purse. They were each trained by Jack Brooks, winner of a record eight All American futures. Imagine. Here is this race that horsemen spend years trying to win
once and Jack has won it eight times. Little wonder his statue is in the saddling paddock. This year’s All American Futurity reaches yet another milestone. The purse is up to $2.4 million and the winner takes $1.2 million. The total purse makes the All American Futurity the richest 2-year-old horserace for any breed in North America. The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies for Thoroughbreds each carry a $2 million purse. Also, the winner’s share is an all-time record for a Quarter Horse race. This year’s race is a stepping stone to another record. In 2013, when this year’s foals are 2-year-old racehorses, the purse will be $2.6 million with $1.3 million going to the winner. The All American Derby is also showing no signs of being affected by the economy. Like the All American Futurity, horsemen have stepped up and helped build the All American Derby into an iconic race with record purses. A year ago, the All American Derby set an all-time record with a $1.5 million purse and this year’s purse of $1.3 million is the third-highest purse in the race’s 37 renewals. Last year’s record won’t last long though. Projections for next year’s All American Derby indicate that the purse could reach $1.8 million. Times have sure changed since 1959. But, one thing about the All American Futurity has not changed. Folks are still buzzing.

Lovin’ Spoonful
brings ‘Good Time Music’ to the Spencer In early 1965, a couple of New York rockers joined forces with a couple of New York folkies to counter the “British invasion” that was dominating the American music scene. The result was the Lovin’ Spoonful, a chart-topping quartet that combined the best of folk music and rock n’ roll with a touch of country to make tunefully sweet songs with staying power. In a short five-year span of time, they gave us such hits as “Do You Believe in Magic,” “Daydream,” “You Didn’t Have to be So Nice,” “Darlin’ Be Home Soon,” “Never Goin’ Back,” “She’s Still A Mystery to Me,” “Nashville Cats” and that great anthem for a hot July evening, “Summer in the City.” Additionally, when still pretty much youngsters in their careers, they wrote and performed two soundtrack albums for two directors, Woody Allen “What’s Up Tigerlily” and Francis Ford Cop-
pola “You’re a Big Boy Now,” and later wrote the theme song for the hit TV series “Welcome Back Kotter.” In their prime, the Lovin’ Spoonful toured almost constantly and were one of the first rock bands to perform on college campuses as frequently as they did in arena stage appearances. Since reuniting in 1991, the band (now a quintet) has toured hundreds of cities and countries worldwide and continuously reach new audiences with their stellar string of classics, all easily dubbed “Good Time Music.”

Inthegate.net will be featuring video profiles on all of the qualifiers for this year’s $2.4-million All American Futurity (Grade 1) and $2.2-million All American Derby (Grade 1) at Ruidoso Downs Racetrack. For the third consecutive year, the profiles will be produced and hosted by Tom Dawson, owner of Mirage Media Inc. and a longtime Quarter Horse racing television personality who has produced more than 500 live remote telecasts. Dawson’s human-interest profile on 2011 All American Futurity finalist Lotta Love For Robyn took second place in the Online Equine-Related Video category at the American Horse Publications awards banquet, held June 2 in Williamsburg, Va. “This will be the first year that we’ll be producing video profiles on all 20 of the All American Futurity and Derby qualifiers,” Dawson said. “The past two years, we’ve looked for human-interest stories on a few of the qualifiers, but this year we decided to expand our scope. They will be posted well in advance of the finals to give fans a capsule look at the entire field for each race.” The All American Futurity and Derby are both contested at the classic Quarter Horse racing distance of 440 yards, and they are the sport’s richest races for 2- and 3-year-olds,
respectively. The history of the Futurity dates back to its first running in 1959, when Galobar earned the winner’s share of a $129,686 purse. In 1978, the Futurity became the world’s first $1 million horse race, predating the Arlington Million Stakes for Thoroughbreds by three years. The All American Derby began in ‘74. This year’s total purse of $2.2 million will be a stakes record, and the winner of the race will earn a berth in the Dec. 15, $750,000 Champion of Champions (Grade 1) at Los Alamitos Racecourse in Orange County, Calif. This year’s All American Derby will feature three 3-year-olds who also raced in last year’s All American Futurity, including Lotta Love For Robyn, Bills Last and Futurity winner Ochoa. In addition to Inthegate.net, the video profiles will also be accessible from the AQHA racing website (www. aqharacing.com), Ruidoso Downs Racetrack & Casino (www.raceruidoso. com), SureBet Racing News (www.surebetracingnews.com) and Ruidoso Free Press (www.ruidosofreepress.com). The 2012 All American Futurity and Derby profiles are sponsored in part by Lazy E Ranch of Guthrie, Okla.; the Heritage Place Sale Company of Oklahoma City; and La Quinta Inn and Suites in Ruidoso Downs and SureBet Racing News.

Airing of the Quilts at Sanctuary on the River a big success Plans for the 2012 Airing of the Quilts Ruidoso Quilt Show are underway, and it is going to be even bigger and better than the 2011 show. Sanctuary on the River will again host the event that is directed by members of the “Stash Sisters” Quilt Group.” It will be held on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1 and 2. Last year’s show was a tremendous success, bringing in vendors from across New Mexico and offering classes in some of the many facets of the quilting arts. The 2012 show promises to be an even better one featuring more vendors coming in from New Mexico, Colorado and Texas. The Stash Sisters are dedicated to building the quilting community here and bringing about an understanding that Ruidoso is an artists’ destination for all forms of art, including quilting. Attendees will be extremely impressed with the uniqueness of the show and with the serenity they feel walking among the quilts hung from the rafters of Sanctuary’s beautiful pavilion. Quilts are protected from the elements, and can be observed in the natural glow of outdoor lighting. This is an ideal venue for an event of this nature, and it is widely felt that this show is going to become a nationally known tourist attraction for the village. As noted, this year even more vendors have been added, giving patrons access to thousands of bolts of beautiful fabric, quilt patterns and quilt stands. Classes will again be offered, and early sign-up is recommended as space is limited. Free demonstrations and trunk shows presented by many vendors and professional designers will also take place in the gazebo area of the grounds throughout
both days of the show. Documented antiquities attributed to this art form have been around since early Egyptian times. They range in nature from utilitarian quilts to those meant for purely decorative purposes. In 2012, four categories of quilts will be hung for viewing: Large bed-sized quilts, Medium, Small, and Mini quilts. Viewers will be given the opportunity to vote on their favorite quilt in each category and prizes will be awarded at the end of the show. Door prizes of basketed items donated by vendors and quilt group members will be drawn each day. A silent auction that will include, among other things, oneof-a-kind quilted items, will also be held. In addition, the Ruidoso New Mexico Centennial Quilt will be on display and raffle tickets for the quilt will be sold to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation. The quilt was designed by Vicki Arnold, professional quilt designer with Sew Many Visions Pattern Company. It was quilted by Vivian Lucas, another local resident, and professional long-arm quilter. Every aspect of New Mexican culture was included in this queen-sized wall hanging, and the motifs, colors, and quilting make it a piece that anyone would love to hang in their home. Several
members of the Stash Sisters quilt group of Ruidoso did the appliqué on the quilt. The Little Bear Fire of 2012 has presented a horrendous challenge to the community and its residents who lost homes and precious belongings that often included quilts handed down in families for generations. Other communities within New Mexico and Texas who have survived similar disasters have donated quilts. The Stash Sisters will present these quilts to certified survivors of the Little Bear Fire during the quilt show Sept. 1 and 2. The quilts come in all shapes, sizes and colors. There are quilts for babies, youth, lap quilts and bed-sized quilts. Ruidoso and the Stash Sisters cannot thank the generous quilters
of Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Sierra Vista, Alamogordo, El Paso and the Ruidoso community for sharing their creations. Residents of Ruidoso and surrounding communities with quilts to donate are invited to contact Louise Estep, Quilt Show co-chair, at 575-258-1928. The Stash Sisters will find just the right home for donations.

The old west rides again in Carrizozo By Sandi Aguilar with excerpts from carrizozostreetfair.org/cowboy-days As the morning sun climbs above the Sacramento Mountains chasing the gray twilight shadows across the prairie floor, the momma cows can be heard calling to their young “come on… keep up.” It’s “Round-up Time” again on Shafer Ranch north of Carrizozo on Highway 54. You’re invited. All of you. As it has been done for over a century, cowboys round up and punch the cattle to holding pens in preparation for shipping them to market. Using the same skills practiced by their fathers and the fathers before them, cowboys mounted on their cow horses will find the cattle in their favorite hiding places and chase them out to join the main body of cattle. All the folks rush to the rail fence and search the horizon until they find the tiny figures of cowboys chasing momma cows, steers and doggies
across the horizon. The break of dawn, the strong, grainfilled coffee, and respect of the cowboy tradition can be experienced first hand during Cowboy Days on Monday, Sept. 3 at 7 a.m. at Shafer Ranch. Then, winding up the day’s activities – of a parade and street fair – is a rip-roaring Ranch Rodeo. Differing from a traditional rodeo, the ranch rodeo is about what it takes to work the cattle and honing those skills. Teams of cowboys will display their skills at 3 p.m. at the Hemphill Arena by competing against each other in events like wild cow milking, cattle branding, cattle penning, trailer loading, and wild cow doctoring. Carrizozo, rich in the traditions of the past still living in the present brings Carrizozo Cowboy Days in conjunction with the Carrizozo Street Fair on Labor Day weekend.

18X pilots graduate from AF’s first MQ-9 Basic Course
By Senior Airman Siuta B. Ika 49th Wing Public Affairs HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, — Student pilots participating in the Air Force’s first MQ-9 Reaper Basic Course received their wings during a ceremony at the base theater Aug. 16. This marks the first time a student pilot in the Air Force Specialty Code 18X has completed the MQ-9 Basic Course without having been previously qualified in a manned aircraft. The basic course mirrors traditional Undergraduate Pilot Training, but also has some differences specific to the MQ-9 platform, said Lt. Col. Nathan Hansen, 29th Attack Squadron commander. “There’s extra time built into the syllabus to allow the students to get more practice, because they have to learn techniques they’ve never used before,” Hansen said. “A significant difference and the reason why we can teach someone how to do this that doesn’t have any prior aircraft experience, is because they will never come in contact with the Earth with the aircraft.” Not having to focus on the launch and recovery aspect significantly cuts the amount of training time, which could account for 75 percent of training at traditional UPT, Hansen added. “We are here at Holloman for about six months, but we start at Randolph Air Force Base [Texas] then go to Pueblo, Colo., for initial flight screening, and then we go back to Randolph for instrument simulator training,” Chad said. Chad, like many of his

classmates, is new to the operations side of the flying world. “I’m a former logistics and maintenance officer, so this is very exciting, and a privilege because there were many people before us that paved the way,” he said. “The main thing I’m excited about is to go on to my operational unit to be fully trained, so ultimately, I can contribute to the fight.” No matter what background the student pilots come from, they will now be part of “the tip of the spear,” Hansen said. “Those wings on your chest mean that you now have a responsibility to lead your crew in accomplishing the mission in defending America’s freedom,” Hansen said during the graduation ceremony. “This is a pretty significant responsibility and a sacred calling. When you’re at the controls of the aircraft, you’re the aircraft commander, so the buck stops with you.
