This weekend at Ruidoso Downs The first Grade 1 weekend at Ruidoso Downs provides record-setting purses for the $822,000 Ruidoso Derby on
Pull-out section
Saturday and the $750,000 Ruidoso Futurity on Sunday. Racing runs Friday through Monday with a 1 p.m. first post time. There is always free parking and free general admission at Ruidoso Downs.
Record-breaking races to run this weekend By Todd Fuqua Sports Editor todd@ruidosofreepress.com Humans can’t predict what will happen the next day, much less the next hour – something which makes betting on horse racing seem like a fool’s errand much of the time. Jockey Esgar Ramirez doesn’t see it that way. Of course, he wouldn’t, having ridden the fastest qualifiers to this year’s Ruidoso Derby and Futurity – races which will be run June 8-9 at Ruidoso Downs Race Track. Ramirez was on board One Quick Eagle when the horse covered 350 yards in 17.255 seconds on May 24 during the Ruidoso Futurity trials. He was also lucky enough to be astride Charvet in the Ruidoso Derby trials the following day in the final Ruidoso Derby trial. The gelding raced to a 19.151-second time – both the fastest on the day and the fastest Ruidoso Downs had ever seen at 400 yards. Not only were both horses ridden
by Ramirez, they’re both owned by Crowson Racing and trained by Victor Rodriguez-Flores. Is there any pressure to do well knowing you have the fastest horses in the mix and are running for the same boss? “I’m not too nervous, every race is different,” Ramirez said. “There’s always a little emotion for the horse’s connections, but when you have the fastest qualifier, the expectations are higher. If we win, we win.” Ramirez is smart and experienced enough to know that the Derby – to be run June 8 – and the June 9 Futurity aren’t coronation races for his charges, no matter how fast and talented they may be. There are still nine others in the running for the record purses in each race. The Futurity tops out at $750,000 this year, with $315,000 going to the winner, while the lion’s share of the Derby’s $822,603 purse is $345,493 – both records for the Ruidoso Derby. One Quick Eagle’s strongest
competitor will likely be Strategic Weapon, a gelding owned and bred by Johnny Trotter which ran 17.327, just behind One Quick Eagle coming out of the same trial. The two were locked in competition in a schooling race two weeks before. The horse closest to Charvet’s time is A Dream To Remember, trained by Paul Jones and owned by R.D. Hubbard, Johnny Cope and
Butch Southway. The filly stopped the clock at 19.205 – more than one-tenth of a second slower than Charvet. In a race going 400 yards, that can seem like a mile. “Being the fastest doesn’t mean much until we run the race,” Ramirez said. “When the training is good, you just ride the best you can. With a little bit of luck – if these horses run well – they could win both races.”

Vernissage heads three trials to Mountain Top Futurity
Gary Thompson’s homebred Vernissage, second in the Copper Top Futurity Colt an Gelding Division, returns to head the three trials to the $167,000 Mountain Top Thoroughbred Futurity on Friday afternoon at Ruidoso Downs. The five-furlong trials will run as the sixth through the eighth races on the nine-race card. The top-three finishers in each trial will be joined by a fourth-place horse who wins a shake (a blind draw) in the 10-horse futurity for New Mexico-breds. Vernissage is still a maiden, yet has already proven himself with a very close second in his Copper Top trial and then making a late surge to gain second in the Copper Top Futurity, beaten by three quarters of a length. Trainer Bart Hone has named Miguel Hernandez to ride Vernissage with the second post position. Vernissage will be challenged by Solitaire Stables’ Devilish Beast in the first trial. The Henry Dominguez-trained colt comes off an impressive fivelength maiden win over the Ruidoso Downs track. Enrique Gomez rides Devilish Beast with the fifth post position. The second trial is wide open with FM Forty One the probable choice. The Todd Fincher-trained gelding won a maiden race at Sunland Park in his only start.

This information, including starts and winning percentage, can be found in most past performance products, including TrackMaster and Daily Racing Form. 3. When looking at horses that have had previous starts, consider the competition they’ve run against. For example, if they’re coming out of a maiden or trial win, did any of the horses they beat come back and win their next out? TrackMaster Quarter Horse past performances include class ratings which make it easier for handicappers to gauge the level of competition horses have faced in previous races, though these class ratings are more accurate with 3-year-olds, as most 2-year-olds haven’t established class form this time of year.

Exotic wagering made easy There are two basic types of horse-racing bets - straight bets and exotic bets. The first article in this series, Five easy steps to place your first horse racing bet introduced straight bets including WIN, PLACE and SHOW. This article introduces the reader to EXOTIC bets which fall into two very distinct categories – single-race bets and multi-race bets. This week’s article covers the single-race bets: Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and Superfectas. These exotic bets allow for multihorse wagering on individual (single) races. • Exacta: The simplest single-race exotic bet, the Exacta requires the bettor to predict the winning horse and the second-place horse, ‘exactly’ in order. The Exacta bet will pay more than betting either of the horses individually to win or place. • Quinella: Similar to the Exacta, but the Quinella does not require the bettor to predict the order of the first two horses. The bettor has to predict the horses which will finish in the top two places, but does not have to predict which of those two will actually win the race. The Quinella is easier to predict than an Exacta, and also pays less than the Exacta, generally about half of the Exacta payout. • Trifecta: The Trifecta is similar to the Exacta but takes it a step further. It requires the bettor to predict the horses that finish in the top 3 positions in the race in order.
Much harder to predict than an Exacta, and will pay out much more. • Superfecta: The most difficult of the single-race exotics, the Superfecta, requires the bettor to predict the first four finishers, in order. Picking a winning Superfecta is difficult but very profitable. Players who specialize in exotic wagers generally take different combinations of horses rather than a ‘straight’ bet of only one combination. Choosing several possible combinations of horses increases the chances of winning. For example, a ‘boxed’ wager allows you to take every possible combination of a set of horses. If you a ‘key’ a horse, you are taking the horse to win and then take several horses in combination to finish second, third, etc. The bettor can also pick individual horses and then ‘wheel’ the remaining horses. An example – if you like the #1 horse to win but want to bet an Exacta – bet “1/ALL” where you pick the #1 horse to win and any (ALL) of the remaining horses in the race to finish second. Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and Superfectas are now available on almost every race at most major simulcast tracks. Exotic wagering offers the serious race horse handicapper the potential for large and even life-changing payouts, and now accounts for nearly 65 percent of all money wagered on horse racing.
