Dasher's Late Sprint Wins All American Futurity
RUIDOSO DOWNS -- The outlaw horse with an attitude stole the biggest sprint in quarter horse racing.
A Delightful Dasher, who reminds his owner of ''a teen-age boy with a black leather jacket,'' prevailed in a stirring three-horse match race Monday to win the 41st running of the $2 million All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs.
The 2-year-old gelding with a penchant for kicking and biting anyone within range, ran down the filly Significant Speed and the previously undefeated Chicks Call Me.
A Delightful Dasher took the lead in the final strides and finished a head in front of Chicks Call Me, who also caught Significant Speed just before the wire.
The win was worth $1,040,145 to owner Gwendolyn Eaves of Midland, Texas.
