Rose’s Desert kept her unbeaten record for the 2011 season intact after her magnificent win in the New Mexico State Racing Commission Handicap
The homebred three-year-old filly, Rose’s Desert, on 11 December, 2011, missed the Sunland Park’s track record by 83/100ths of second when she ran for the $110,000 New Mexico State Racing Commission Handicap in the field of 10 fillies at about six furlongs.
Joe Peacock’s Rose’s Desert was let loose by her usual jockey, Juan Ochoa for trainer Todd Fincher, swinging off the stretch to unleash a powerful run to win the three-quarter-mile trip in 1 minute and 8.84 seconds.
The dark bay filly is the daughter of Desert God, out of mare Miss Glen Rose by Peaks and Valleys, and she was sent to the post as the 7 to 5 favourite and has now turned in 4 starts into 4 victories in the 2011 season and over all the filly has made 5 starts,
with 4 wins and a lone second with the life time career earnings of $217,885 out of which $212,760 earned this year alone.
The lone start she in 2010 was an attempt to break her maiden and get her juvenile season on track, but Rose’s Desert failed to achieve the target as she fell short at second place at Sunland Park on 28 December, 2010.
She kicked off her sophomore season with a win in the maiden special weight at second asking at Zia Park, followed by another win in an allowance race also held at Zia Park on 17 September, 2011.
Todd Fincher trainer 3-year-old filly entered the stakes races with a win in the Peppers Pride New Mexico Classic Cup Championship Fillies and Mares Stakes on 30 October, 2011, where she defeated King’s Water Lilly in second and Elvira Who in third with
the winning time of 1 minute and 38.24 seconds.
In the New Mexico State Racing Commission Handicap, Rose’s Desert defeated a 34 to 1 longshot, Dream Kin, who finished 3 ¼ lengths off the leader.
Comicsperfectstorm finished third behind Dream Kin, and the fourth place was a dead heat between Cali Baby and Soaring Goddess.
Comicsperfectstorm was coming off a 1 ¾ length victory in the $150,480 New Mexico Cup Filly Championship at Zia Park on October 30
