LOS ALAMITOS, CA—MAY 1, 2016—Ron Hartley has another horse to be very proud of at Los Alamitos. The longtime horseman already campaigns the popular champion and multiple Grade 1 winner Moonist and also this year’s Los Alamitos Maiden Stakes winner My Favorite Check.
In the 2-year-old ranks his American Force rates as one of the most impressive juveniles to have raced here this season. Hartley can now add to that list the impressive One Proud Eagle, a gelding by One Famous Eagle which posted the fastest qualifying time to the $428,400 Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity on Sunday at Los Alamitos.
Ridden by Tony Guymon, One Proud Eagle won the first of 11 trials in a time of :15.558 on the way also breaking his maiden in his second career start. Trained by John Cooper, who also conditions Moonist, My Favorite Check and American Force for Hartley, One Proud Eagle came into the race after a trouble third when facing the well regarded Evil Genius and Kindergarten Futurity second fastest qualifier Chazaq on April 8.
"I didn’t know how he would do from the outside post," trainer John Cooper said of One Proud Eagle. "He got roughed up pretty good the last time out. I had pretty good hope for him."
Cooper was happily right to be wrong about One Proud Eagle’s clocking. He’ll go into the rich Kindergarten as the top qualifier. Out of the young broodmare Guy Chasing, One Proud Eagle is a half-brother of the hard-knocking runner Blu Brusier, who hit he board in six races at Los Alamitos.
Hartley, Cooper, and Guymon also joined forces to qualify Jess A Chick Magnet, which was runner-up to second fastest qualifier Chazaq in the eighth race. Dutch Masters III’s Chazaq ran powerfully from the outside post nine while recording a time of :15.594. After the race Dr. James Streelman of Dutch Masters III had some great news to share.
Streelman and Boer decided to team up as owners again during the All American Sale at Ruidoso Dows.
Chazaq comes from an outstanding family. The gelding by Corona Cartel is out of All About Ease, the dam of 2009 Rainbow Futurity winner Zoomin With Ease. She’s also the mother of All N The Jeans, which ran third in the 2010 Kindergarten. All N The Jeans also qualified to the Ed Burke Million Futurity while earning over $120,000 on the track.
