AURORA, CO—MAY 28, 2017—Flare For Ivory set a new track record when he defeated Live To Love Candy by a neck in the $14,550 Dash For Speed Stakes (not black type) at Arapahoe Park on Sunday. Stormy Red Morning was a head back in the blanket finish to finish third.
Ridden by jockey Tanner Thedford, Flare For Ivory completed the 300 yards in :15.432 seconds, a 104 speed index, a new course record for Arapahoe Park.
"He wasn’t standing the best that I was hoping for, and when the gates kicked he kind of stumbled a little bit leaving there," Thedford said. "But when I picked him up and asked him, he just did to his task and pulled away on them."
The previous record of :15.650 seconds was established August 31, 1996, 21-years-ago by Flew Bye A Winner.
Trainer Jose Barron saddled the Ivory James 4-year-old for owner's Hugo Barron Sierra and Marguerita Melendez. It was the fifth win 16 starts for the brown colt and the $8,730 winners' purse brings his earnings mark to $75,414.
