SHELBYVILLE, IN—OCTOBER 25, 2025— In a thrilling finish at Horseshoe Indianapolis on Saturday, Sauce C surged late to win the $30,000 Governors Juvenile Stakes, a 400-yard test for two-year-olds contested over a fast track under cloudy, 49-degree conditions with a seven-mile-per-hour crosswind.

The gray filly by leading second-crop sire Chilitos out of Runaway Trs Seis, by Tres Seis, stopped the timer in 20.499 seconds under jockey Luz Martinez.

Trained by Anthony Cunningham for owner William F. Collins, the Texas-bred filly earned $16,500 for the victory.

Bred by P & J Racing Ltd, Sauce C was a $57,000 RNA from the 2024 TQHA Yearling Sale. A winner of two of six starts, Sauce C more than doubled her earnings to $30,670.

Super Shiny, a brown filly by second-crop sire Mpshinning out of Katie Katella, by Separatist, was moved to second after Candy Jar drifted from the seven to the 10 path and was disqualified and placed eighth.

Owned by Pattie Marshall and trained by Cunningham, Super Shiny was ridden by Isidro Banuelos. The California-bred filly, bred by Dr. Steve D. Burns DVM, earned $6,000 for her runner-up effort and was purchased for $25,000 at the 2024 Heritage Place Yearling Sale. She has earned $17,610 in five starts.

Delreys Rollin Bayou, a Louisiana-bred gelding by Freighttrain B out of Stolia Del Rey, by Stoli,  was moved to the show position after closing strongly. He is bred and owned by Dan L. Wasserbeck, trained by Ron Raper, and was ridden by Cristian Penaloza.

After being impeded and checked near the sixteenth pole, Delreys Rollin Bayou rallied to collect $3,000 for the effort, boosting his earnings to $38,550.  The gelding was a finalist in the Heartland Futurity and the QHRAI SSA Futurity(RG3) earlier this year.

Pari-mutuel payoffs returned $10.20 to win, $5.80 to place, and $3.60 to show on Sauce C; $14.60 to place and $7.40 to show on Super Shiny; and $3.60 to show on Delreys Rollin Bayou. The $2 exacta paid $142.40, the 50-cent trifecta returned $254.55, and the 10-cent superfecta paid $719.66.

The order of finish for the remaining runners was Go Lota Girl, Jess Sinful, Sweeet Dreams, Cyber Flash, Candy Jar (disqualified from second), Joyful Dynasty, and Candy Spice.
