Commonwealth New Era Racing’s Howdyoumakeurmoney won her second straight and provided leading New York sire Freud with his latest stakes winner in Monday’s $75,400 Presque Isle Debutante Stakes at Presque Isle Downs.

The 2-year-old filly shipped to Erie, Pa., from trainer Mike Trombetta’s main string at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland to win the 6 ½-furlong Debutante by a head over Battle Charge as the 9-5 favorite. Ridden by Antonio Gallardo, Howdyoumakeurmoney won in 1:16.31.

Bred by Davie Bloodstock, LLC and Peter Colon, Howdyoumakeurmoney finished fourth in a 6-furlong New York-bred maiden on the main track in her debut Aug. 13 at Saratoga Race Course. She followed that effort with a victory going 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf at Saratoga Sept. 3.

Trombetta breezed Howdyoumakeurmoney on Fair Hill’s synthetic surface last Saturday in preparation for her debut on the surface Monday, and she went 5 furlongs in 1:01.40. She’d breezed three times on the training center’s synthetic prior to that, in June and July before her debut.

Howdyoumakeurmoney broke well from her inside post and settled into second, alongside the slight 9-5 second choice Royal Engagement, while She’s Pure Silver opened up a 1 1/2-length lead to the opening quarter-mile in :22.51. Royal Engagement went first after the leader, making a move just before True Blue Pearl made a three-wide run around the turn at She’s Pure Silver, who hit the half in :45.63.

Gallardo kept Howdyoumakeurmoney down on the inside and they were only a length back to that point. He tipped her out in the stretch and cut into She’s Pure Silver’s lead while the other early chasers started to fade. Howdyoumakeurmoney took the lead inside the eighth pole, braced for any late runs and held off one from Battle Charge in deep stretch. Runaway Breeze, fourth in the off-the-turf P.G. Johnson Stakes at Saratoga Sept. 2, also rallied late to finish 3 1/4 lengths behind the top pair in third at 69-1.

Howdyoumakeurmoney became the 73rd stakes winner for Freud, a 23-year-old by Storm Cat and full brother to Giant’s Causeway who stands for $5,000 at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson. He also joined Freud’s 72nd stakes winner, the Sept. 26 Nownownow winner Dakota Gold, as 2021 Saratoga winners who earned their black-type immediately after victories in upstate New York in early September.

Howdyoumakeurmoney, the fifth foal out of the winning Elusive Quality mare Exclusively Yours and foaled at Hidden Lake Farm in Stillwater, originally sold out of the Foggy Bottom Farm consignment as a weanling for $15,000 to Gerard Stuchbury at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga fall mixed sale. She went through the sales ring a few months later and brought $19,000 as a short yearling from Vineyard Racing out of the Summerfield consignment at the OBS winter mixed sale.

A $27,000 RNA at the OBS yearling, 2-year-old and horses of racing age sale last fall, Howdyoumakeurmoney landed with Commonwealth New Era Racing on a $105,000 bid out of Gene Recio’s consignment at this year’s OBS April sale of 2-year-olds in training. Selling as Hip 774[3], the filly breezed an eighth in 10.1 during presale workouts.

Exclusively Yours is also the dam of the 4-year-old New York-bred Hat Trick filly Mosienko, a three-time winner on the NYRA circuit and in training at Belmont Park with trainer Dennis Lalman. A half-sister to $545,107-earner and multiple stakes winner General Charley, stakes winner Truly Lucky and stakes-placed winners Magnificent Margo and Holy Mission, Exclusively Yours is also the dam of a yearling New York-bred colt by Camelot Kitten named Sir Lance and a filly by Tapiture born in New York March 28 – both bred by Davie Bloodstock and Colon – and the mare was bred to Grade 1 winner Win Win Win in 2021.

Miss Jimmy dominates Arctic Queen Stakes

Miss Jimmy made her racing return to her old stomping grounds – and her stakes debut to boot – and splashed her way to victory in Monday’s $50,000 Arctic Queen Stakes at Finger Lakes.

The 5-year-old daughter of Colonel John, the winner off more than a six-month layoff last time out at Saratoga, led the 6-furlong Arctic Queen almost from the start on the way to a 3 3/4-length victory over Hannah Dances. Sent off the 2-5 favorite in the field of six New York-bred fillies and mares under Oscar Gomez, Miss Jimmy won for the eighth time in 13 starts at Finger Lakes to go with four seconds.

Trained by Bruce Anderson, Miss Jimmy hadn’t run at Finger Lakes since winning an open-company allowance there Sept. 15, 2020. She made 12 of her first 13 starts in Farmington, winning five times as a 3-year-old and twice last season.

Miss Jimmy spent last winter at Belmont Park with trainer John Toscano Jr. and raced five times at Aqueduct. She finished second four times and third once in those five races, all in state-bred optional sprints, before heading back to Anderson this spring to prep for a late-summer and fall campaign.

Miss Jimmy turned in four bullet works at Finger Lakes before her Saratoga return on Closing Day of the 2021 meeting, including back-to-back 5-furlong moves in 1:00.20 Aug. 20 and 1:00.30 Aug. 28 to set up the victory. She breezed another 5-furlong bullet in :59.20 Sept. 25 and her readiness for her stakes debut showed from the start.

Hannah Dances, coming off a third in the Union Avenue Handicap Aug. 19 at Saratoga for M. Anthony Ferraro, broke well to Miss Jimmy’s outside to take an early lead in the first few strides. Miss Jimmy and Gomez slid up the inside and were a length in front through the opening quarter-mile in :23.31. Hannah Dances and the comebacking Letmetakethiscall, winner of the Xtra Heat Stakes in late March at Aqueduct, chased from there and around the turn.

Miss Jimmy opened up and led by 4 lengths after the half in :46.49 and widened her advantage over the sloppy and sealed surface in the stretch. She and Gomez led by nearly 6 lengths at the eighth pole before cruising to finish well in front to win in 1:11.64. Hannah Dancers held second at 9-1 and finished 12 1/2 lengths ahead of Letmetakethiscall. Willow Grove, She’s Not Bluffing and Treatherlikestar completed the order of finish.

Bred by Laurel Least and Gabriel McDonough, foaled at Foggy Bottom Farm in Geneseo and raced by Least and Ann McDonough, Miss Jimmy is the second foal out of Smart Eyes. A three-time winner by Midas Eyes, Smart Eyes is out of 2004 Arctic Queen runner-up and $91,225-earner A Smart Punch.

Offered as Hip 120[2] through the Foggy Bottom Farm consignment at the 2017 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Eastern fall yearling sale and not sold on a bid of $6,000, Miss Jimmy is a half-sister to the winning 4-year-old Alpha filly Fast Fran and the unraced 3-year-old Encaustic filly Witt Lasting Speed currently in training at Finger Lakes. Smart Eyes did not produce a foal in 2019 or 2020 and was bred last year to Snow Trouble, who previously stood at Foggy Bottom Farm in Geneseo.

Miss Jimmy improved to 10-9-1 from her 22 starts and boosted her bankroll to $312,855 in the Arctic Beauty.
