President and General Manager, Jeff True, speaks with Tim Keithley at KBUY-KWES Radio about the status of Billy the Kid Casino and when it may be able to reopen under COVID-Safe practices. Closing day and we saw the best two-year-old quarter horses in the world in the big one and its consolation. First was the All American Juvenile for horses who did not qualify to the All American Futurity. Jockey Ricky Ramirez Wins First All American Futurity. As the 2020 race season came to a close today a new All American champion was crowned, and her name is Whistle Stop Cafe. The still-undefeated filly raced 440 yards down the fast track under partly cloudy skies against a 7 MPH headwind and hit the wire with a time of 21.437 to finish ahead of Instygator by a neck. With her win, Whistle Stop Cafe takes home the winner’s share of $1.5 million of the $3 million purse. On the final day of racing at Ruidoso Downs, the top trainers, owners, and jockeys in both the Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred categories were recognized for their accomplishments during the 2020 racing season. Each of the winners received belt buckles commemorating their success this season at Ruidoso Downs. Valeriano Racing Stables Run 1-2 in the Derby Win the All American Gold Cup. Gold Heart Eagle V proved that clocking the fastest qualifying time was not a fluke as he flew down the track today to win the G1 $1,007,688 All American Derby under clear skies on a fast track. In the $20,0000 Bill Reed Memorial Stake contested at 870 yards, Wascallywittlewabbit held off a late charge by Why Buy The Cow and hit the wire first with a time of 44.672 after leading the entire race. The race-time favorite paid $4.40 to win on a clear day with no wind and fast track conditions. A Field of Stars in Storied Race Featuring Older Horses. 2018 All American Futurity Champion Apocalyptical Jess highlights the field of eight runners in Sunday’s running of the $125,000 All American Gold Cup going 440-yards at Ruidoso Downs. The final weekend of racing at Ruidoso Downs promises to deliver exciting action as some of the fastest 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds take to the track for the All American Futurity, the All American Derby and the inaugural running of the All American Oaks. In addition, the All American Gold Cup, the All American Juvenile, the All American Invitational Stakes, the Governor’s Handicap, and the Bill Reed Memorial Stake round out a weekend full of stakes racing to cap off the season. When Jockey Benito Baca is introduced making his first-ever appearance in the All American Futurity Monday afternoon aboard Flashing My PJs, his number-one fan is likely to make some noise--in support of his dad. As Ratification steps into the starting gate for the inaugural running of the All American Oaks on Sunday, the memory of trainer John Buchanan won’t be far away from her jockey Francisco Calderon. If there’s a jockey in Monday’s All American Futurity lineup that’s hungry for the winner’s circle it’s Ricky Ramirez. He’ll take that appetite to the starting gate with Whistle Stop Café, the undefeated filly named after a restaurant in breeder Bobby Cox’s hometown of Weatherford, Texas. Post positions were drawn this morning for the All American Futurity, the All American Derby, and the inaugural running of the All American Oaks that will headline the All American Weekend race card at Ruidoso Downs Race Track beginning Friday and running through Labor Day.
