A Look Back At “Zoom To The Money” win at the Mile High Futurity
Roy Baldillez rode seventh-fastest qualifier and 20-1 long shot Zoom To The Money to a come-from-behind win in the August 10, 400-yard Mile High Futurity (G2). Campaigned by Margarito Montalvo of Commerce City, Colorado, and saddled by Chris Gandarilla, the Colorado-bred Shazoom filly stopped the timer in :20.012 en route to a nose victory over Cherry Creek Futurity (RG3) winner and 2-1 choice Bully Eyes.
Zoom To The Money was bred by Jean Chavers of Fort Lupton, Colorado, a 30-consecutive-year breeder who has bred 13 stakes winners and the earners of more than $1.9 million, including 1988 champion aged stallion Bully Bullion and ‘91 champion sophomore filly See Me Gone. The filly became the 34th stakes winner from 459 starters sired by Shazoom, a 15-year-old son of champion Takin On The Cash who won the 1995 Speedhorse Sprint Futurity (RG3) at Trinity Meadows in Texas and was third in that season’s Grade 1 Texas Classic Futurity.
Zoom To The Money’s dam, Miss ATM, is a 13-year-old winning daughter of Bully Bullion and See Me Gone. The mare has foaled two winners from four starters, including 2007 Lucille Rowe Derby (RG3) runner-up Make Money Anywhere, a filly by Make It Anywhere.
Campaigned exclusively in Colorado thus far, Zoom To The Money has won one of four starts. The winner’s share of the $114,430 Mile High Futurity purse increased the filly’s bankroll to $46,692.

Freshman Sire Ocean Runaway Gets First Stakes Winner
Freshman sire Ocean Runaway got his first stakes winner on June 14 when Funaway was named the winner of the Jodys Glory Classic at Hipodromo de las Americas in Mexico.
Funaway is a bay filly owned by Efren Garcia Ramirez. In the Jodys Glory, she crossed the wire behind the dead-heated pair of Trick Or Cash and The Kainala. However, those horses were disqualified for interference and placed second, moving Funaway to first. Funaway has now won one of four starts and earned $23,594.
Bred by Robert Gentry, Funaway is out of the Chicks Beduino mare Fearless Chick, a daughter of Fearless Freda and thus a half sister to champion Fredricksburg.
