AURORA, CO—JULY 10, 2016—Bout Tree Fiddy (Heritage Place Sales Graduate) got away alertly under jockey Russell Vicchrilli then drove to a one-length win over In Kuh Hoots in the $117,780 Rocky Mountain Futurity Sunday afternoon at Arapahoe Park. Who You Know finished a nose back for third.
Tomey Swan conditions the Ivory James gelding for owners Patrick Swan and Carry Allred. Bout Tree Fiddy completed the 350 yards in :17.387 seconds with a 10 mph tailwind to earn a 102-speed index.
“It’s a long process, but he’s been an excellent student,” Pat Swan said. “He becoming faster and faster. Today was his best race by far.”
Allred also owned and Tomey Swan also trained 2013 Rocky Mountain Futurity winner Oh No U Didnt.
“We’ve been trying to get back here for three or four years, and it’s tough to win these futurities,” Allred said. “I feel like this horse is a little faster than ‘Oh No.’ If we can keep him sound, I think he has a great future.”
The Oklahoma homebred, from the Fredricksburg mare Hollie Jollie, got his second career win in five starts and used the $47,112 winners’ purse to boost his career total to $68,496. The brown gelding was also third in the Laico Bird Stakes at Remington Park in April.
