RUBIO FUTURITY 2015 CHAMPION
Rubio, Chihuahua, Mexico
Baruch (Dominyum – Scraw Barie Shake) took 1st place by a nose in this year’s final of the Rubio Futurity, Mexico’s most competitive and lucrative futurity in the north. From a field of 80 participants representing Mexican horsemanship and American breeding he made his way to the finale along with two other Heritage Place graduates.
He was bred and consigned in the United States by Bobby D. Cox at the 2014 Heritage Place Yearling sale (Hip 425) and was then purchased by Luis Lozano Gonzalez for a sum of $8,700 dollars for current owner Victor de La Garza.
With 1st place came an entrance fee prize of $1,000,000 pesos ($62,500 U.S. approximately) plus the auction purse prize of $2,300,000 pesos ($143,750 U.S. approximately); with a total of $3.3 Million pesos ($206,250 U.S.) awarded to Baruch and Cuadra Santa Rosa. He was led by jockey Leonardo “El Pelon” Morales and saddled by trainer Arnulfo Guajardo Jr.
