Git Er Done After Fourth Straight
Win In Master Salls ‘Cap at Ruidoso Downs
RUIDOSO DOWNS, New Mexico (July 25, 2011) – The Martin
Orona-owned and -trained Git Er Done looks for his
fourth-straight win and comes off an impressive victory
in the SunRay Park Marathon to head the $30,000 Master
Salls Handicap over 870-yards on Saturday afternoon at
Ruidoso Downs.
First post time for the 11-race card is 1 p.m. with the
Master Salls Handicap running as the 10th race.
Saturday also starts Zia Festival weekend at Ruidoso
Downs. The grandstand is filled with vendors throughout
the weekend offering New Mexico arts, crafts and wares.
Sunday is the Zia Festival racing program filled with
stakes races for New Mexico-bred thoroughbreds and
quarter horses racing for purses of $1.1 million.
The quarter horse Git Er Done should try to set the
early pace in the Masters Salls when he starts from the
second post position in the eight-horse field. He has
sprinted to the lead in each of his four-straight wins
and opened up a clear early advantage in the 870-yard
SunRay Marathon. He then increased his advantage to win
by more than four lengths.
The eight-year-old Git Er Done has 12 wins from 41
starts and his three-straight wins have come with a
combined margin of 13 lengths.
Vicente Grajeda has been the jockey for each of his
three-straight wins and has the mount in the Master
Salls.
Lathrop Hoffman’s thoroughbred Facil Catana also comes
off a stakes effort when she makes her first start at
870 yards after competing against thoroughbreds at
longer distances. Ibn her most recent race the
four-year-old filly set all the pace in the six-furlong
First Lady Handicap before tiring and settling for
fourth place.
The quick-starting Facil Catana has been on the lead in
each of her six latest starts, all against
thoroughbreds, including a gate-to-wire win in the Bold
Ego Handicap at Sunland Park.
Facil Catana drew the rail post position, next to Get Er
Done, and will have Enrique Gomez aboard.
