Warrens Heartthrob Heads Gold Rush CYPRESS, CA - Nov. 11, 2011 -
The thoroughbred Warrens Heartthrob rallied to win the first of two
trials with the fastest-qualifying time and become the sole member
of his breed to reach the finals of the 870-yard Gold Rush Derby at
Los Alamitos on Friday night.
The Gold Rush Derby, held on December 4, is back on the Los Alamitos
stakes calendar for the first time since being held from 1986-2007.
The race has highlighted future 870-yard champions such as Snowbound
Superstar and Truly A Pleasure.
Keith Craigmyle and Rick Pritchard’s Warrens Heartthrob rallied from
near the rear of the five-horse field and then made a three-wide
move to quickly move past his quarter horse rivals to win by nearly
two lengths with a :45.479 time.
Hot jockey Cheryl Charlton was up for the win. She won on five
straight mounts at Los Alamitos — dating back to last weekend —
before suffering a loss, but was then back in the winner’s circle
with Warrens Heartthrob.
Warren Hearthrob was claimed for $8,000 two starts ago at Fairplex
Park and was then off the board in his first start at 870 yards, at
Turf Paradise on October 22. The Gold Rush trial win was his fourth
win from nine 2011 starts. The other victories came in claiming
races.
In the second trial, Robert Parra’s Bound To Snow scored a 13-1
upset in a four-horse field with the fourth-fastest qualifying time
of :46.785. Joel Cruz was aboard for the maiden-winning score by
three quarters of a length. He was one of four offspring of
Snowbound (tb) to reach the eight-horse derby finals. Final: DECEMBER 04, 2011 - LOS
ALAMITOS RACE COURSE - $25,000-ADDED - 3-YEAR-OLDS - 870 yards
