They have also remained dedicated to their roots. They always provide an array of horses from throughout Quarter Horse racing, they always provide memorable races and they always provide a surprise or surprises throughout the evening.

This year’s starters in the five graded stakes on the stakes-filled card come from as far as northern Alberta, Canada, Minnesota, Washington, Prairie Meadows and all tracks in between. This year the Bank of America Challenge Championships are contested at Los Alamitos and there is always expected to be a home track advantage, however more than a few players have lost their cash just by playing the homies.

The horses come from throughout the Quarter Horse racing business and that means their connections are also in attendance.

KAABRAAJ TOO FAST AT TURF PARADISE

Kaabraaj continued his eventful 2016 campaign for trainer Jeff Metz with a sharp performance in the $35,000 Bienvenidos Stakes on opening day Saturday at Turf Paradise.

Ridden by Eswan Flores, the 4-year-old Washington-bred gelding led gate-to-wire for a 2 ¼-length triumph in 1:15.81 for 6½ furlongs and paid $7 as the second choice in the wagering. Kaabraaj earned an 87 Beyer and $18,228 for owners Warlock Stables and Horse Players Racing Club.

Kaabraaj has two wins in 2016, the Bienvenidos and an April 23 allowance race in which he set an Emerald Downs record 1:06.86 for 6 furlongs. Kaabraaj also finished second to Emerald Downs’ Horse of the Meeting O B Harbor in a 5½-furlong allowance race, and third to O B Harbor in the $50,000 Governor’s Stakes. There also was a trip to California for three very tough stakes engagements, the best result being a fourth in the Grade 1 Bing Crosby at Del Mar.

Gunned to the lead by Flores—who led all riders with five wins opening week at Turf Paradise—Kaabraaj set fractions of :22.95, :44.93 and 1:09.14, and repelled 3-to-5 favorite Storm Power in the lane.

Absolutely Cool edged Storm Power for second to make it an all Washington-bred exacta. State champion sprinter the last three years, Absolutely Cool earned $5,880 and pushed his lifetime total to $406,982 for owner/breeder Karl Krieg. The 9-year-old Absolute Harmony gelding is the 27th Washington-bred to surpass the $400,000 mark.
