DASHIN RARE FORM DOMINATES OKLAHOMA BAYER CHALLENGE

October 8, 2007 – Sixth-fastest qualifier Dashin Rare Form led at every call en route to a three-quarter length win in the $41,580 Bayer Legend Oklahoma Derby Challenge (G3) Saturday at Blue Ribbon Downs. Under G.R. Carter Jr., who rode the colt by champion Rare Form for owner Tinisha Cox of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, and trainer Pedro Hernandez, Dashin Rare Form covered 400 yards in :19.521, a clocking which bested by 12/100ths the stakes record set by Redman Running three years ago.

Bred by Robert and Cristal Sherrill of Mansfield, Texas, Dashin Rare Form became the 39th stakes winner from 12 crops sired by Rare Form, a Grade 1-winning son of The Signature whose 667 starters have earned more than $10.9 million and include four champions. The colt is also one of two winners from as many starters foaled by his dam, the winning Dashin Chico mare PC Dashin Chic. His half sister, Zoominatchya, ran second in this year’s Grade 1 Heritage Place Futurity at Remington Park.


Campaigned exclusively in Oklahoma, Dashin Rare Form has won five of nine races and has earned $61,181. The colt ran third in last year’s Oklahoma Futurity (G2) at Remington Park.
