Sm Country Snowman Dominates Again With Graham Paint Futurity



SM Country Snowman and G.R. Carter easily
take the Graham Paint Futurity.

— JUNE 2, 2007—The last Saturday of the American Quarter Horse/Mixed Breed Season at Remington Park featured three stakes races with no winner more impressive than SM Country Snowman in the $214,338 Graham Paint Futurity.
The talented 2-year-old red roan Paint won his fifth straight race and second futurity of the season, roaring home by 1-3/4 lengths to win the Graham Paint Futurity. Owned by the Rafter SM Ranch of Wagoner, Okla. and trained by Sparky Mullins, leading jockey G.R. Carter was aboard for the score which took just :17.565 over 350 yards on a fast track.

The time is a new Paint horse record for 350 yards at Remington Park as SM Country Snowman shaved .019 seconds off the mark set in 2005 by Got Country Grip, another undefeated Paint racing star and the sport’s two-time World Champion.

SM Country Snowman was his usual impressive self despite finding a less than perfect start under Carter.

“He was good in the (starting) gate but he broke in just a little bit. He bumped off the horse (Step Aside Fellas) to the inside of him,” Carter noted. “I had him gathered up and then he just ran away from them like he is capable of doing. He is a special horse to run as fast as he did after not having a perfect start.”

The heavy 1-9 wagering favorite, SM Country Snowman came thru for his backers and paid $2.20 to win, $2.40 to place and $2.10 to show. Biker Chick managed the runner-up position and paid $7.40 to place and $4.80 to show. Solid Cowboy was third and paid $12.40 to show.

In winning his fifth race from as many starts this season, SM Country Snomwan picked up a check for $81,452. An Oklahoma-bred colt by Country Quick Dash from the Judys Lineage mare Western Lineage, SM Country Snowman adds the Graham Paint Futurity to his win earlier this season in the American Paint Classic. Overall he has earned $131,805.
