Congratulations to Rocky Ridge Racing Stables and the Bensmillers & Gary Etherington in their success on Sales Stake Day
Regal Tigereyes
The 3 and 4 Year Old Sales Stake was held on October 1, 2011 at Northlands over a one mile track. The Filly Sales Stake was won by Regal Tigereyes after a late bid for the lead and stretch duel saw her earn a victory over the other 5 runners. Regal Tigereyes is by the deceased Alberta stallion Tiger Trap out of the mare Regal Estate by Regal Remark. The three year old chestnut filly has now earned over $50,000 in her first year on the track. She was bred by Thomas Lees and consigned to the 2009 CTHS Fall Mixed Sale by Tom and Emily Lees and purchased for $1500 by her current owners, Rocky Ridge Racing Stables.
The Three and Four Year Old Colts and Geldings division was won by My Lucky Thirteen who ran a strong race and rallied at the finish to win the race. My Lucky Thirteen is by General Royal out of Bia Valentine by Bianconi. My Lucky Thirteen adds this victory to a second place finish in the Alberta Breeders' Handicap this year and a third place in the Beaufort Stakes in 2010. His career earnings as a three and four year old now stand at $89,809. Buddy Bensmiller purchased the four year old gelding as Hip #13 for $1200 in the 2008 Fall Mixed Sale.
