1994 Prioress Stakes (G2) at Belmont Park. A winning and
stakes-placed stallion who set 5 ½-furlong and 6-furlong
track records at Ruidoso Downs in 1992, Jack Wilson has
sired 15 crops and the earners of more than $5.1 million.
He stood the 2010 season for a $1,000 fee at Caines Stallion
Station at Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
Romeos Wilson’s dam, Mema’s Poison, is an unraced
23-year-old daughter of the Full Pocket stallion Full Choke.
The mare has produced six winners from seven starters, including
two stakes winners, both of whom are half siblings
to Romeos Wilson – Shemoveslikeaghost, a filly by Ghostly
Moves who won nine stakes in New Mexico from 2002-
06, and Colorofun, a Paramour gelding who won the ’06
George Maloof (R) and Albuquerque Spring (R) futurities at
The Downs at Albuquerque.
Romeos Wilson’s third dam, Takealetter, was a daughter
of the Round Table stallion Monitor who won three
stakes at River Downs in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1975. A ’72
Kentucky-bred foal, Takealetter foaled four winners from
five starters, including Addressee, a stakes-winning colt by
George Navonod, and the late Blushing Scribe, a Blushing
Groom (FR) colt who was Grade 3-placed in France and
Belgium in 1983.
Romeos Wilson traces back to his fourth dam, the winning
Jester mare Pink Tinge. Pink Tinge produced a total of
three stakes winners from 11 starters.
A total of 93 of Romeos Wilson’s 95 starts have come
in New Mexico – earlier this year, the gelding ran second
and third in a pair of stakes at Rillito Racetrack in Tucson,
Arizona. Romeos Wilson has collected five stakes victories,
including the 6 ½-furlong, $125,000 Johnie L. Jamison
Handicap (R) at Sunland Park in 2006 and ’07. He also
won the Casey Darnell Pony Express Stakes at the age of
10 two years ago.
A 10-1 longshot, Romeos Wilson returned a $22.40
win mutuel. Bonndaddy’s, an 11-1 longshot, ran second,
one length behind the winner, to complete a $349.60 ($2)
exacta.
Romeos Wilson followed his Casey Darnell Pony Express
victory with a pair of fourth-place finishes in allowance-optional
claiming sprints at Zia Park. The gelding’s
bankroll totals $835,581.
Danley has won the Pony Express four times, more
than any other trainer. In addition to Romeos Wilson’s two
victories, the trainer sent out Proud And Jivey to win the
race in 1997 and Brave Jack to win it the following year.
Ty’s Pache ran third and was followed by 2-1 favorite
Key’s Band, Smarty Ghost, Affluent Boy, Gulchrunssweet,
Granny’s Will, Sonofaseason, and Surprisingly Gone.
Bonndaddy’s has earned $124,573 for his owners,
Double Kee LLC and Grissom Racing Inc. The 4-year-old
homebred gelding and one-time $12,500 claimer has won
six of 19 races, including last year’s 6-furlong Don Juan de
Onate Stakes (R) at Albuquerque.
A 6-year-old gelding by Copelan’s Pache racing for
Alfredo Terrazas, Ty’s Pache has banked $183,564, of
which $11,120 has come since he was claimed for $8,000
at SunRay Park on June 27. Ty’s Pache has won four of 47
