Gc Harrys Game Wins His Breeder's Namesake Gary Chumbley Stakes

PORTLAND, OR—JANUARY 20, 2019—Gc Harrys Game, a 3-year-old son of multiple stakes sire Carters Cartel, dominated the $14,350 Gary Chumbley Stakes (not black type), a race named in honor of his breeder, on Sunday at Portland Meadows by defeating Willy B Gone by 2-¼ lengths.

Ridden by regular rider Robert Burney, the 3-year-old gelding completed the 350 yards over a sloppy racecourse in :17.702 seconds, earning a 104 speed index in the rain.

Conditioned by trainer Scott Raley, Cg Harrys Game entered the race off a third-place effort in his last start—the $30,115 Baxter Andruss Oregon-Bred Futurity last month. Prior to that he had strung together three consecutive wins that included the Far West Futurity at Portland Meadows.
