SHAKOPEE, MN—AUGUST 10, 2019—It took five races, but Pyc Jess Bite Mydust finally turned the tables on full brother Dickey Bob, defeating him by a nose in the $35,000 Cash Caravan Stakes at Canterbury Park.
Julian Serrano rode the 5-year-old gelding to victory in 19.704 in the 400-yard race over a muddy track for a 98 speed index.
The two Apollitical Jess geldings had met up in four previous stakes, including last year’s Cash Caravan, but Dickey Bob held the advantage over his slow-breaking older brother in their previous meetings.
Today, Pyc Jess Bite Mydust broke a step slow and used his late-closing speed to get the best of his brother. Cristian Esqueda lost the irons on Dickey Bob during the race.
Pyc Jess Bite Mydust ($5.00) holds the all-time earnings record for a Minnesota-bred Quarter Horse and was the recent winner of the Bank of America Canterbury Park Championship Challenge against open company.
He has seven wins, $247,531 in earnings, and has never finished out of the money in 14 starts at his home track at Canterbury.
Pyc Jess Bite Mydust and Dickey Bob are both out of the Pyc Paint Your Wagon mare Paint Or More; Paint Or More was also a stakes winner at Canterbury. Both are owned and bred by Bruce and Judy Lunderborg. In 2020, another full brother and a half-sister from the Paint Or More family will join the barn as 2-year-olds at Canterbury Park.
Olmstead swept the early double as the winning trainer of both Quarter Horse stakes on the Made in Minnesota day card.
Holy Storm finished in third place under jockey Nik Goodwin for trainer Pat Swan. Holy Storm was bred by Dan Kjorsvik, by Red Storm Cat and out of the Thoroughbred mare Holy White Socks, by Polished Brass.
The 3-year-old competed in two stakes last year; the Cash Caravan was his first stakes appearance of 2019 and his best stakes placing to date.
Completing the field were Streak N Sparks and Haute Wagon. Jess Doin Time and Polar Xpress scratched.
