Beep Beep Zoom Zoom Drives Home in Cam Casby Stakes at Canterbury Park

SHAKOPEE, MN—AUGUST 10, 2019—Beep Beep Zoom Zoom broke her maiden and won her first career race on Saturday night in the inaugural running of the $20,000 Cam Casby Futurity. The 300-yard race is restricted to Minnesota-bred 2-year-olds with preference to horses that are also nominated to the Minnesota Futurity, to be held over Labor Day weekend.

The Cam Casby Futurity kicked off Made in Minnesota Day, a card of state-bred restricted races and stakes for both breeds. The race was named after Canterbury Park Hall of Fame member and longtime breeder and owner Camelia Casby, who passed away in 2014.

Beep Beep Zoom Zoom ($8.00) was ridden by Cristian Esqueda for leading trainer Jason Olmstead. She is owned by Summer Run, Inc. and was bred by Bob Moore Farms, LLC, by Hes Relentless and out of Ette Betta Zoom, by Shazoom. The winning pair finished in 15.729 and earned a speed index of 92.

"We are literally out of our minds excited," said Maren Luedemanm of Summer Run. "We bred and raised this filly. It is exciting seeing it all come to fruition."

Beep Beep Zoom Zoom qualified to the $36,100 MQHRA Stallion Auction Futurity and finished fifth in the final last month.

Runner up Capos Hero and jockey Julian Serrano finished a half-length behind the winner and a head in front of third-place finisher Jess a Lil Cash.

Capos Hero is owned by Corey Wilmes and was bred by Amanda Rae McCabe. The 2-year-old daughter of Capo de Capi is out of Shake Rattlenroll, by Valiant Hero.

Jess a Lil Cash completed the trifecta with jockey Stormy Smith for trainer Bob Johnson. She was bred by Jesse Geditz, by Ja Jess Perfect and out of the First Down Dash mare Dimples Dash O Denim.
