PEDIGREE
Last To Check Him - Already a great bargain, Last To Check Him may soon prove to be an amazing bargain. The Check Him Out filly sold for $2,000 at the 2010 Los Alamitos Equine Sale and is now in the hunt for the Los Alamitos Two Million’s winners share of $903,966. Making all of her eight starts at Los Alamitos, Last To Check Him broke her maiden and became a stakes winner in the California Breeders’ Freshman Fillies Stakes (R). She won her Two Million trial by a half length and earned the seventh-fastest time.

Legendary horseman Spencer L. Childers (the breeder of Last To Check Him) bred and raced American Quarter Horses for 50 years, beginning with Black Easter Bunny, the champion mare he purchased as a gift for his wife, Florence. Among the many top horses he bred is world champion Be A Bono ($1,313,347) and champions Uncas ($398,504), Jet View ($328,627) and Black Sable ($271,592). Childers was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2002.

The Zory Kuzyk-bred Check Him Out is by the Thoroughbred Hennessy out of Grade 1 winner Check Her Twice. Check Him Out was a two-time Grade 1 winner who earned $418,528. From six crops to race, he has sired the earners of more than $5.9 million. They include 251 winners from 405 starters, and 13 stakes winners.

Last Shall Be First was bred and campaigned by Spencer Childers, and she earned $168,302 while winning five of 17 starts. They included wins in the 2002 Governor’s Cup Derby (RG1) and Dash For Speed Handicap. She was also second in the Governor’s Cup Futurity (RG1) and third in the Golden State Derby (G1).

She is a fifth generation Childers-bred on the distaff side from the good mare Hop Skip And Jump, and from seven starters she has six winners, including stakes winners Jazz Be First (by Bono Jazz, $126,273) and Last To Check Him (by Check Him Out, $19,485). Last Shall Be First has two foals in the Los Alamitos Two Million – she also produced fastest qualifier Last To Fire.
