DMNV MOUNTABLE DRAWS AWAY TO WIN REMINGTON PARK DERBY

April 20, 2008 -- A sharp break from post 2 helped eighth-fastest qualifier DMNV Mountable earn his second stakes victory in the Grade 1, $194,623 Remington Park Derby on Saturday.

Racing for Ezra Lee and Toby Dahl and prepped by Jacque Uphaus, DMNV Mountable went 400 yards in: 19.903, and his winning margin was one length from Furrtreeous.

"He had a bad trial run but he qualified,said jockey Kenny Muntz. "I was on a good horse and he had a good break. He was able to get out and do his thing like he was supposed to. Everything went right this second time around."

DMNV Mountable was bred by Merrill and Virginia Lee of Billings, Montana, and the colt is one of two stakes winners from 92 starters sired by Panther Mountain, a 9-year-old stallion by Meter Me Gone and American Quarter Horse racing's champion aged stallion in 2003. The colt's dam, Cheyennes Bullion, is a winning daughter of Bully Bullion who ran third in the 1994 Wyoming All Breed Futurity and has produced five winners from six starters.

All told, DMNV Mountable has earned $175,820 from six wins in nine races. The colt's first stakes victory came in last year's $88,597 Kansas Jackpot Futurity (RG2), and his stakes resume includes a runner-up finish to Eyesa Jumpn in the February 2, $256,690 Harrah's Entertainment Derby (G2) at Louisiana Downs.

Fastest qualifier Eyesa Candy Maker, Looks Royal, Coronas Fast Dash, Brighton Beach, Snow Burn, Our Trace Of Smoke, Miss Mojito and Oh Cherokee Rose completed the order of finish.
