RUIDOSO DOWNS, New Mexico (September 10, 2009) – Two-time stakes winners Inseperable and Train Rider Blues have been named the quarter horse and thoroughbred horses of the meet, respectively, for the Ruidoso Downs summer season.
The 3-year-old Inseperable won the Grade 1, $480,000 Rainbow Derby and the Grade 1, $624,000 All American Derby this summer. He was also named the top 3-year-old quarter horse.
Inseperable is owned by Jimmy Harrel, H.D. Harrel, JoAnn Adams and J. Peacock.
The 2-year-old Train Rider Blues raced to wins over New Mexico-breds in the $159,000 Ruidoso Thoroughbred Futurity and the $109,000 Rio Grande Senor Futurity.
He is owned by Freda McSwain and Joe Walters, and trained by Terry Walker.
Inseperable’s trainer Paul Jones also has the meet’s top 2-year-old quarter horse Runnning Brook Gal, the top older horse Noconi and the leading New Mexico-bred PB And Crackers in his barn.
Runnning Brook Gal was a decisive winner of the Grade 1 All American Futurity and the second-place finisher in the Grade 1, $625,000 Rainbow Futurity.

PB And Crackers primarily raced against open company, but in his sole start against state-breds the 3-year-old gelding defeated older horses in the Zia Handicap.
He is owned by R.D. and Shaun Hubbard.
Train Rider Blues started five times during the season and came away with a pair of futurity wins. He showed his gameness with a late-running neck win in the Ruidoso Thoroughbred Sale Futurity and then stood above his rivals with a 3-length win in the Rio Grande Senor Futurity.
