Ridden by James Flores, the 8-5 favorite covered 440 yards in :21.092, the fastest time of the current meet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a little surprised at the inquiry,\u201d said Flores. \u201cI looked over and never saw another horse and I didn\u2019t hear another horse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The inquiry and an objection by Papaws Paint\u2019s rider Bonifacio Perez was raised because at one point Political Attraction moved close to Papaws Paint. But an isolation shot from a video camera showed that Political Attraction never touched Papaws Paint.<\/p>\n<p>A gelded son of Apollitical Jess, Political Attraction, winner of the $283,000 Black Gold Futurity and the $214,000 Speedhorse Futurity, was a $40,000 supplement to the Rainbow Derby, which paid $336,657 for his win.<\/p>\n<p>Runner-up Hes Limitless, a gelding by Corona Cartel, was making his first stakes appearance since finishing fourth in the $3,000,000 All American Futurity last September. The John Stinebaugh-trained gelding, ridden by Agustin Silva, is owned by Jack Smith Farms, Comber, Ontario, and also finished second in the $100,000 Rainbow Futurity Juvenile.<\/p>\n<p>Papaws Paint, a gelding by Pyc Paint Your Wagon, trained by Todd Fincher for RH Resources, Graham, Tex., won last fall\u2019s $202,000 Hobbs America Futurity.<\/p>\n<p>Jess Move You, winner of the $795,000 Ruidoso Derby on June 9th, was sent off at odds of 7-2 in the Rainbow, but finished seventh following a poor start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 21, 2018, Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico Political Attraction, trained by Josue Ponce for Rogelio&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15144"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15150,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15144\/revisions\/15150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
