The $250,000 winner&#8217;s payout validated the decision of trainer Jackie Riddle and owners G.W. Hartstack and B and B Electric to pay gelding Silver For Me&#8217;s $15,000 late entry fee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t get away the best,&#8221; said rider Carlos Madeira. &#8220;At about fifty yards he just kicked it in.&#8221; The 350-yard dash was the richest Quarter Horse victory for Madeira, a top-ranked New Mexico Thoroughbred rider, who piloted undefeated <a title=\"Peppers Pride retires\" href=\"?p=963\">Peppers Pride<\/a> to all 19 of her wins.<\/p>\n<p>Back In The Pack, a $9,000 purchase at the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale and the only filly in the field, finished a neck behind Silver For Me for second, at 22-1; Ochoa, at 9-1, was third.
