Mon Ti Rose Primed for Party GirlThe American Quarter Horse Racing Journal, February 4, 2010 – The veteran stakes mare Mon Ti Rose is well positioned to start her 2010 campaign with a stakes win when she heads the $50,000 Party Girl Stakes for Louisiana-bred distaffers on Saturday afternoon at Louisiana Downs. Owned by Melba De La Cerda and Graciela Medina, Mon Ti Rose (Dashin Bye-Mon Ti Fleur by Mr Jess Perry) raced to top-three finishes in her latest seven starts stretching over the past year, and each of those starts has been against stakes company. The earner of $160,169 started that streak with a 1-length win in last year’s Party Girl Stakes at 2-1 odds. She finished well in the 350-yard test to get that victory over a sloppy racing surface. She concluded her 2009 season with a second-place finish over 440 yards against the boys in the Louisiana Championship Day Classic (RG2). In that race for state-breds, she raced on the lead before giving way and was defeated by a half length. The 5-year-old mare has made 20 career starts and finished on the board 15 times with seven wins for trainer Frank Cavazos. The Henry Padgett-owned and -trained Shawnies Dasher (Rebel Dasher-Shawnies Pie by Pie In The Sky) is primed for the Party Girl after a win over allowance company at Louisiana Downs on January 16. The winner of eight of 20 career starts gained that 330-yard allowance win by racing to a one-half length advantage and then holding off her female rivals. Shawnies Dasher defeated Mon Ti Rose in the 2009 Mothers Day Stakes at Delta Downs. Shawnies Dasher won at 7-1 odds over odds-on favorite Mon Ti Rose. Guadalupe Garcia’s Ms Quick Patriot (Game Patriot-Spicy Quick Darr by Royal Quick Dash) moved up from the claiming ranks to finish second in the Harrah’s Distaff at nearly 20-1 odds on January 23. She was three-quarters of a length behind the proven stakes competitor XO Kate. Ms Quick Patriot was claimed for $3,500 last May and won at the $10,000 claiming level two starts ago.
