Runnning Brook Gal wins All American Futurity

Mine That Bird drew a record number of fans to this year's All American Futurity, then Runnning Brook Gal gave them a great show. Runnning Brook Gal, a 2-year-old Utah filly, got a clean break on a wet track and wasted no time getting into a full sprint to win the $2 million All American Futurity on Monday, the biggest event in quarter horse racing. The second-fastest qualifier in trials, Runnning Brook Gal wasn't slowed by a light drizzle and covered the 440 yards in 21.144 seconds. It was the third All American victory for trainer Paul Jones but the first for owner Albert Richard of Roosevelt, Utah. "She's a quick little filly and she can scoot across the ground," Jones said. "She got an awesome break. The field kind of opened up. She had plenty of running room and the further she went, the better she got." Shesa First Ratify ran second and New Mexico-bred First Corona Call was third...AP
