Cowboys Flying secured victory in the $3 million All American Futurity horse race held at The Downs at Albuquerque, marking his biggest triumph and remaining unbeaten throughout the competition. Despite his trainer Marco Chavez-Gutierrez having only recently assumed responsibility for the undefeated colt, the horse triumphed convincingly, finishing the race in 20.62 seconds over 440 yards.
The race's outcome was particularly significant as it marked the conclusion of an unusual chapter in New Mexico's horse racing scene, which had been temporarily disrupted due to catastrophic flooding at the Ruidoso facility. The owners of Cowboys Flying, Jerry Deville and Jaime Cardenas, transferred the colt to Chavez-Gutierrez's stable following a trainer change that was unrelated to any drug test or performance issues.
The jockey, Nestor Duran, secured a substantial share of the $3 million purse, earning $150,000 from the race, while the trainer's share amounted to $1.5 million.
