SELMA, TX–JULY 26, 2024–Graded stakes winner Onthrocks drew off in the final strides to defend his title in the $54,125 restricted Grade 3 TQHA 550 Stakes by 1-1/2 lengths on Friday at Retama Park. He also won this race in 2023. Jockey Oscar Andrade, Jr., picked up his second straight stakes win while completing the 550 yards in 27.918 seconds, clocking a 93-speed index into an 8 mph headwind. Trainer Gilberto Gonzalez saddled the 5-year-old son of champion A Revenant to his seventh career win in 20 starts. “I knew he could do it,” Gonzalez said in the winner’s circle. “We’ve been working with him very hard.

If he’s good and sound, we will run him again here at Retama Park.” Sarah Huskey owns the black gelding, which Ware Racing & Racing LLC bred from the Stoli mare Stol A Bunny. Onthrocks has earned $193,406, after cashing in the #32,475 winner’s check.
