Pierre and Leslie Amestoy's Practical Move already qualified for the Kentucky Derby and go to post Saturday as the favorite in the Santa Anita Derby.
. Twenty horses that have run in the Santa Anita Derby have crossed the finish line first in the Kentucky Derby.
“The racing wasn’t very good in New Mexico, there were no purses and it declined so much there wasn’t much to hope for here,” Pierre said. “So, we went to Kentucky and started buying horses for some of Leslie’s clients. We bought a couple and pinhooked them for ourselves and we did good.” The couple own about two dozen horses, a mix of thoroughbreds and quarter horses that mostly run in New Mexico and Arizona. They have had three quarter horses run in the All-American Futurity. Pierre also operates a drywall, stucco and land development company.
Practical Move had a lot going for him but prospective buyers were leery of his late foal date of April 30. He will be the youngest of nine horses scheduled to start in Saturday’s race. “Usually when we go for our first pick, we don’t get it. Your eyes are bigger than your wallet. But he was our first pick at this sale and we got him.”
