Clones Finish 3rd, Next to Last in Futurity

Sunday, when the cloned mules faced each other head to head, offered less drama than Saturday when the police carted off jockey Alejandro Garcia who had been slated to ride clone Idaho Gem. In the end, the Ruby Thomas trained Idaho Gem came in third. Still, she was in the winner's circle after the race with her husband Ray Thomas who won the race with naturally bred mule Bar JF Hot Ticket.

Here Gem, the 4 mule, is seen in third place passing the tote board with Abraham Arriola in the irons with the red cap.
