Proceed Sires First Winner in New Mexico

Proceed, a multiple stakes winner in New Mexico who is now a freshman sire in the state, was represented by his first winner Nov. 29 at Zia Park as his daughter Wileo Proceed broke her maiden by 2 1/4 lengths. The bay filly, owned by trainer Tony Sedillo and Kenneth Wallin, bested 11 others in the 5 1/2-furlong maiden claiming event, her sixth start. Ridden by Miguel Perez, she was third through a :22.51 first quarter before taking over then went six wide into the turn as a half went in :46.28. She took control at the quarter pole and crossed the wire 2 1/4 lengths in front, stopping the clock in 1:06.14 on the fast track. Wileo Proceed was bred in New Mexico by Fred Alexander out of the black-type-winning Sir Cherokee mare Cherry One and is a half sister to black-type-placed One Mark (Marking). Proceed raced from ages 2-5 for owner/breeder Michael Stinson and trainer Joel Marr. He earned $468,329 from an 8-1-2 record in 11 starts, all of which came in his home state of New Mexico. The now 10-year-old son of Desert God collected four black-type wins, including the Mine That Bird Derby and Sunland Park Handicap. Out of the Texas Glitter mare Annis, he is a half brother to black-type winner Worthington and black-type-placed Thibodaux. Proceed stands at A & A Ranch. He was advertised for a $1,500 fee in 2021.
